Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) was challenged by the co-hosts of "The View" on Wednesday after about whether she'll ever apologize to the the Democratic lawmakers she bullied.
The question, which came from co-host Sunny Hostin, drew applause from the audience.
Before Greene was elected, she filmed herself yelling and taunting Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez through the mail slot in her door. Hostin also pointed out that Greene attacked the daughter of Rep. Marie Newman (D-Ill.), who is transgender. Newman expressed her support for the transgender community in 2021, drawing the attacks from Greene.
“Our neighbor, [Greene], tried to block the Equality Act because she believes prohibiting discrimination against trans Americans is ‘disgusting, immoral, and evil,’” Newman said in a Twitter with a video of her hanging the flag. “Thought we’d put up our Transgender flag so she can look at it every time she opens her door.”
Greene responded by putting up a sign reading, “There are TWO genders: Male & Female. Trust The Science!”
The congresswoman whose last day was Monday, said that one of the main reasons she wanted to step out of office was that her son began getting death threats. Hostin said given it was the threats on her son that bothered her if Greene would apologize for attacking the child of another member.
Greene said she made a "blanket apology."
Hostin then asked if Greene's 180-degree turn was a convenient opportunity to save a failing political career.
"Some wonder, like me, if your transformation is really about self-preservation, right? People are suspicious that you're distancing yourself from [President Donald] Trump to save your own political brand because perhaps you aspiration to be a senator or a governor," Hostin said.
Greene said she's done with being a politician for now and has no intention to run for anything, instead she wants to focus on policy issues that are "America First" such as the housing crisis.
Co-host Joy Behar asked why she doesn't become a Democrat since it's Democrats fighting for affordability problems.
"Everything you are saying are on the Democratic platform. Democrats fight for those things but Republicans do not," said Behar.
Greene retorted saying both parties put the U.S. nearly $40 trillion in debt and that she doesn't support the border invasion.
After the commercial break, they began talking about the investigation files around sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Greene told the hosts that Trump called her to say that his "friends" will get hurt if the files are released. Greene said it bothered her "deeply."
The White House went further, pressuring Greene to remove her name from the discharge petition that would mandate the files be released in their entirety by Dec. 19. Thus far, the Justice Department has only released about 1 percent of the files, reports this week revealed.
"I don't know who the friends are and I can't understand why anyone would protect their friends," she said with air quotes, "or protect any people that were guilty of abusing, trafficking, raping these girls."
"That's what led to him [Trump] calling me a trader," Greene said.
Whoopi Goldberg said that despite Greene being shocked by the information, she's not surprised given Trump is a man "who does not have a very good reputation with women."
"I agree with you there," said Greene. "Not only does he not have a good reputation with women, I would argue the Republican Party has a woman problem as well argue the Republican Party has a woman problem as well. And you can ask us Republicans -- we Republican women that have served I House, we have been vocal that. There's quite a few others."
