Though Lesley Stahl opened her controversial sit down with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Sunday reading back a string of insults to the congresswoman’s face, the momentum for a confrontational interview couldn’t quite be sustained.
In voiceover, Stahl went on to call Greene “smart and fearless,” and ended the segment by pondering the question of whether the secessionist, QAnon-adjacent lawmaker would be able to “expand her brash MTG brand beyond the right-wing populist base.”
To open the 60 Minutes interview, which was filmed prior to Donald Trump’s indictment, Stahl told Greene: “We looked up some words that have been said about you… Crazy, Q-clown, Looney Tune, unhinged, moron. Pretty ugly stuff.”
