Scott Pelley recapped the Cabinet picks of President-elect Donald Trump in the “60 Minutes” opening Sunday, enraging MAGA supporters despite the segment’s recitation of facts. (Watch the video below.)
The summary “is exactly why no one respects the legacy media anymore,” one person complained on X, formerly Twitter.
“Pure Democratic propaganda,” griped another.
Pelley, a correspondent, began by noting “some nominees appear to have no compelling qualifications other than loyalty to Trump.”
He pointed out defense secretary nominee Pete Hegseth’s lack of government experience and recent gig as a Fox News morning host; the investigation into attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz’s alleged sex with a minor; and the vaccine skepticism of health and human services nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“It’s up to the new Republican majority in the Senate to decide whether these nominees are equipped to represent the American people,” Pelley concluded.
Other administrations being bad does not make this one better. Everyone is in a position to critique this administration because everyone has a stake.
Everyone’s in a position to criticize every administration. But y’all only do it one way.
Because that one way is WAY THE FUCK WORSE
No. Not really. You’re just propagandized to accept the corporate version of the same clusterfuck of nominations.
