Schumer Wants To File Complaint About ’60 Minutes’ Editing Trump Interview, White House Fires Back

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) suggested on Sunday evening that he might file a complaint with the Federal Communications Commission over the fact that President Donald Trump’s “60 Minutes” interview with Norah O’Donnell was edited for time.

Citing the lawsuit filed by Trump over a “60 Minutes” interview of former Vice President Kamala Harris — just days before the 2024 presidential election — Schumer claimed that he could simply copy and paste the complaint from that lawsuit.

“Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview. It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris,” Schumer posted via X.

The president’s rapid response team shot down Schumer’s claim, however, saying that the edits were not at all the same.

“They deceptively edited Kamala’s answers to make her look somewhat coherent ahead of an election, you moron — then wouldn’t release the transcript/unedited interview. That’s not the same as editing for time constraints (AND the transcript/unedited interview were both released),” their response read.

They and others quickly pointed out the fact that CBS had edited the Harris interview in order to make her sound less incoherent — and then had proceeded to slow-roll the release of the full transcript and unedited video. Trump’s interview, on the other hand, had been published in full along with the transcript on the day the interview aired.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr flipped the script on Schumer, saying that as long as he and other Democrats insisted on voting to keep the federal government shut down, the FCC would not be able to address his complaint.

“Due to the Schumer Shutdown, even your frivolous filing could not be processed by the FCC. But seriously, you should end the Schumer Shutdown-which is imposing real pain on American families-rather than nonsense posting. You should open the government, rather than using Americans’ pain to pander to your far left flank,” Carr posted.

“Maybe you should stop posting nonsense at 1:19AM in the morning and open the government,” Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) added.

Mamdani Effect: Abbott Says He’ll Impose 100% Tariff On New Yorkers Moving To Texas After Election

With the strong possibility that Democratic Marxist-Islamist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani may be elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday night, Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s sights are squarely on New Yorkers.

Anticipating the mass escape from New York that might occur with a Mamdani victory, Abbott wrote on X, “After the polls close tomorrow night, I will impose a 100% tariff on anyone moving to Texas from NYC.”

This move fits neatly into Abbott’s broader pattern of blending culture-war politics with aggressive state policy. Over the past year, he has made it clear that leftist ideologies — especially in academia — won’t be welcomed in the Lone Star State. “Texas is targeting professors who are more focused on pushing leftist ideologies rather than preparing students to lead our nation,” he wrote last month. “We must end indoctrination and return to education fundamentals at all levels of education.”

Abbott has since championed audits of gender identity and LGBTQ courses across the University of Texas system, framing them as a battle for educational fundamentals. Texas lawmakers, meanwhile, are demanding even stricter oversight, convinced that schools are still promoting “radical leftist” content.

Abbott has also taken a hard line on immigration, and targeted the leftist Northeast. In 2022 alone, Texas bused nearly 16,000 migrants to sanctuary cities including New York, Washington, D.C., and Chicago. Abbott indicated it was relief for overburdened localities. Even Democrats like former New York Governor David Patterson admitted the tactic was “brilliant” from a strategic standpoint, noting its ability to highlight federal inaction while putting sanctuary city leaders on the defensive.

Abbott’s “100% tariff” joke signals a zero tolerance stance for residents leaving NYC for Texas if a progressive mayor takes office. The idea is to draw a stark line between Texas’ conservative values and what Abbott portrays as leftist chaos elsewhere.

From auditing classrooms to busing migrants and now slapping hypothetical tariffs on New Yorkers, Greg Abbott is proving that in Texas, governance and culture wars are inseparable — and that he won’t hesitate to take his fight beyond the state line.
