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.
4 years of crybaby MAGA people who don’t know what’s what and thinks everything is against them. Which is partially true.
4 years of this, people.
Thanks, Merrick Garland. Way to let a guy credibly accused of like 6 different Federal crimes (including a whole ass coup) just walk by slow walking investigations because you didn’t want to look political.
Don’t worry, it’s all gonna be fine. Joe Biden shook hands with Trump at White House last week.
4 more years of this. donvict’s bastardization of the slogan dates back to december 2011.
the far right whining about the ‘liberal’ media goes back a lot earlier than that
4 years… at least.
Only 4? God I wish I had your optimism
4 years of “you’ll never believe what we’ve found on twitter” journalism.
Four more years, with many more to come.
This part is actually kind of wild. For a people who idolize “strong men” to such a degree, the amount of crying they do is absurd.
