Overview
- Greene’s Jan. 7 appearance came two days after her Jan. 5 departure from the House, marking her first major interview since resigning.
- She said Trump’s public ‘traitor’ label over her push to force release of Jeffrey Epstein–related files and threats directed at her family drove her decision to step down, adding she was pressured to drop the effort and that she will not support Trump again.
- Pressed on Jan. 6, Greene said Trump did not plan or order the attack and said she no longer believes Antifa or Black Lives Matter were responsible, drawing laughter and groans from the studio audience.
- Greene said she issued a blanket apology for past rhetoric as Sunny Hostin challenged her on transphobic comments, declared she is not running for Senate, governor or president, and rejected calls to switch to the Democratic Party while declining to say if she will leave the GOP.
- The appearance followed Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s call for ‘grace’ for Greene coupled with criticism that quitting was ‘cowardly,’ as viewers and cohosts displayed skepticism about Greene’s motives and transformation.
