She denied her grossly offensive comments about Democrats, about whom she used tortured and twisted logic to malign as pedophiles. She refuted her prior statements approving of shooting Nancy Pelosi. She pretended that she had nothing to do with posts on her Twitter account asserting that the mass shooting at the Parkland school was a <em>&#8220;false flag&#8221;<\/em> operation by gun safety advocates. That&#8217;s not the first time that she made that charge.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=53649\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> She said the same thing about the mass shooting in Las Vegas<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>All of these, as well as many other disgusting sentiments, were well documented and a few were displayed on screen as Greene issued her denials. And anyone who has been paying attention knows the depths to which Greene&#8217;s extremism descends.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56389\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marjorie Taylor Greene Floats Fascist Proposal for Red States to Prohibit Democrats From Voting<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Green&#8217;s interview was not widely disseminated. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.showbiz411.com\/2023\/04\/03\/ratings-60-minutes-with-marjorie-taylor-greene-down-33-from-last-week-2nd-lowest-episode-of-this-season\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nielsen ratings<\/a><\/strong> for 60 Minutes Sunday night were the second lowest for the season to date. And this episode was 33% lower than last weeks episode. Greene was the headliner for the program and, thus, is entitled to full credit for its failure.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently America wasn&#8217;t interested in tuning in to her bullpucky. Perhaps fittingly, Nielsen reported that 6.66 million people watched the show. That&#8217;s an audience figure that should please the demonic demographic within the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>It was irresponsible for CBS to give Greene a virtually unchallenged platform to advance her crackpot conspiracy theories. Stahl should make a point of following up the interview with a fact check and rebuttal on next week&#8217;s program. That probably won&#8217;t happen. But at least we can be encouraged by the low interest of American TV viewers in Greene&#8217;s gibberish and lies. Hopefully the only thing that people remember from this interview is how nuts the GOP has become to elevate someone like Greene.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56427\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RAGING HYPOCRITE Marjorie Taylor Greene Whines About Respecting Others With Different Views<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=55711\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Marjorie Taylor Greene: The GOP Will Govern Like the Mafia\u2019s 5 Families in \u2018The Godfather\u2019<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=54959\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fascista Marjorie Taylor Greene: If I was Speaker of the House I Would Reign with an Iron Fist<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=52521\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Comedy Cop Marjorie Taylor Greene Reports Jimmy Kimmel to Capitol Police for Telling a Joke<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">About a minute in, Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she never said Parkland was a false flag and gets fact checked.
