Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) lashed out at some of her critics who have taken issue with her upcoming appearances on The View and Real Time with Bill Maher.
On Thursday, View co-host Whoopi Goldberg stunned her audience when she announced that Greene would be a guest on the show on Tuesday.
“I don’t know how many things we agree on,” Goldberg said amid the ongoing government shutdown. “But I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is this should not be affecting the American people.”
“I look forward to joining the ladies on The View on Tuesday!” Greene tweeted.
Greene will also appear on Real Time on Friday.
On Thursday evening, the lawmaker responded to some of her critics on X, who objected to the TV hits, given that the programs’ hosts are liberals:
There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher’s show and The View.
Here is my voting card and nothing has changed about me, I’m 1,000,000% America ONLY.Sorry I’m not sorry I don’t obey Republican men’s demands that I, as a woman, don’t remain seen but not heard.
The text was accompanied by a screenshot of her “A” voting grade by the Conservative Review.
Greene has been a vocal critic of her party’s lack of a plan to control rising healthcare costs. The current government shutdown began on Oct. 1, when the Senate failed to muster the 60 votes needed to overcome a procedural hurdle to advance a government funding bill. Democrats, who have 47 seats, are withholding the necessary seven votes until Republicans agree to extend healthcare premium subsidies for Obamacare recipients. However, the GOP has yet to budge.
Greene has long criticized Obamacare, but said she is alarmed by the dramatic out-of-pocket expenses that will kick in at the end of the year if Congress does not act.
“Democrats did this with Obamacare 15 yrs ago and Johnson says Republicans have a mystery plan that is yet to be revealed to fix it,” she posted on Wednesday. “But no one knows what it is and we’re told to stay home in our districts.”
