In a Monday morning Truth Social rant, President Donald Trump rails at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) following her "60 Minutes" interview with Lesley Stahl, demanding an apology from CBS for giving her a platform.
"The only reason Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown (Green turns Brown under stress!) went BAD is that she was JILTED by the President of the United States (Certainly not the first time she has been jilted," Trump said.
In the interview, Greene doubled down on her criticism of Trump, saying that his policies were not genuinely "America First". She also claimed that Trump became "extremely angry" with her for signing a petition to release the files related to deceased convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
"Too much work, not enough time, and her ideas are, NOW, really BAD — She sort of reminds me of a Rotten Apple! Marjorie is not AMERICA FIRST or MAGA, because nobody could have changed her views so fast, and her new views are those of a very dumb person," Trump continued.
Trump sued CBS News, its parent company Paramount and "60 Minutes" veteran journalist Stahl for $20 billion over the editing of the news magazine's interview with Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Stahl has expressed anger at the situation, predicting accurately that Paramount would settle with Trump to facilitate a corporate merger that would compromise the show's journalistic integrity.
In his rant, Trump says that "washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes 'correspondent,' Lesley Stahl, who still owes me an apology from when she attacked me on the show (with serious conviction!), that Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP FROM HELL was produced by Russia, not Hunter himself (TOTALLY PROVEN WRONG!), interviewed a very poorly prepared Traitor, who in her confusion made many really stupid statements."
David Ellison, whose father, Larry , is a Trump ally, acquired Paramount Global, the parent company of CBS, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures in an $8 billion acquisition which received FCC approval in July.
"My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air. THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE OLD OWNERSHIP, who just paid me millions of Dollars for FAKE REPORTING about your favorite President, ME!" Trump continues.
"Since they bought it, 60 Minutes has actually gotten WORSE! Oh well, far worse things can happen," he adds.
And while the lawsuits have been tossed and CBS News now has another Trump ally in charge in Bari Weiss, whose media company The Free Press was acquired by Paramount Skydance for $150 million, including a new position as head of CBS News in October — a move Trump praised — the president is still not happy.
"P.S. I hereby demand a complete and total APOLOGY, though far too late to be meaningful, from Lesley Stahl and 60 Minutes for her incorrect and Libelous statements about Hunter’s Laptop!!! President DJT," he concludes.
