MTG Appears On ‘The View’

MTG Appears On ‘The View’

It was a strange sight, but not a surprising one. On Election Day, The View — long known for its reliably leftward tilt — did something it hadn’t done in over a year: it hosted a Republican. But not just any Republican. They rolled out the red carpet for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a figure they’ve spent the last several years mocking, demonizing, and labeling as an extremist. So what changed?

Simple: Greene is currently more of a thorn in the side of the GOP leadership than she is a problem for the Democrats. And The View’s hosts couldn’t get enough of it.


From the start, the tone was unmistakably friendly — even admiring. Joy Behar joked that Greene was taking over their job of “slamming Republicans,” and the rest of the segment followed that strange, Twilight Zone logic. At one point, they seriously encouraged her to consider switching parties. Yes, the same panel that once declared her a danger to democracy now sees her as a potential ally — because she’s turned her fire inward at the GOP.

And Greene played along — in a way. She stuck to the usual populist script, throwing out the “both parties are broken” line, a convenient umbrella when you’re too busy attacking your own side to address what the other side is doing. Because make no mistake: it’s not Republicans pushing to tack on $1.5 trillion in left-wing goodies, like free healthcare for illegal immigrants or bloated NPR budgets. That’s a Democrat wishlist. Yet Greene spent more time targeting GOP leadership than calling out the people responsible for the shutdown chaos.


This is the problem with spectacle politics: it elevates noise over clarity. Instead of using her time on a major network to underscore the Democrats’ reckless spending proposals, Greene used it to inflame divisions within her own conference — and The View lapped it up.

Yes, the Obamacare subsidies are on the line. Yes, government funding is in limbo. And yes, Democrats are using the opportunity to shoehorn in progressive priorities that have nothing to do with fiscal responsibility. But none of that got real airtime.


Instead, The View ran a PR campaign — not for Greene’s ideas, but for the idea of her disrupting her own party. The irony is thick: the left now cheers on Greene not because they agree with her, but because they think she weakens the very coalition trying to stop their spending spree.
