Nyt Trumpilla on oma versio Harrisin "editoidusta" 60 minuttia haastattelusta, joka sai sen näyttämään "älykkäämmältä".
Fox News leikkasi pois Trumpin kommentit, jossa leikattiin hänen Epstein lausuntoaan polittisesti korrektimmaksi:
"In the interview, co-host Rachel Campos-Duffy asked whether Trump would declassify “9/11 files” and “JFK files.” He said yes without hesitation. Then she asked, “Would you declassify the Epstein files?”
His answer, as it initially aired: “Yeah, yeah, I would.”
But in the full version that only aired later, Trump said, “Yeah, yeah, I would. I guess I would. I think that less so because, you don’t know, you don’t want to affect people’s lives if it’s phony stuff in there, because it’s a lot of phony stuff with that whole world. But I think I would, or at least—”
Campos-Duffy interjected and said, “Do you think that would restore trust? Help restore trust?”
Trump hedged again: “I don’t know about Epstein, so much as I do the others. Certainly, about the way he died. It’d be interesting to find out what happened there, because that was a weird situation and the cameras didn’t happen to be working, etc., etc. But yeah, I’d go a long way toward that one. The other stuff, I would.”
Critics said the edited version that originally aired was egregious because it stripped away Trump’s uncertainty, presenting his stance in a more definitive — and politically favorable — light."
Tuo oli tietty 2024. On ehkä myös osasyy siihen, miksi Maga kultti vainoaa nyt Epsteinistä, kun tuo ei ollut ainoa tilaisuus, jossa Trump oli julkaisemassa materiaalia ja nyt se onkin jotain, josta kuuluu vaieta.
