Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice blasted CBS News’ “60 Minutes” for what she feels was a deceptive editing job of an interview that aired Sunday about the conservative organization dedicated to parental rights.
“I think that ‘60 Minutes’ came in expecting us to be ‘Looney Tunes,’” Justice told Fox News Digital.
“I think that they didn’t get what they wanted out of the interview, which was they wanted some ranting and raving lunatic who was, you know, just wanting to get rid of… teaching and learning in general,” Justice continued. “And we sat down, and we wanted to have an honest conversation with them about the state of literacy in America, the fact that we have a national crisis on our hands with only a third of children reading on grade level.”
“60 Minutes” aired the segment on Sunday night, more than four months after it was recorded in October. Justice claims she and fellow Moms for Liberty co-founder Tina Descovich were “censored” by CBS News.

“It was heavily edited and cut to try to make us seem like we weren’t sure about the real issues that are plaguing American families and children. But to be clear, we’re very sure of the issues that are plaguing American families,” Justice said.
