Marjorie Taylor Greene rips 'Pathetic Republican men' ahead of appearance on liberal talk show The View
Marjorie Taylor Greene has ripped into 'Pathetic Republican Men' ahead of her appearance on The View, adding that she refuses to 'remain seen but not heard.'
The left-leaning talkshow announced on Thursday that the outspoken conservative representative would be joining the panel for their Election Day broadcast on November 4.
Whoopi Goldberg, one of the panel's liberal hosts, broke the news, prompting swift backlash from both sides of the aisle as Greene continues her apparent pivot away from strict party lines.
In response to the scrutiny from within her own party, Greene wrote on X: 'There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher's show and The View.'
She shared a screenshot of her Liberty Score, a rating system conducted by the Conservative Review, a right-wing publication owned by Blaze Media.
Greene boasted that her score was a perfect 100 percent, with her last 23 votes leaning conservative and none leaning liberal.
'Here is my voting card and nothing has changed about me, I'm 1,000,000% America ONLY,' Greene continued.
'Sorry I'm not sorry I don't obey Republican men's demands that I, as a woman, don't remain seen but not heard.'

Greene has been vocal against the government shutdown and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson
'I don’t answer to weak Republicans or so-called ‘influencers’ on social media who think conservative women should just sit down and fall in line with the status quo. I’m not afraid to go anywhere and talk directly to the American people, whether it’s Bill Maher, The View, or even CNN,' Greene said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
'Let’s look at the life of Charlie Kirk. He spent his career actually engaging with people on the other side and having real conversations. That’s what I’m doing too, and that’s how we WIN.
Greene went on to say that she thought it was 'funny' that people who claim to be fighting for the America First agenda 'spend all day behind a screen attacking me.'
'For example, the account CatTurd posted 92 times in the last 24 hours and averages around 70 times a day,' the statement continued.
'I don’t see these folks attacking Fox News when they’re praising Democrat Senator John Fetterman or having him on their shows. There’s a clear double standard, and I’m not afraid to call it out.'
Greene's scheduled appearance on The View shocked some, as the talk show has recently been forced to dispel rumors that they don't invite conservative guests.
On October 14, host Joy Behar said that conservatives 'don't want to come' on the show and that they were 'scared' of the panelists.
'It's like Marjorie Taylor Greene says, that she finds the Republican men afraid of powerful women,' Behar said.
Goldberg offered rare praise for the congresswoman, announcing that she was 'happy' to host Greene on the show.
'I don't know how many things we agree on, but I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is [the shutdown] should not be affecting the American people,' Goldberg said.
Greene shared the announcement on her X account, adding: 'I look forward to joining the ladies on The View on Tuesday!'
This isn't the first time Greene has slammed the men in Congress, telling the Washington Post earlier this month: 'There's a lot of weak Republican men and they're more afraid of strong Republican women.
'So they always try to marginalize the strong Republican women that actually want to do something and actually want to achieve.'
Greene also blasted House Speaker Mike Johnson for not recruiting and promoting women to executive positions, unlike his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy.
The once-fringe conservative congresswoman has been a fierce critic of the Republican Party's efforts to avoid a government shutdown, demanding they go further to protect the American public.
She told the Post that she had pushed Johnson to abolish the filibuster threshold to end the shutdown with just Republican votes, but Johnson said they couldn't do it.
The shutdown has now lasted 31 days and is ongoing because Democrats are demanding Republicans include healthcare reform in any bill that will fund, and thereby reopen, the government.
'I demanded to know from Speaker [Mike] Johnson what the Republican plan for healthcare is to build the off-ramp off Obamacare and the ACA tax credits to make health insurance affordable for Americans,' Greene recently revealed.
Boasting close to seven million followers on X, the influential congresswoman has taken a unique position in urging for Republicans to muster up a plan to extend Affordable Care Act (ACA) tax subsidies before they expire at year's end.

Greene's recent remarks against her party even prompted the hosts of The View to call her the 'voice of reason'
GOP leadership in the House and the Senate maintain any negotiations on ACA (Obamacare) extensions will take place after the government is reopened.
Greene's outspoken nature against the government shutdown even generated praise from The View, with Alyssa Farah Griffin calling her the 'voice of reason.'
'It's a dark day when Marjorie Taylor Greene is the voice of reason, but you know what they say about a blind squirrel,' she said.
'They find a nut every now and then.'
Ana Navarro agreed: 'Frankly, we should invite her on.'
Greene is set to appear on Maher's HBO talk show on Friday before her appearance on The View next week.
