Marjorie Taylor Greene's second appearance on The View has provoked outrage among viewers, despite her earlier appearance having been well-received. The former Republican congresswoman for Georgia's 14th district appeared on the ABC talk show this week, two days after formally resigning from her House seat on 5 January.
During the interview, Greene addressed the death threats she and her son received from MAGA supporters, which she attributed to President Donald Trump's words. She also referenced Trump branding her a 'traitor' after she pushed for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, saying: 'When it comes down to the president that I helped get elected... having the President turn on me and calling me a traitor for standing with women who were raped as teenagers, and then having nobody in the party stand up for me, that was a high bar.'
On the subject of the 2021 Capitol riot, Greene said she no longer agrees with her previous claim that Antifa and Black Lives Matter were responsible. However, she insisted Trump did not incite the insurrection, arguing he told supporters to 'go peacefully and make your voices heard.'
Viewers expressed their displeasure on social media, with one Instagram user commenting: 'Please make this her last visit on the show.' Another wrote on X: 'WHY are you giving MTG, an Orwellian Right liar, a national platform? Just because she broke with Trump on a few issues does mean she’s still not rabid. SHAME on you.'
Many were unconvinced by her apparent transformation, with one observer stating: 'She’s the exact same person she always was. She just got done defending January 6th AGAIN.' Another added: 'Nothing has changed with her, except for Trump’s rejection.'
