Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) launched into a furious tirade against Fox News, asserting that the network is seeking to silence those on the right who disagree with its positions on critical issues.
Greene expressed her views during an interview on Steve Bannon’s War Room program on Friday.
Additionally, the two individuals attacked House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), with Greene persisting in her endeavor to remove him from office.
The Georgia congressman levied allegations against Fox News, contending that the network disregarded her motion to vacate in its coverage. Both she and Bannon agreed that Fox should have transitioned to the news during The Five immediately.
Additionally, Greene criticized Fox for severing ties with Tucker Carlson.
“So you got to remember Fox News that literally fired Tucker Carlson, the number one cable TV news host in the nation. Tucker, who was basically the voice of everyone, that’s the Fox News that refused to cover me calling the motion to vacate.The Five never switched gears, they never changed, never went to anything different. 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 declared.
“They want to make viewers, their viewers think that we have to fight for Ukraine, that we have to stop Putin because he’s gonna steamroll across Europe just like Hitler did even though there’s no evidence of showing that. The same Fox News refuses to say, hey, let’s call for peace. Peace for these people in Ukraine instead of wiping out an entire generation of Ukrainians. Think about that.” she continued.
“This is the same Fox News that wants to infuriate you every single day while Republicans go down to the border, drag out the podium once again, point it, oh, look. Look. They’re crossing the border. Oh my goodness. Oh my. But, yeah, Republicans don’t do a damn thing to actually stop it. Nothing.” she added.
Greene went on, laying into the network even more.
“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 concluded.
