Outspoken GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene doubled down on calling Democrats pedophiles, blasted establishment Republicans and demanded that the US stop the flow of aid money to Ukraine in a wide-ranging and fiery 60 Minutes interview Sunday. Taylor Greene also known as MTG made numerous controversial comments during her sitdown with veteran reporter Leslie Stahl and was promptly panned by many across social media. In one of the more shocking moments, the Georgia lawmaker responded I would definitely say so when Stahl pressed her on previous comments she has made about Democrats being the party of pedophiles. They support grooming children, Taylor Greene, 48, said without providing evidence. Democrats support even Joe Biden the president himself support children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children. She also reiterated her opposition to funding weapons and financial aid for Ukraine to help Kyiv win its war against Russias brutal invasion. What I have voted against is funding a war in Ukraine, she said. The entire time I have been saying the United States needs to be pushing for peace in Ukraine, not funding a proxy war with Russia.

The interview conducted by Stahl was criticized by numerous political observers, including many liberals, for letting Taylor Greene off easy. Stahl interviewed Greene as if she were just another someone unusual member of Congress with some out-there ideas, The Atlantic writer Tom Nichols tweeted. Showed MTG some of her worst stuff, and MTG just waved it away, and Stahl let it all slide. Victor Shi, an activist and speaker, called the interview truly terrible. Dont get me wrong: I respect Leslie Stahl. But that interview she just did with Marjorie Taylor Greene was truly terrible, Shi, who was a delegate for President Biden in 2020, tweeted. Little to no pushback. She let MTG get away with lie after lie. And author Molly Jong-Fast was also one of many progressives to chime in. Elevating a mini trumper because that worked out so well last time, she tweeted.

Didn't 60 Minutes jump the shark a few years ago? It seems like a lot of big-name news sources have degraded in quality. Time magazine is shit now too.

I saw she was going to be on it and that people were rightfully suspecting MTG would get off very easy with simple questions and not being pushed to explain or defend herself. Granted, that's about the only way you'd get her to sit down for an interview. But still. Giving her that kind of exposure and not calling her out for it is dangerous and at this point actively harmful.

So, the trick here is that no republicans actually EVER watch 60 minutes, regardless of the guest. So if you're a republican guest the accepted standard is to say something or to act to wildly unruly that it makes the mainstream Fox News cycle the next day, because she that's what they DO watch.

It's like the political equivalent of leaving a burning pile of shit on the doorstep of your "opposition". You've both made a mess that's a pain in the ass to deal with an "signaled" to your base what a motherfucker(Somehow a positive term) you are to the "enemy".

I'm tired boss.

The same show that had its female host wear a headscarf to appease the Iranian President despite his being in the US and thus is not entitled to such a demand?

At least a decade ago. Maybe longer.

Some people still watch it though.

This is why I'll watch American right-wingers being interviewed on British news channels. The press call out the bullshit in the most humiliating way possible even when they're on the same side.

Why though? Elon Musk and Bezos won the game right? They're way ahead of any rich person could hope to achieve in the US at least at this point, if anything their efforts to be richest person ever would be better of sabotaging Musk/Bezos instead of manipulating politicians to save an extra $400k every year, you'll never catch up to Musk. Or moving to some even more corrupt country to reap even more benefits.

If you're not trying to be the richest person ever, why keep hoarding more money? You have plenty of money to do whatever you want several times over, at some point getting more money has diminishing returns on reputation and power. $500 mil to $1 bil, sure. $1 bil to $1.8 bil is a bigger jump but not a bigger status.

And like, what are you even doing with the money? You'd think that someone would amount all this power to do some crazy shit like everybody has to participate in Flamingo Fridays or some random shit that is so oddly specific to their life needs, but it's all policies to make more money.

I literally don't see the motive behind manipulating the country to get measly returns on shit. Not saying it's not happening, just like, why though?

I'm sure she is the first to call out her own when they are caught trying to date kids.

Or if they do, they better get tough questions and called out on their bullshit, like that Axios Trump interview.

Moonves called the campaign for president a circus full of bomb throwing, and he hopes it continues.

7 years later and it's showing precious few signs of stopping, Les. Thanks for your contribution.

The only thing the rich love more than money is controlling and keeping everyone else down.

Oh cool, actual televised slander. I wonder if she's going to see any legal consequences from this.

Wait...

She's a Republican. :(

Republicans think that anyone showing support to a kid who is questioning their gender or sexuality, is only doing it to groom them for sex later. Keep in mind that they think that being gay or trans is a choice and that you can be "tricked into it"

At this point I think they believe any adult who is nice to a kid is a groomer, including parents

Kids should spend their first 18 years playing football, memorizing math equations, remembering America has a flawless history, and fearing God. Happiness and individuality are woke commie nonsense.
