POLIBIZ – Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, 59, was more than excited to show her health statement signed by her physician which concluded she “remained in excellent health”, and hastily challenged her presidential opponent to do the same. In response, Donald Trump, 78, back-countered her to pass a test on Cognitive Stamina and Agility “since there could be something very wrong with her”.

Trump recited the recent scandal on how CBS’ “60 Minutes” edited and replaced Harris’ original answer in an interview “with another answer that had nothing to do with the question asked”, according to Trump.
In the interview, Harris was asked about the Israel-Gaza war and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, “But it seems PM Benjamin Netanyahu is not listening [to the USA]”.
Harris’ actual answer: "The work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or .... as a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region."
Most of viewers claimed that, with that answer, it was completely impossible to understand what she really meant, where the standpoint of the US government on the war was, and what kind of action the government would take. It should be remembered that Harris is not only a presidential candidate but also the incumbent vice president who exercises the the federal's foreign policies.
After receiving negative comments on her answer, one day later, CBS released another version of the interview, in which the incumbent Vice President answered “We’re going to not stop pursuing what is necessary for the US to be clear about what we stand on the need for this war to end”.
The altered answer was not excellent but still better than the original actual answer, and the way Harris spoke in the edited version was much more fluent and confident than her first time. There’s high likelihood that Harris did rehearsal for her second answer and came to the studio for re-shooting.
Trump demanded the unedited script of the interview and described CBS’s editing as an illegal action, an election interference and even called for revoking their broadcasting license.
“Also, she is slow and lethargic in answering even the easiest of questions.”, the former President added.
Trump tends to use increasingly rigorous descriptions on his opponent in the presidential race whom he frequently refers to as "Lying Kamala". In his rally in Wisconsin, he called her “mentally impaired”, and in his speech at Detroit Economic Club, Trump stated “The real threat to democracy is stupid people”.
