Watch: Marjorie Taylor Greene Turns Question Around on 'Accusatory' '60 Minutes' Interviewer

Even as she prepares to depart Capitol Hill, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is proving she hasn’t lost her willingness to confront the political establishment — including the media elites who have spent years trying to define her.

During a wide-ranging interview on CBS’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday, Greene sparred repeatedly with correspondent Lesley Stahl, who attempted to paint the Georgia conservative as a driver of the nation’s political “toxicity.” True to form, Greene refused to sit quietly while a legacy-media anchor took partisan swipes disguised as questions.

Stahl’s lead-in rehashed familiar talking points the corporate press uses to caricature Greene — from calling then-President Joe Biden a “liar” during his 2023 State of the Union address, to her clashes with Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett, to her CNN apology last year regarding the “toxic” political climate. The implication was clear: the interview was less an inquiry and more an ambush.

“But it became clear to us that she hasn’t entirely lost her appetite for combat,” Stahl narrated.

Yet if anything became “clear,” it was Stahl’s own relish for confrontation.

When Greene mentioned “toxic” behavior in politics, Stahl pounced.

“But you contributed to that. You! You were out there pounding, insulting people,” Stahl said.

Greene didn’t flinch. “Lesley, you’ve contributed to it as well … You’re accusatory, just like you did just then.”

That exchange set off a tense volley, with Stahl adopting the tone of a scolding schoolteacher:

“I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people, yelling at people, and then saying …”

“I’d like for you to respond for that,” Greene shot back.

“I don’t insult people,” Stahl insisted.

“You do, in the way you question,” Greene replied. “And you are, you’re accusing me right now.”

To viewers, the moment likely landed as a stalemate — although, given CBS’ selective editorial habits, it’s hard to know what wasn’t shown. What was shown, however, was classic Greene: unapologetic, unbowed, and unwilling to let establishment media define the narrative.

But the interview also revealed a notable shift in Greene’s relationship with President Donald Trump, who is currently serving his second term. Their once-close alliance has cooled in recent months, largely due to Greene’s willingness to break with many Republicans — including President Trump — over the release of documents tied to the late sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.

That dispute helped fuel the internal tensions that contributed to her unexpected announcement that she will resign from Congress in January.

On that point, Greene did not hesitate to call out Trump directly.

“I stood for women who were raped when they were 14 years old, and the president that I fought for for five years called me a traitor for that,” she told Stahl.

“And, so, that changed the landscape of things.”

With her departure nearing, Greene leaves Washington much the way she entered it — defiant, disruptive, and utterly unwilling to let the institutional powers of politics or media dictate her voice.
