The panel on The View found themselves in a heated debate over Marjorie Taylor Greene’s recent remarks criticizing President Trump’s controversial comments about the late filmmaker Rob Reiner.
Following the tragic discovery of Reiner and his wife Michele Singer’s murders in their Los Angeles home, Trump took to Truth Social to make a baseless claim. He suggested that Reiner’s death was a result of “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” a term he used to describe what he saw as Reiner’s relentless criticism of him.
During Wednesday’s episode, The View featured a segment from Greene’s CNN interview where she condemned Trump’s statement as “classless” and unworthy of a president. Greene also warned that the Republican Party was facing an impending defeat in the upcoming midterm elections.
Sunny Hostin questioned her colleagues, “Who would have thought a year ago that Marjorie Taylor Greene would become a warning sign for the GOP?”
Whoopi Goldberg appeared to share this sentiment. “That’s almost like witnessing a miracle,” she remarked. “When someone shifts away from extreme views and recognizes when their actions hinder not just themselves, but also their supporters, that’s significant.”
But Joy Behar was not so sure with her co-hosts’ assessment of the controversial Georgia state representative.
“You give her too much credit,” Behar told her co-hosts. She reminded them that Greene is an “ambitious” politician. “Let’s not forget, Santa is bringing the Epstein files this week and everybody’s weakened in the Republican Party right now. They’re not gonna win, she knows it. She wants to run for something else.”
Behar then added, “I’m happy to have her on our side now,” which Goldberg corrected. “I don’t know if she’s on our side,” Goldberg replied, later adding, “Something woke her up and I’m happy it did.”
Greene recently shocked the hosts of The View during a recent visit where they came to realize they share more in common than they thought. But Greene staunchly denied that she was on the left now, despite her criticisms of the right and the Republican party.
“I’m sitting here just stumped, because you are a very different person than I thought you were,” Hostin told her at the time. “I feel like I’m sitting next to a completely different Marjorie Taylor Greene. Why the change? Why the evolution? You’ve gone so far right, you’re on the left now.”
Greene quickly set the record straight and told Hostin that she’s “not on the left,” adding, “All of this two-party fighting, you guys are all victims of the political industrial complex… but it’s not gonna solve our problems in this country.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
