MTG: “Democrats Are A Party Of Pedophiles” [Video]

The Daily Beast reports:

To open the 60 Minutes interview, which was filmed prior to Donald Trump’s indictment, Stahl told Greene: “We looked up some words that have been said about you… Crazy, Q-clown, Looney Tune, unhinged, moron. Pretty ugly stuff.” Then the congresswoman took the opportunity to double down on some of her own verbal taunts.

When Stahl prompted her on a prior claim that “the Democrats are a party of pedophiles,” Greene hastened to confirm the baseless assertion.

“I would definitely say so,” she said. “They support grooming children. Democrats support, even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries,” Greene spewed, invoking an alt-right applause line that has been repeatedly debunked. “Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children.”

Read the full article. 60 Minutes and CBS have been under intense criticism for days since news of the interview first surfaced.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says she stands by some of her unfounded, polarizing claims, like Democrats are “a party of pedophiles” and the 2020 election was stolen. https://t.co/33pUe30EDl pic.twitter.com/lYHaNKMYJN

About a minute in, Marjorie Taylor Greene claims she never said Parkland was a false flag and gets fact checked. A post of hers is shown on the screen while she is denying it pic.twitter.com/pRfkO4f4kj

I’m disgusted. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s 60 Minutes interview was replete with lies. She offered the same, dangerous nonsense as always & it was sickening. We should all be outraged that she was given a national platform by CBS to do this. Unforgivable on every level.

This is a hot take but I’m glad 60 minutes gave Marjorie Taylor Greene airtime. It’s important to interview one of the main leaders of the Republican Party so the American people know everything and I mean everything they support. Including denying school shootings.

I’m sorry to report that Stahl did not ask her about this on @60Minutes, but we did get some nice footage of MTG pumping iron and walking with Stahl through the Capitol that she would have attacked. https://t.co/n7xKKwD0an
