Buckle up, folks—Marjorie Taylor Greene is storming back to ABC's "The View" just days after she'll bid farewell to Congress.
Greene, the firebrand Republican from Georgia, is set to appear on the show on January 7, a mere two days after leaving her congressional seat, as part of an ongoing media blitz that’s raised eyebrows and sparked debate, Fox News reported.
This isn’t Greene’s first rodeo with the ladies of "The View"—she popped in last month and, surprisingly, kept things cordial. Even liberal host Joy Behar seemed taken aback by Greene’s sharp jabs at former President Donald Trump, tossing out a half-joking suggestion that she flip to the Democratic side. Well, that’s a plot twist no one saw coming.
Greene’s response to Behar was a firm no, thank you. "I’m not a Democrat. I think both parties have failed," she declared, doubling down on her frustration with the political machine (as cited on "The View").
Once a staunch Trump supporter, Greene has morphed into one of his loudest detractors over the past year. Her critiques have zeroed in on issues like the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, healthcare policies, and foreign policy missteps. It’s a stunning reversal for someone who once carried the MAGA banner with pride.
The tension with Trump isn’t just rhetoric—it’s personal. Days before Greene announced her exit from Congress, Trump yanked his endorsement, branding her with harsh words on social media. This public fallout has only fueled speculation about what’s really driving her departure.
Speaking of her exit, Greene didn’t hold back when she announced her decision to leave Washington. She pointed fingers at what she called a corrupt "Political Industrial Complex" that pits Americans against each other for power. It’s a bleak view of politics that many on the right might quietly nod to, even if they don’t say it out loud.
In her exit statement, Greene painted a grim picture of the system. "Americans are used by the Political Industrial Complex of both political parties, election cycle after election cycle, in order to elect whichever side can convince Americans to hate the other side more," she said (as cited in her exit announcement). That’s a gut punch to the establishment, and it’s hard to argue she’s entirely off base.
Her media tour kicked into high gear after this announcement, with a notable stop on "60 Minutes" last week—her first major interview since revealing her plans. Trump wasn’t thrilled, blasting the network and its ownership for giving her airtime. It’s clear the rift between them isn’t mending anytime soon.
Adding to the drama, whispers circulated that Trump discouraged Greene from eyeing a Senate run in Georgia, citing polls showing a likely loss to Sen. Jon Ossoff. Greene has flatly denied these claims, insisting her decisions are her own. Still, the rumor mill keeps churning, doesn’t it?
Her growing disillusionment with politics isn’t just about Trump—it’s about the whole game. She’s openly criticized both parties for failing the average American, a sentiment that resonates with many who feel left behind by Washington’s endless bickering.
Greene’s upcoming "The View" appearance is sure to stir the pot further. Will she double down on her critiques, or pivot to a new message now that she’s free from congressional constraints? One thing’s certain—expect fireworks.
As conservatives, it’s tough to watch a once-reliable voice for the movement break ranks, but Greene’s frustration with the system isn’t hard to understand. The political elite on both sides often seem more interested in power plays than in fixing real problems. Her exit feels like a protest as much as a retreat.
Yet, there’s a risk here—Greene’s sharp tongue could alienate allies who still see Trump as the standard-bearer for conservative values. Her critiques are bold, but they might leave her without a clear base of support. Where does she go from here?
Whatever happens on January 7, Greene’s return to "The View" will be a moment to watch. She’s a lightning rod, no doubt, but her willingness to call out flaws in the system—even if it’s messy—might just strike a chord with Americans tired of the status quo. Let’s see if she can channel that frustration into something constructive.
