60 Minutes acknowledged the criticism of its interview with President Donald Trump on Sunday’s (November 9) show by reading out some of the feedback it received from viewers.
Towards the end of Sunday’s episode, Cecilia Vega addressed the backlash, saying, “In the mail, we received hundreds of notes about our interview with President Trump. The country may be politically divided, but the criticism we got from viewers was bipartisan.”
