Marjorie Taylor Greene Appears on Fox News Just Two Days After Bizarre Tirade Accusing Network of Wanting to ‘Murder Tucker Carlson’
Earlier, we covered a portion of an interview between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo. The Georgia congresswoman’s appearance on the network was particularly notable in that it came just two days after a bizarre tirade in which she brutally attacked the network.
In an interview Friday on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, Greene sounded off about the network — accusing it of ignoring her motion to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA).
“So you got to remember Fox News that literally fired Tucker Carlson, the number one cable TV news host in the nation,” Greene said. Tucker, who was basically the voice of everyone, that’s the Fox News that refused to cover me calling the motion to vacate.”
Greene went on to falsely claim Wednesday’s edition of The Five did not cut in to show viewers the motion to vacate. (They cut in twice.)
“Fox News wants to control what Republican voters think and the control and the information that they give you is the establishment Republican Party view,” Greene said.
The Georgia congresswoman then floated an outrageous claim that Fox News wants to “murder” Tucker Carlson.
“Fox News wants to make sure, make sure that you guys don’t have your own opinion, that you only have the opinion that Fox News tells you to have, and that’s why Fox News attacks Steve Bannon,” she said. “That’s why Fox News attacks Charlie Kirk, and that’s why Fox News would love to murder Tucker Carlson, and that’s the reality. And that’s why Fox News is losing viewers because I think you guys are smart. The American people are too smart and you’re tired of being fed outrage TV – outrage TV and watching and voting and donating to Republicans that don’t do a damn thing about it.”
Greene’s claim that the Fox News is “losing viewers” flies in the face of recent data which shows the network dominated its competition in the first quarter of 2024. And sure enough, 48 hours later, Greene was back on Fox’s air — speaking with Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures. The Fox News anchor confronted her at several points during the interview.
“You say you’re supporting President Trump, but is now the time for this disruption, six months before the election, to fight to get a new speaker in place?” Bartiromo asked.
Greene responded by claiming her failed ouster of Johnson “exposed the ‘uniparty’ like it’s never been seen before.”
