‘People Don’t Change’: The View’s Sunny Hostin Calls Out Marjorie Taylor Greene After Her Friendly Appearance on Show

The View’s Sunny Hostin called out Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shortly after the latter’s appearance on the show, accusing her of “behaving differently” to feed her political ambitions for “higher office.”

Hostin and Sara Haines both joined The View’s companion podcast Behind the Table on Wednesday, not long after the MAGA Republican made her appearance on the show. Greene’s appearance came as she has grown more critical of her own party and their policy priorities amidst the government shutdown.

Greene had a surprisingly friendly visit to The View where she and other supporters of President Donald Trump are often the target of plenty of criticism. Hostin, however, said she doubts Greene has “changed” from the vocal MAGA figure they’ve known her as for so long.

“I don’t think she’s changed. I did ask her, ‘Are we seeing an evolution?’ And she specifically, I think, responded, ‘No, I’m the same person,'” Hostin said.

Hostin described Greene as “civil” on the show despite doing things Hostin described as “unbecoming” of a member of Congress. She chalked up Greene’s civility to her political ambitions.

“In my experience, people don’t change, but they may behave differently because they want something,” she said.

Hostin theorized Greene may be trying to soften her public image in order to run for Senate or another office.

“I think she aspires to higher office. Perhaps it’s the Senate. Perhaps it’s even the presidency. I don’t know. But I don’t know that we saw a different Marjorie Taylor Greene. I thought that we saw just someone behaving differently,” she said about the congresswoman.

Haines added that she respected the congresswoman coming on the show and displaying that people can have open and civil debates, but said it was a difficult interview to navigate with Greene surrounded by critics.

“The hard part with someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene is you don’t have to go back too far to push back on things,” she said.
