'Worst in American History': Trump rails against Harris after ducking out of 60 Minutes

Former President Donald Trump slammed Vice President Kamala Harris' "60 Minutes" interview in a Truth Social rant that made no reference to his decision to duck out of the television appearance at the last minute.

Trump took to his social media site Tuesday morning to rail against Harris who — unlike the Republican presidential nominee — appeared on the CBS News show Monday evening as originally planned.

"The Interview on 60 Minutes with Comrade Kamala Harris is considered by many of those who reviewed it, the WORST Interview they have ever seen," Trump wrote. "She literally had no idea what she was talking about, and it was an embarrassment to our Country that a Major Party Candidate would be so completely inept."

Nearly a week ago, CBS announced to Americans that Trump had broken with 50 years of presidential campaign tradition by refusing to appear on the broadcast.

"After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley," the station said in a statement, "former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate."

Trump accused Harris of failing to help victims of Hurricane Helene, as he has done with a series of false claims about Federal Emergency Management funding, President Joe Biden's availability and the Democratic administration's alleged hesitancy to provide aid to Republican voters.

In fact, two former Trump staffers have revealed the then-President was only convinced to help Californians coping with wildfires in 2018 when he was shown voter data proving he had supporters in the state.

"Her Incompetence on 'helping' people through the devastation of Hurricane Helene is being reviewed as, by far, the Worst in American History," Trump wrote. "I can’t imagine anybody living in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, or Tennessee, voting for her."

Harris supporters in Georgia told the Guardian Monday the Democratic presidential nominee had quietly appeared in regions hit hardest by the southern swing state to offer condolences and support.

"She went to a shelter. She spoke to people, she gave food," said Jordan Johnson, a Richmond county commissioner. "Trump is going to one of the most affluent parts...He’s here to get votes, and she’s here to help.”
