For some reason, this Sunday’s “60 Minutes” will feature a lengthy interview with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, the QAnon subscriber who has often expressed racist, antisemitic and homophobic rhetoric and alt-right conspiracy theories in a way that sounds ridiculous. And excessive will feel both. Dangerous.
Leslie Stahl, America’s favorite prickly grandma (who we all loved seeing in “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On”) conducted the interview, which was publicized via a tone-deaf tweet that said Georgia Republicans “aren’t afraid to share their opinions”, no matter how loud and in front of you.
And people are giving appropriate answers on the tweet.
Author, journalist and big-time sneakerhead Ross Bengtsson wrote, “Delete your TV show,” along with actor Paul Tefler’s tweet, “Pow boy, how low have you sunk here.”
Sound founder/publisher Alex Young tweeted, “Lmao what the f— is wrong with you guys?” Economist David Rothschild asked a similar question: “Why are you normalizing and sanitizing blatant racism and antisemitism for America?”
This, we must all remember, is a woman who has questioned whether 9/11 happened, defended the events of January 6th, questioned Barack Obama’s ethnicity, and suggested that Hillary Clinton killed John F. Kennedy Jr. did because they were both up for the same New York Senate seat, which was something told While replying to this tweet.
Ben Collins, an NBC reporter, reported that MTG (as she is often known) referred to one of the survivors of the Parkland school shooting as “Little Hitler”. (She’s pure class.) Luke Zalesky, a research director at GQ, also put it well: “Marge is a Confederate soldier, not an American public servant. She has taken over Congress and is burning the country from the inside.” wants to destroy. She admits it. Her public agenda is to reinstate a criminal traitor that she is obstructing justice and tearing down the United States of America.
Someone react That she wasn’t even born in Georgia… she’s just into bigotry.
David Zirin, a sports editor for The Nation, perhaps put it best when he said: “60 Minutes lost its bite a long time ago. But infomercials for fascists are a bridge too far.”
“60 Minutes” airs this Sunday, just in case you need to know when not to have your TV around.
