“The View” co-hosts ranted about “60 Minutes” interviewing Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene during Monday’s panel.

The program held an exclusive interview with Greene on a Sunday night special with interviewer Leslie Stahl, sparking backlash from several political and media figures. The co-hosts seemingly disapproved of the interview after the representative defended her remarks about Democrats being “pedophiles” for supporting drag queen story hour and transgender procedures.

“I actually in this instance think it was a bad move for ’60 Minutes,” co-host Sara Haines said. “Let me just clarify one thing from that soundbite. There are people that say if you’re not a gun owner, you talk about guns, you sound dumb. She sounds really dumb veering into LGBTQ+ because gender-affirming procedures are not about sexuality or sexual orientation. It’s about gender. So the fact that she doesn’t even know the difference, she probably shouldn’t speak to it at all because it’s insulting to everyone involved.”

WATCH:

Greene said that Democrats support “sexualizing children” and named sex-change operations as an example during the interview. President Joe Biden’s administration and several blue states have come out in support of giving children and minors sex-change operations and puberty blockers, as well as presenting pornographic books in some libraries and allowing drag queens to perform and read stories on gender fluidity in front of young children.

Haines said Greene won in a “small Republican district” and lost 60,000 votes, yet has a major voice. Co-host Ana Navarro said the “respected” program violated its reputation by airing Greene.

Navarro blamed House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for making Greene “far more relevant” by appointing her to committees. Greene won over McCarthy’s vote by being appointed to the Committee on Homeland Security.

Co-host Sunny Hostin came to the program’s defense since she thought Greene “looked like an idiot.”

“I don’t have a problem with her having that platform because I thought she looked like an idiot,” Hostin said. “And I think a lot of people got to, as per my argument of cameras in the courtroom, let us see what you have to say. And I hate to do this because I think Leslie Stahl is such a great journalist. I wanted statistics and push backs. ‘Well, why do you say that? Who have you heard say that?’ What about the statistics? What about that? You know Leslie always has the receipts, where were they? Where were the receipts and they weren’t anywhere and it was very frustrating.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said the media gives a voice to the partisan members of Congress who lack legislative power. She then criticized Stahl for not pushing back enough against the representative.

Co-host Whoopi Goldberg lamented against Greene for saying she wants to protect children while wanting armed security in schools and for suggesting former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi be hung for treason.

“This is the nature of people making decisions for your life and it might be a very small area, but it’s a very dumb move,” Goldberg said. “We have people on these committees who have no brain power and the capacity to continue to ignore any facts or pushback. She doesn’t care about the pushback on her, she’s one of those people who’s just gonna do what she does and you don’t have to watch it and I did not. So goodnight, Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
