On Thursday, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel condemned former President Donald Trump's calls for CBS to lose its broadcast license over a '60 Minutes' interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. Rosenworcel stated, "While repeated attacks against broadcast stations by the former President may now be familiar, these threats against free speech are serious and should not be ignored." The controversy arose after CBS shared two different versions of Harris's response in the interview.
