The daytime talk show The View has confirmed that former Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene will make a return appearance this week, following her highly contentious visit to the programme in November.
Scheduled Appearance and Panel Line-Up
The controversial politician, aged 51, is scheduled to join the live panel on Wednesday, January 7. She will sit alongside the show's regular hosts, including Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin. This booking comes just weeks after her last headline-grabbing turn on the ABC network programme.
Context of Greene's Dramatic Exit from Congress
Greene's latest television booking follows her sensational decision to quit Congress at the end of November. Her departure came after a dramatic and public fallout with her longtime ally, former President Donald Trump. The timing links her media profile directly to the seismic shifts within the Republican political landscape.
Fierce Audience Backlash on Social Media
The announcement of Greene's return has been met with significant criticism from a segment of The View's dedicated audience. Many fans have taken to social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, to implore producers to reconsider giving her a platform.
One frustrated viewer posted: 'You fall for this every time. She hasn't changed. Stop normalizing horrible people.' The sentiment reflects a concern that the show is legitimising figures viewed as extreme.
Another comment slammed the perceived reverence shown to Greene, stating: 'So um, I'm gonna need The View to stop treating Marjorie Taylor Greene like she's suddenly Queen Elizabeth II. I don't care that she's speaking out against Trump now... she's still a SNAKE and part of why we're in this mess!'
A third user simply questioned the editorial decision, asking: 'Why do we need to hear from Marjorie Taylor Greene AGAIN tomorrow?' This backlash highlights the delicate balance talk shows must strike between generating provocative discussion and alienating their core viewership.
The repeated invitation to Marjorie Taylor Greene underscores The View's continued strategy of hosting figures from across the political spectrum, regardless of the controversy they attract. The reaction from fans suggests this approach carries a tangible risk, potentially undermining the show's relationship with its audience in pursuit of ratings and viral moments.
