(This post may contain disputed claims. We make no assertions as to the validity of the information presented by our Opinion Columnist. We are an opinion blog, not a traditional news outlet, and this post should be treated as such. Enjoy.)President Donald Trump is on the warpath. Trump is now exposing CBS‘s Lesley Stahl after the 60 Minutes investigative journalist was adamant about covering for the Hunter Biden laptop. In fact, Stahl’s “crazy excuse” was so disgraceful, the president made sure that part of the interview went public and did not get trashed by CBS. Don’t miss this.
President Donald Trump on Thursday posted the full video of an interview with 60 Minutes host Lesley Stahl after cutting the contentious exchange short.
“Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA,” Trump tweeted Thursday morning along with the link to the video:

The video shows Stahl at the beginning of the interview asking Trump if he is prepared to answer “tough questions.”
Stahl then pressed the president on the coronavirus, spending most of her time asking him why he did not wear a mask or order his supporters to wear masks at his rallies. Assistant Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also weighed in on Stahl’s behavior at the White House, including this notion Stahl made about “mask-wearing.”
“This is moments after she criticized me for not wearing a mask while working at my desk. Rules for thee but not for me, Lesley?” tweeted Leavitt along with a video of Stahl not wearing a mask:

However, it’s Lesley Stahl’s blatant bias for the Biden family and her ridiculous excuse to give them cover that caused Trump to end the interview.
“Stahl claimed the contents of Hunter Biden’s allegedly abandoned laptop ‘can’t be verified,’ offering literal circular reasoning to defend the statement during an interview with President Donald Trump posted Thursday,” Breitbart reports.
A transcript is as follows:
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: I think it’s one of the biggest scandals I’ve ever seen, and you don’t cover it.
LESLEY STAHL: Because it can’t be verified.
TRUMP: You want to talk about insignificant things.
STAHL: I’m telling you.
TRUMP: Of course it can be verified. Excuse me, they found the laptop.
STAHL: It can’t be verified.
TRUMP: What can’t be verified?
STAHL: The laptop.
TRUMP: Why do you say that?
STAHL: Because it can’t be verified.
TRUMP: The family on the laptop — [Joe Biden’s] gone into hiding for five days. He’s gone into hiding.
STAHL: He’s preparing for your debate.
TRUMP: It’s taking him five days to prepare? I doubt it. I doubt. Okay, go ahead.
“This exchange between Trump and Lesley Stahl is insane. She repeatedly insists the Biden laptops ‘can’t be verified’ so reporters shouldn’t talk about it. Trump asks her why it can’t be verified. Her answer: ‘Because it can’t be verified’,” tweeted White House Correspondent Anders Hagstrom.

Conservative reporters were shocked that Lesley Stahl wasn’t prepared with a good excuse and had to resort to the ridiculous “it can’t be verified.”
“No wonder [Trump] got pissed at 60 Minutes,” Twitchy reports. “Here’s CBS’s Leslie Stahl — one of the nation’s top investigative journalists — telling President Trump the Hunter Biden laptop ‘can’t be verified.’ OF COURSE IT CAN BE VERIFIED!”
CBS was in panic mode after Trump released the entire interview.

Americans were also angry over the continued cover-up of this scandal by the mainstream media.
“Interesting takeaways from this interview: Lesley Stahl says she won’t air Trump claims that his campaign was spied on because it can’t be verified and asserts Hunter Biden stories are ‘discredited’. ‘This is 60 minutes,’ she said in defense of the position,” tweeted Anthony Leonardi.

“If Leslie Stahl & @60Minutes claim the laptops can’t be verified, why are Hunter Biden’s lawyers requesting from the shop to have them back & how did Hunter Biden’s signature get on a receipt for laptop repairs? Amount coverup & wagon circling by Big Media & Big Tech is unreal,” tweeted “TheRightWingM.”

“Not ONE thing about the ‘Russia Collusion’ hoax was ever verified, but the liberal media talked about it 24/7 for over two years. Yet lying Lesley Stahl claims emails from a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden can’t be verified,” tweeted Patricia Dickson.

It’s President Trump against the Democrats, the Hollywood crowd, and the mainstream media.
We have never seen this type of vicious opposition to any past president. Even George W. Bush did not have the entire media complex making such ridiculous claims against him. Journalists made sure they had solid sources before ever reporting on the “weapons of mass destruction” scandal during the Bush presidency.
Now, we have 60 Minutes claiming a laptop “can’t be verified.” This is a travesty. That’s why Americans who give a damn about this country must act now. Make sure all your family and friends are getting to the polls to vote for Trump. We can’t afford to lose the “most important” election of our lifetime.
We can’t afford to lose this country to the liars and schemers. If we do everything we can, there is no doubt we will be victorious on Election Day.
