"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) recently shocked the country, not only with her resignation from Congress but also with a public apology for the inflammatory rhetoric for which she has become so well known. But in a recent interview with Lesley Stahl for 60 Minutes, Greene didn't seem fully ready to put down the knives. Greene called out the country's "toxic political culture," and Stahl responded by reminding Greene that she has long been a part of it."
"Stahl pushed back, asking Greene to "respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people, yelling at people," but Greene interrupted, declaring, "I'd like you to respond for that." Stahl said she doesn't insult people, but Greene doubled down, saying, "You do in the way you question. You're accusing me right now." Greene's response felt like a departure from her November statement on CNN, where she said, "I would like to say humbly, I'm sorry for taking part in the toxic politics.""
Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress and issued a public apology for inflammatory rhetoric. She subsequently criticized the country's toxic political culture and accused others of contributing to it. When challenged to account for insulting and yelling at people, she interrupted and asked the challenger to respond. She disputed claims that the challenger insulted people, saying the challenger accused her through questioning. The earlier apology emphasized humility and a desire to end toxic rhetoric, urged national unity, and called on President Trump to follow her example. Public reaction ranged from praise to skepticism about the sincerity of the change.
