Many noted that the network was minimizing the harm Greene inflicts on marginalized communities with her disgusting rhetoric. She isn’t “intense” or “in-your-face”—she’s a white supremacist. Critic and author Elie Mystal noted how by amplifying Greene, CBS is showing how complicit they are with her heinous agenda. Of course, the interview was just as bad as anticipated.

During her sit-down with Stahl, Greene called Democrats the “party of pedophiles.” She kept pushing this notion by saying “they support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” Greene also stated that even though Democrats call her racist and anti-Semitic, she’s just “calling out the truth.”

She still insists that the 2020 election was stolen even though her own party has admitted it wasn’t. And despite the fact that Greene willingly tells lies to anyone who’ll listen, “60 Minutes” categorized her behavior as “brazen gutsiness.” Greene took to Twitter to thank Stahl before the interview aired, though she spelled her name wrong.

“It was an honor to spend a few days with the legendary icon Leslie Stahl,” she said. “Leslie is a trailblazer for women in journalism. And while we may disagree on some issues, I respect her greatly.” This interview was nothing but a cheap ploy by CBS solely for ratings—there is no reason to boost someone as dangerous and abominable as Greene.

Hopefully, this is the last time they pull such a pathetic stunt.
