Marjorie Taylor Greene’s highly anticipated appearance on The View had a surprisingly peaceful ending.
“A lot of people wanted me to come on the show and say nasty things, and they wanted all of us to fight,” Greene, 51, said on the Tuesday, November 4, episode of ABC’s hit daytime talk show. “I didn’t want to do that today because I believe people with powerful voices like myself and like you — and especially women to women — we need to pave a new path.”
While sitting down with hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin, Greene explained how it will likely be women who find a way to make America even stronger.
“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,” she continued. “I think that happens through free speech.”
Before appearing on The View, the United States representative for Georgia’s 14th congressional district said via X that she faced criticism from “pathetic Republican men” for agreeing to go on the talk show.
Although Behar, 83, jokingly asked for names, Greene expressed her belief that “there’s a lot of paid social media influencers” online who post for the sole purposes of sewing division.
“I found it very interesting that they were the ‘MAGA accounts’ but they’re all paid and they all attacked me when I announced I was coming to join you ladies on The View,” she claimed. “I think that’s very weak and pathetic. When I talk about weak Republican men, I’m pretty much talking oftentimes about the leadership in the House and the Senate, and they’re not getting our agenda done.”

When asked if House Speaker Mike Johnson should come on The View, Greene replied, “Absolutely, I think Mike Johnson should come on this show.” The cohosts added that the congressman from Louisiana has a standing open invitation.
During her appearance on the talk show, Greene answered questions about the alleged Jeffrey Epstein files. She also discussed the ongoing government shutdown.
(The government has been shut down for 35 days at the time of publication — tying the record for the longest-ever shutdown of the federal government in the nation’s history. Government workers, including air traffic controllers, are furloughed or working without pay as social programs, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, are in jeopardy.)
While Greene has been outspoken (and critical) about her own Republican party amid the shutdown, she assured viewers that her political affiliation has not changed.
“Everyone’s like ‘Marjorie Taylor Greene has changed.’ Nothing has changed about me,” she declared. “I am staying absolutely 100 percent true to the people that voted for me, and true to my district.”
Before her appearance came to an end, Greene seemingly acknowledged that her time on The View wasn’t filled with drama or fights. Instead, she was grateful to have an experience that Americans can have when discussing political issues within their own communities.
“I think that all of us right here are doing a great job of exchanging our ideas and things that we believe in, and we’re doing it in a very professional and kind way,” she said. “In my opinion, I think we need more of that in America. I really do.”
The White House is not enjoying the viewpoints of some past and present cohosts of The View. “Rosie O’Donnell and ‘Joyless’ Behar are irrelevant losers with too much time on their hands, whining about a failing talk show while everyday Americans are working hard,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to Entertainment […]
Before going to commercial break, Goldberg expressed gratitude to Greene for traveling to New York.
“Thank you for coming on with us,” she said. “We appreciate it.”
The View airs weekdays on ABC at 11 a.m. ET/ 10 a.m. PT. Episodes are available to stream on Hulu.
