In a controversial interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, QAnon Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Democrats “the party of pedophiles” among other things with little push-back from Stahl.

Via The Daily Beast:

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.”

Many on social media felt giving Taylor the 60 Minutes treatment was a bad idea because it could be seen as giving her a platform to spread her conspiracy theories, as well as normalizing racism and insurrection.

According to ShowBiz411, 60 Minute’s episode featuring MTG was the 2nd lowest-rated of the season.
