'We Fact-Checked': Marjorie Taylor Greene Caught Lying in '60 Minutes' Interview
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) went on a bizarre tangent after she was called out for lying about her past comments suggesting the Parkland, Florida, school shooting was staged.
During an interview with CBS News’ Lesley Stahl broadcast Sunday on “60 Minutes,” Greene was asked for her stance on the 2018 massacre, which left 17 students and staff dead. Two years before she was elected to Congress, Greene responded to a comment on Facebook calling the shooting a “false flag” operation.
People are allowed to change. Personal growth is a fantastic thing. Yet people like MGT lack the minimum levels of humility to just say "yeah I said some stupid stuff a few years ago but have learned a lot since then and have a more developed perspective"
Lying and making up facts is now who the Republicans have become.
‘60 Minutes’ Let Marjorie Taylor Greene Spout a Bunch of Transphobic BS on National TV
Far-right GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene got the profile treatment from “60 Minutes” Sunday, and used the platform to call President Joe Biden and the Democrats “pedophiles” who “support grooming children.” ‘
The Georgia congresswoman made the comment to CBS anchor Lesley Stahl during a heavily-criticized segment in which Stahl described her as “known to be smart and fearless,” as having a “sharp tongue,” and possessing a “brazen gutsiness.”
It's a mistake to take the bait and argue over whether it's the Democrats or the Republicans who are pedophiles.
What deserves your attention is their attempt to change the definitions of pedophilia and grooming. They're saying for a school to accept a student they way they are - to say it's okay - is grooming.
That idea needs to be stopped.
