Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.

During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.

    That interviewer is a conservative nutjob. Read anything he’s written for the New York Times. We’re just so used to seeing Fox and CNN-level interviewing that it felt like a revelation.

      I don’t think you can call anyone actually holding Trump’s feet to the fire a “conservative nutjob”. Those are the Sticker Mule guys writing rap songs about sucking his dick.

        No, he really is a conservative nut job. He just doesn’t like trump because he’s incompetent, not because they aren’t ideologically aligned.

      But he’s had various interviews where he gets interesting results. But yeah, he’s strange.

      Check out his interview of Peter Thiel.
