"Kelly said her team went back and reviewed the full interview which CBS now posts online following President Donald Trump's lawsuit over a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris and found Hegseth was not responding to a question about Israel. The voiceover said: Some normally enthusiastic supporters of the president have criticized him, suggesting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pulled the U.S. into a war that, to their minds, did not put American interests first."
"Kelly then showed footage of the actual question correspondent Major Garrett asked beforehand, which was: You mentioned America First, some who identify with that movement have said from their perspective this isn't an America First campaign. Do you want to address that criticism? Kelly ripped that edit on Monday. There was nothing, nothing about Netanyahu and nothing about Israel in the Q or the A."
"Here's the thing, they do not give a sh*t about misleading you over at CBS the old CBS or the new CBS, which has a brand new agenda. The left will tell you it's pro-MAGA it's not pro-MAGA, trust me."
Megyn Kelly criticized 60 Minutes for allegedly manipulating its Pete Hegseth interview through deceptive editing. Kelly's team reviewed the full interview posted online and discovered CBS inserted a voiceover mentioning Israel and Netanyahu before Hegseth's response, despite the original question from correspondent Major Garrett addressing criticism about America First policies, not Israel. The voiceover suggested some Trump supporters criticized the president over Israeli involvement in military operations. Kelly argued CBS deliberately misled viewers by restructuring the interview to emphasize Israel's role in U.S. military decisions. She attributed the editorial decision to CBS News boss Bari Weiss's pro-Israel stance and criticized the network for prioritizing a particular agenda over journalistic accuracy.
