It's unclear why CBS aired two different answers to the same question. However, CBS posted both clips on YouTube. CBS News did not respond to a request for comment.
The Trump campaign asked CBS to release the full interview, unedited, on Tuesday.
“On Sunday, 60 Minutes teased Kamala's much-anticipated sit-down interview with the worst word salad ever, which drew heavy criticism on social media. During the entire interview Monday night, the word salad was used to describe Kamala's remarks. It was deceptively edited to soften it. It's a stupid response,” said Caroline Levitt, the Trump campaign's national spokeswoman. “Why did 60 Minutes choose not to air Kamala's full text salad, and what else did they choose not to air? The American public has a right to the unedited full text of Kamala's sit-down interview. There is. We ask 60 Minutes and CBS to reveal it.' What do they and Kamala have to hide? ”
