Lesley Stahl: Giant health care book in Trump interview had 'no comprehensive health care plan'

CBS's Lesley Stahl said the giant book presented to her as the president's health care plan after President Trump walked out of a "60 Minutes" interview had "no comprehensive healthcare plan."

The moment took place just after Trump cut short an interview last week. Press secretary Kayleigh McEnany then walked in to deliver what she said was the White House health care plan, warning it was a little heavy. Stahl can be heard saying "I can't lift it" in the interview.

Then, in a voiceover for Sunday's "60 Minutes" episode, Stahl says the book lacked a health care plan.

"Kayleigh McEnany, gave us a heavy book that she described as the president's health care plan. It was filled with executive orders and congressional initiatives, but no comprehensive healthcare plan," she said.

Overwhelm them with a bunch of junk that will do nothing more than slow the press down.

They never expected that Lesley Stahl would actually open the book and try to read it.

so that grab some pages from a sibling's old term paper, turn that in then later claim that they "accidentally" picked up the wrong paper. If CBS bothers to follow up, I'm sure that the response will be something like that.

than if they had not wasted our money on this stupidly transparent stunt.

It's still equal amounts of nothing to show, no matter what ridiculousness Covid Barbie engages in.
