Once upon a time, there was no bigger supporter of MAGA and Donald Trump than Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, until she and Trump turned on each other over his America First agenda, resulting in her resignation from Congress, and suddenly, the woman who the liberal media would regularly mock, became a sought after voice, who now fit their anti-Trump narrative. On CNN's The Situation Room on Monday, co-host Pamela Brown bizarrely seemed to seek Greene's approval after allowing her to bash Trump, Israel and Fox News unchallenged.
Brown began the interview with Greene, who had appeared on CNN as recently as last Friday, asking about how the Iran war fits with Trump's campaign promises, and if he can still be trusted.
GREENE: Why would an American president lead his political party into the midterms waging a full-scale major war completely unprovoked on Iran on behalf of Israel? And that's the way most Americans see it. They see this is for Israel, not for America.
Brown did not ask Greene to back up her claim. "So is that what you're hearing on the ground in Georgia, where obviously there are a lot of Trump supporters, where you are. Are you hearing from them that they believe President Trump is doing this on behalf of Israel?"
Greene then took a slap at Fox News and their "old" viewers.
GREENE: Many of the older Americans from the Baby Boomer generation that watch Fox News all day long very much believe the talking points on Fox News, and they have spent decades of their lives convinced that fighting these wars is the right thing to do.
Brown's final topic focused on media, as she chose to use the word threats to describe actual warnings.
BROWN: I want to ask you about President Trump praising his FCC Chair, Brendan Carr, who threatened the licenses of local broadcasters over war coverage. I know you have been critical in the past of networks like CNN, but you recently started joining programs like ours, as you became disillusioned with Congress and wanted to get your voice out. I wonder how your view of "mainstream media", quote, unquote, has evolved now that you have been engaging with them more, and what you think of the latest threats against the press.
GREENE: You know, I think freedom of press is one of the most important rights that we have as Americans, and I think it always needs to be protected....And I watch a lot of international news, and a lot of the things I see on the international news, I don't see on our American media.
And I find that to be extremely problematic. I think Americans are fed a lot of propaganda, depending on the political views of the media platform or the personalities or the presenters on the media platform. And I think that's wrong. I think Americans deserve to see the truth. They are smart enough to come to their own conclusions.
BROWN: Just really quickly, what have you seen in overseas coverage that you feel like is missing here in America from the press?
Guess what Greene would like to see more of on American TV?
GREENE: There's a lot more video of what's happening in Iran. There's a lot more video of what's happening in Lebanon, which is, what's happening in Lebanon is horrific. There was basically a genocide on Gaza, and Gaza was completely destroyed. And it's just wrong to tell Americans or make Americans think that every single Palestinian in Gaza was a member of Hamas.
I think, if we're not showing Americans what our tax dollars are being used for, and we send $3.8 billion to Israel, and if our money and our weaponry or any type of our ammunition are being used to murder innocent people, especially women and children, I think that is just outrageous that the American people aren't told that.
This is the type of coverage that I would like to see more of in the United States, because the American people deserve to know the truth.
And then in a pathetic display, Brown made what she should have considered to be an embarrassing admission. And Greene rewarded her.
BROWN: I can say, here in The Situation Room, Wolf (Blitzer) and I have been covered all -- have covered all of that extensively.
GREENE: Thank you, Pamela and thank you, Wolf. And I appreciate your coverage.
I bet she does,
