Dispatches from the wasteland

I stopped watching tee-vee over 20 years ago. I've seen no reason to regret that choice. Why is MTG treated with dignity on 60 minutes and not simply laughed out of the studio for the QAnon stooge that she is is?

"Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended calling Democrats “a party of pedophiles” in a widely panned “60 Minutes” segment Sunday, seemingly claiming that politicians who support children receiving gender-affirming care meets the definition of pedophilia.

"The MAGA-aligned conspiracy theory-enthusiast-turned congresswoman’s remarks came after CBS News’ Lesley Stahl asked Greene about her frequent “over-the-top” comments, including, specifically, saying that “Democrats are a party of pedophiles” in a 2022 interview.

“I would definitely say so,” Greene responded during the “60 Minutes” interview. “They support grooming children.”

“They are not pedophiles,” Stahl pushed back. “Why would you say that?”

“Democrats support — even Joe Biden the president himself — supports children being sexualized, having transgender surgeries,” Greene responded. “Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children.”

“Wow. OK,” Stahl said as she rolled her eyes, for some reason baffled by the Georgia Republicans’ response."

Feh.
