Trey Gowdy vs Ted Cruz for Supreme Court: take our POLL here.
Even though he isn’t the president yet, many have wondered why President-elect Donald Trump had not spoken out against reports that his supporters have harassed minorities.
As it turns out he had, but CBS sat on that information for two days.
CBS’ “60 Minutes” interviewed the soon-to-be president on Friday where he addressed his supporters who are participating in racially insensitive, and even harassing, behavior.
“I am so saddened to hear that,” Trump said. “And I say, ‘Stop it.’ If it — if it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: ‘Stop it.'”
CBS released various clips to promote the Sunday night interview but, inexplicably, held that one back.
Might it be because in the same interview CBS tried to blame Trump for the riots going on across America?
Many media personalities, including Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera and CNN’s Brian Stelter wanted to know why that clip wasn’t released immediately.
#60Mins great @realDonaldTrump intv. Made news-But him telling militant supporters to cool it should’ve been a bulletin released immediately

Trump tells supporters responsible for violence to ‘stop it’ and CBS releases various other bits of footage but holds that for two days.

The network’s response?
CBS’s underwhelming answer: “We chose to release a quote on the issue that affects the most Americans & that was his statement on Obamacare”
