Marjorie Taylor Greene spars with '60 Minutes' host Lesley Stahl over 'accusatory' questions
Share and Follow

During an interview on “60 Minutes,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., found herself in a brief exchange with host Lesley Stahl regarding what she perceived as “accusatory” behavior from the veteran journalist.

This marked Greene’s first in-depth conversation with Stahl following her announcement of resignation from Congress last month. The discussion touched upon Greene’s recent apology for her involvement in what she described as “toxic politics.”

“I would like to say humbly, I’m sorry for taking part in the toxic politics,” Greene stated during a CNN interview in November.

She elaborated, “It’s very bad for our country, and it’s something I’ve reflected on deeply, especially since Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I realize I’m accountable for my own words and actions. I am committed to stepping away from the divisive rhetoric in politics, and I’ve been actively working on this.”

Stahl, however, challenged Greene on her past behavior, asking pointedly, “But you contributed to that. You were out there, attacking and insulting people.”

Greene pushed back, claiming that Stahl had contributed to toxic politics herself.

“You’re accusatory, just like you did just then,” Greene said.

“I know you’re accusing me, but I’m smiling,” Stahl responded.

“You’re accusing me,” Greene said. “But we don’t have to accuse one another.”

The two continued to go back and forth, with Greene repeatedly insisting that Stahl should also acknowledge her own contribution to toxic politics.

“I don’t insult people,” Stahl said.

“You just, you do in the way you question,” Greene said. “And you are, you’re accusing me right now.”

Fox News Digital reached out to CBS News for comment. 

Greene previously sat down with Stahl in April 2023, when the two had a fiery exchange over the congresswoman’s claim that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles.”

“They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that?” Stahl exclaimed.

“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 said.

“Wow,” Stahl reacted.

Greene shocked the political landscape last month when she revealed she would leave Congress Jan. 5. Many believe her abrupt exit was the result of her soured relationship with President Donald Trump.
