Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, refused to mince words when a CBS interviewer tried to use them against her.
Greene was interviewed on “60 Minutes” by Lesley Stahl, who narrated the interview and mentioned Greene saying “things … that are over the top.”
Stahl quoted Greene as saying during their face-to-face meeting, “The Democrats are a party of pedophiles.”
No blink. No retreat.
“I would definitely say so. They support grooming children,” Greene shot back.
“They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that?” Stahl countered.
“Democrats, Democrats support, even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children,” Greene replied.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she stands by some of her unfounded, polarizing claims, like Democrats are “a party of pedophiles" and the 2020 election was stolen. https://t.co/33pUe30EDl pic.twitter.com/lYHaNKMYJN

Stahl expressed her displeasure with Greene’s tactics after rolling her eyes.
“Wow. OK. But my question really is, can’t you fight for what you believe in without all that name-calling and without the personal attacks?” she asked.
“Well, I would ask the same question to the other side because all they’ve done is call me names and insult me non-stop since I’ve been here, Lesley. They call me racist. They call me anti-Semitic, which is not true. I’m not calling anyone names. I’m calling out the truth basically,” she said.
Greene stood firm after Stahl responded with “pedophile” in a disapproving tone, slightly shaking her head.
“Pedophile. Call it what it is,” she said as CBS then cut to a voice-over that ensured Greene’s further comments were not heard.
It was an honor to spend a few days with the legendary icon Leslie Stahl and talented crew @60Minutes.
Leslie is a trailblazer for women in journalism.
And while we may disagree on some issues, I respect her greatly.
Tune in tomorrow 7 pm ET on CBS. https://t.co/GpqTHxposb— Marjorie Taylor Greene 🇺🇸 (@mtgreenee) April 1, 2023
The interview, like everything Greene does, caused a stir.

I tried to watch Lesley Stahl & @60Minutes interview Marjorie Taylor Greene, they unapologetically platformed an antisemitic conspiracy theorist. Lost any respect I held for 60 minutes, there’s holding politicians accountable, & there’s giving ‘em a bullhorn, y’all did the latter

Good on 60 Minutes/Lesley Stahl for having the courage to take this on.Amazing that people who say they’re liberal no longer believe in free speech.The argument: “normalizing extremism” is as old as tyranny/censorship.That’s the point of the 1st amendment

In other parts of the interview, she stated that her views frequently reflect those of her constituents and that members of Congress are becoming aware of this.
“On an issue, when I’m outspoken about it, and I take my stand or my position, the first reaction is, ‘Marjorie’s crazy. Marjorie’s extreme. Marjorie’s a right wing extremist.’ And then what will happen is my colleagues will go back home to their district, and their own constituents are coming up and saying, ‘Are you supporting Marjorie? Do you agree with Marjorie? Have you cosponsored Marjorie’s bill?’ And then they find out, ‘Oh, maybe she’s not crazy.’ And then they end up agreeing with me,” Greene said, according to a transcript of the interview posted on CBS.
When Stahl sought to chastise Greene for being in what Stahl called “attack mode,” Greene made no apologies.
“I think our government deserves it. They don’t really deserve to be respected that much,” she said.

Ok, I do not mean to switch topics too much but if you haven’t noticed—there is a highly woke agenda being promoted everywhere.
This woke agenda is being promoted not only on television but also in movies. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg. Even the stores that we shop at are funding the very liberal, commie, woke agendas that we are doing our best to rail against.
We need to stop funding these woke companies and I have an amazing alternative for you.
The only “catch”?
It’s only by referral.
Good thing you know someone that can refer you and that is me.
So, click this link and I can send you some information on shopping with an American-made, patriot-owned store that also has grass-fed beef.s
No antibiotics, steroids, or junk either.
It is time that we start supporting American companies and stop feeding the globalist woke agenda >>>https://tinyurl.com/23ctzwky
