CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

“60 Minutes” has drawn criticism from journalists and other public figures for its sit-down interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which aired on Sunday evening. In the interview, Greene asserted that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles,” saying, “They support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.”

Former Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger called it “insane” that the program would air an interview with a figure like Greene. The Atlantic contributor Jemele Hill criticized the framing of the social media promotion as “shit” and stated that “60 Minutes” was “platforming stupid.” Many other journalists, political figures and celebrities chimed in with their own criticism, responding to the tweet by “60 Minutes.”
