Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene used her final "60 Minutes" interview to call out the corporate media’s role in creating "toxic politics." Greene shocked host Lesley Stahl by labeling the journalist’s questioning as "accusatory."
The exchange started after Greene offered a humble apology for her past behavior. She told Stahl, “I would like to say humbly, I‘m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics." Greene said her resignation was fueled by the thought that she is "only responsible for myself and my own words and actions."
Stahl immediately attacked the sincerity of the apology. She aggressively questioned Greene, saying, “But you contributed to that. You. You, you were out there pounding, insulting people.”
Greene immediately pushed back, confirming that the media is the problem. She told Stahl, "You're accusatory, just like you did just then."
The back-and-forth became tense, with Greene repeatedly insisting that Stahl acknowledge the media’s role in the chaos. Stahl defensively responded, "I don't insult people."
Greene hit back: “You just, you do in the way you question. And you are, you're accusing me right now.” The exchange proved that the media is incapable of accepting accountability.
The interview also referenced their previous fiery exchange where Greene claimed Democrats are the "party of pedophiles." Stahl exclaimed, “They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that?”
Greene clarified that Democrats support the sexualization of children and transgender surgeries, saying, “Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children.”
Greene shocked the political landscape when she announced she would leave Congress next month. Many insiders believe her abrupt exit resulted from her soured relationship with President Donald Trump.
