Trump demands apology from CBS in FURIOUS tantrum about MTG after she humiliates him on 60 Minutes!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, the once-fervent MAGA loyalist who turned her back on Trump over his refusal to release the Epstein files, sat down with 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl to discuss her defection from the Trumper ranks, and she did not hold back.
MTG said that it would "shock" people to know what Republicans really say about Trump behind his back and hammered them for being spineless cowards, saying "I’ve watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks, making fun of me constantly for supporting him — to when he won the primary in 2024. They all started — excuse my language, Lesley — kissing his ass and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time."
This, of course, prompted a nuclear meltdown from Trump, who took to Truth Social to demand CBS News apologize to him and smeared MTG as a "traitor:"
"The only reason Marjorie "Traitor" Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted!). Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD - She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person."
"That was proven last night when washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes "correspondent," Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements."
"My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME! Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen. P.S. I hereby demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter’s Laptop!!! President DJT"
It will be interesting to see if he gets his apology from CBS, which has up to this point fallen over itself to accommodate Donald Trump and the right-wing agenda, even hiring right-wing extremist Bari Weiss to run CBS News.
But this is just another sign that Trump has no intention of rolling back his authoritarian attacks on the media. He’s trying to bully his way into creating a world that reflects his every whim and desire, and we cannot allow him to succeed.
