I just watched Steve Schmidt and he’s right she’s crazy .
@mightybruno your opinions are irrelevant 👍
@ryan mac you must hear that all the time
Lol the Lincoln project dude?
@Bill Miller I’ll have t go find that because I think Steve Schmidt is aces, and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit that he’d say she’s crazy. I know she’s crazy just look in her eyes, we see that look in all the old Hitchcock movies!
I feel like I loose brain cells every time I listen to MTJ. 🥴
@Arjuna I have to wear ear plugs whenever I listen to Marjory Toadstool Greene, Matt (my girlfriend is 17) Gaetz, Benedict Donald Trump, Gym Jordan, Josh Hawley, Lauren Blowbert!, just to name a few it’s like the lies they tell are too painful to listen too!
😂😂😂😂😂 RFLMAO
@PureBlood You mean Daughter of the Confederacy aka female Ku Klux Klan
“I stand behind my social media posts!! But I’m not always in control of them!!!” This is a great example of fascist doublespeak.
It’s your account – you’re responsible for what’s on it. No different than a boss is responsible for their employees.
@Louis Tully have you actually ever looked up what’s meant by ‘defund the police’, or is it just easier parrot the talking points you’ve been spoon fed without knowing what they mean?
She is the kind of your crazy auntie that come to your house and immediately you tell your mom: “Nope , I’m going out” 🤣😂🤣
Good for her, a seasoned journalist took her to task and her reaction is to the ridiculous was so necessary. Reacting this way to Trumpers is a weapon as they feel humiliated. Either they really believe the crap they spew or it’s their business.
Odd how we have flight logs of Democrats spending time on a billionaires island.
I hate that Leslie interviewed her – but Im glad that a larger audience was able to see how literally stupid MGT is.
yet another national embarrassment for us
@Marie H 🤣🤣
Large audiences in CNN 😮 what a joke.
MTG makes it easier for her supporters to feel comfortable with their own ignorance. Most can look at her and say, “Well, she’s a complete moron and yet she’s getting rich being a politician, maybe there’s hope for me after all.”
What a sorry day to have someone like this in Congress and it is not just one… so sad to hear these people defend this stuff…
As a Canadian I feel sorry for Americans having someone like MTG in power.
Same feeling re Trudeau… aka fidelito
You must be a Liberal Party Donor .
Thank you. I’m upset about it too 😓
@Ruben Simonsen Music Maybe gazpacho police would be a good thing to have?
The irony of her saying COVID bailout money is where spending should be cut. Her business got a PPP loan because of the pandemic, and the loan was forgiven.
@Boogins mcNutty AND???
@Adam Poe bank bailout is the most ignorant idea.
As for you, that loan was a choice you made. Why should others pay for the loan you took out???
@Steve Stoll So what do you say to the millions of families that lost a love one from covid. Guess you don’t care if it doesn’t affect you. Shameful.
I feel bad for her kids….having Marjorie Three Names as a Mom is a horrific way to grow up as a kid.
Someone has to love her,don’t they?😢
I’ve said the same thing about my former boss’s sons, as she was almost as bad a person as MTG.
@Boogins mcNutty If she was my mother I would love her but I would keep my distance from her.
There are grown adults walking amongst us who voted for this hot mess to represent them. She is abhorant. This country has some major issues it needs to fix.
YUP!!!! TRUST ME,,, ITS DEFINITELY BEING DONE!!!!AS WE SPEAK!!!!!!I GUARANTEE IT!!!!!
Aoc lol
Leslie seemed to try to justify giving MTG a platform by saying disparaging things. Nothing really “stuck” but the free publicity part. Press has to stop slumming for ratings. They are OVER 50% of the problem.
She absolutely did not!! You’re not very observant or smart.
How in the hell is America not embarrassed?
Some small district in Georgia is to blame for this nonsense
@Steve Stoll you are TROLLING.
The sane and reasonable Americans are embarrassed
@Steve Stoll an independent view from outside the USA would find your assessment odd.
I keep asking myself this
Glad I saw this. The couple of minutes of this 60 Minutes interview I watched last night gave me the impression that Stahl was going easy on MTG and I turned it off. I wish she had been tougher but at least there was some pushback.
Given MTG’s level of influence, I think it was entirely appropriate to invite her on and let her talk. She never fails to reveal her true self.
Real journalists need to do their jobs and expose the extremists for what they are, before it’s too late.
@@PrettyPink🌸
Of course Stahl isn’t a judge…she’s a journalist. Her job is to ask hard questions and get serious answers. MTG went for idiotic sound bites that appeal to the emotions of the maga base.
Stahl’s obvious distaste for MTG is clear. And understandable. But she still didn’t follow up and get data based support from Marj for her assertions.
Stahl allowed her to get away with the usual inflammatory nonsense.
I expect MTG to behave this way, but I expected better from 60 Minutes.
@Gabe Johanns
Thanks for the heads up. It was wishful thinking on my part. I really wanted the 60 Minutes team to do their jobs. Instead we have big media maintaining the status quo to make a few extra $$$. 😖
@december’s child Good god! You go and ask MTG those supposed “hard” questions. Who cares!!!
@@PrettyPink🌸 Typical response. Sadly.
@december’s child Ooooo, you’re so clever!!! Dopey!
honestly that interviewer was too nice and didn’t ask the right questions. why do 99% reporters suck at their job.
Hey they ask Biden what his favorite flavor of ice cream
Jon Stewart to the rescue! Or Jordan Klepper
She is a walking contradiction to her old self. She says these outlandish things on her Twitter account, but then say you can’t believe everything she says on her Twitter account at the same time, saying that other people have access to her Twitter account and somethings, she may say, or may not say. She doesn’t want to be held accountable for anything that comes out her mouth I wanna rip any rewards that may come from any position that she may throw up in the air and pick at the moment whenever it suits.
As a Canadian I feel sorry for Americans having someone like MTG in power. ❤ GOD Bless Everyone
The most shocking thing I learned from that interview is that Marjorie Taylor Greene went to college.
Leslie’s reactions are priceless — her crazy needs to be known. Some people still dont know the danger she poses. She buried herself the more she speaks.
