What to Know
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been surprising people lately. People did not expect her to stand up to President Donald Trump. They also didn’t expect her to go on The View and act so … normal. And then, her resignation from Congress was even more surprising. Given all these recent changes, a lot of people have been wondering what’s next for her. According to insiders, it might be a role on daytime TV.
On Tuesday, November 4, Greene appeared as a guest on The View. Even the show’s co-hosts were surprised by her demeanor. Co-host Sunny Hostin even said this point-blank: “I’m sitting here just stumped, you know, because you are a very different person than I thought.” At the time, Greene argued that she hasn’t actually changed at all.
Because her appearance on the show went so well, ABC is reportedly considering her.
According to a report from ShuterScoop (per RadarOnline), ABC execs noticed how “steady” and “controlled” Greene appeared while on the show. It was certainly not what any of them expected.
Now, although ABC executives have not formally discussed a role for Greene on the show, they are reportedly thinking about her a lot differently.
One source said, “It felt like she came in with a plan. It was the closest thing to an audition we’ve ever seen from her.” Another insider said her appearance on The View “changed the entire conversation about her,” which means she could potentially do pretty well on daytime TV.
While on the show, she spoke out against ‘very rich and powerful men.’
At the time, the co-hosts brought up how she had “broken from the Republican Party on a number of issues.” One of those issues was the Epstein files. She explained why the issue matters so much to her. “It seems like very rich and powerful men are being protected,” she said at the time.
“And I will sign anybody’s resolution, and I’ll get on board with anyone’s wish to release those files, because this is about women, especially when they were teenagers, were victims of rape and sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, and according to the victims another, there’s a list of men that they haven’t released yet.”
And though she hadn’t yet resigned from Congress, she was clearly frustrated by how things were going. “I’m really tired of the pissing contest in Washington, D.C., between the men, I really am,” she said at the time. She called on “women of maturity” to fix it.
“Women to women, we need to pave a new path,” she said. “This country, our beautiful country, our red, white, and blue flag, is just being ripped to shreds, and I think it takes women of maturity to sew it back together.”
On Friday, November 21, she announced her plans to resign from Congress. In a lengthy statement explaining the decision, she wrote, “I have never valued power, titles, or attention in spite of all the wrong assumptions about me. I do not cling to those things because they are meaningless and empty traps that hold too many people in Washington. I believe in term limits and do not think Congress should be a lifelong career or an assisted living facility.”
