Stahl was shocked by Greene’s controversial comments.
During a 60 Minutes interview with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, host Lesley Stahl addressed her controversial remarks regarding the Democratic Party, grooming, and pedophilia.
“The Democrats are a party of pedophiles,” Stahl said, repeating one of many claims that Greene has made against them in her career.
“I would definitely say so. They support grooming children,” Greene shot back at Stahl.
“They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that?” Stahl pushed.
“Even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children,” Greene shot back.
From Fox News:
Stahl was seemingly taken aback by the far-right Republican’s claim. “Wow,” she said, pausing briefly and seemingly rolling her eyes.
There is no evidence that prominent Democrats molest children, but some Republicans like Greene have leveled the accusation that their views on such issues as drag shows and transgenderism equate to pedophilia.
Greene — who is one of the GOP’s most fiery personalities and has been nicknamed “MTG” by supporters and detractors alike — has often sparred with Republicans and Democrats. During the interview, she assailed figures like Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell, saying Republicans failing the American people was why she ran for office.
Watch the fiery exchange above.
