I plan to watch it. Lesley Stahl is great at getting people to open up, maybe she can get ol' Margie to hang herself with her own words.
I watched it. Marjorie is who she says she is. NO apologies. What is frightening is that people actually think she is what we need in Congress. The rest of the country, outside her district, don't think much of her.
Now that I've seen the interview it's obvious she's been heavily coached on her responses and has been for years. She's very good at evading questions and denies she ever said things she actually posted on social media. When asked why she doesn't give Donald Trump any of the blame for our current problems she replies, "The President isn't in control of everything", but won't extend the same courtesy to Joe Biden, calling him and the Democratic party pedophiles. The segment on 60 Minutes also pointed out that her national approval rating is around 29%. I would imagine it's considerably lower than that in NYC where she plans to lead protests tomorrow at Trump's arraignment. Things could get ugly.
Thanks for watching that, as I can’t stand the sight of that woman- or the sound of her annoying voice
Yeah, I watched it, it was making me crazy, but it's like an accident scene - you just have to see it. Yeah, she was very well rehearsed, and shame on Leslie for not smoking more out of her smug ass.
Leslie seemed to attempt to be fair - but there's not much to be fair about when it comes to her. She has been brainwashed from the beginning, listening to conservative talk radio in her father's place of business. She has no fear of calling people out, even the Republicans in the House and Senate that are more moderate. I'm glad 60 Minutes interviewed her. It's good to expose her in that light. Light is a good thing to shine on darkness such as her beliefs. What I don't like is the constant giving of free air time to people like her - I don't consider her interview a bad thing, but I do consider the constant news pieces about her and what she is doing. I think the media has not gotten over their love of the drama that Trump brought to the forefront. You may not remember - but only a few short years ago, Trump's brand of politics was pretty shocking. The media ate it up and became addicted to it.
Here are a few transcripts from the interview: Leslie (01:07): "We looked up some words that have been said about you. Crazy, Q clown, loony tune, unhinged, moron. Pretty ugly stuff." Leslie (01:32): "How much have you styled yourself after Donald Trump? People say that you are Trump in high heels." Marjorie Taylor Greene (05:14): "Well, if school zones were protected with security guards with guns, there would be no mass shootings at schools." Marjorie Taylor Greene (05:37): "Democrats, even Joe Biden the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children." Marjorie Taylor Greene (11:06): "I don’t know if you actually have my pos… No, I never said Parkland was a false flag." Leslie (11:52): "Let me button this up and we’ll move on. You want to bring the Republican Party closer to your views? You want to bring the country closer to your views. You’ve said that. Here are some of the things you’ve said, that America should have a Christian government, that abortion should be banned nationally, that you want to defund the FBI. Yes? You want immigration to stop for four years. You’ve said those things, correct?" Marjorie Taylor Greene (12:27): "Oh yes. These are some of my views."
I'm disappointed they gave her the publicity. I see she actually moved to her district. Nice to know that they will actually have their very own village idiot.
Well, they did have a family construction biz where they legally stole money. Funny, she said her father always listened to right wing radio - see? Propaganda works.
Unbelievable. She's completely lost it. https://thehill.com/homenews/house/...compares-trump-to-jesus-ahead-of-arraignment/
I'm not so sure. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity but in her case we could make an exception. Her clueless followers might eat it up but with most people it only confirms their view that she's utterly unqualified to serve in government, and her defense of Trump only hurts him more.
You're right, and the statistics bear you out. But the minority is large enough to threaten democracy as we know it.
