On The View, Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar disagreed over Marjorie Taylor Greene’s criticism of Donald Trump and whether Greene’s change in tone was sincere. Goldberg credited concern for constituents, while Behar suggested political ambition.
The hosts discussed Greene’s recent CNN interview, in which she called Trump’s response to Rob Reiner’s death “classless.” Goldberg described Greene’s criticism as a possible change prompted by concern for constituents; Behar suggested Greene may be motivated by ambition and a desire to run for office again. Greene had announced she would resign from Congress on Jan. 5.
Behar remained skeptical, while Goldberg and the other cohosts pushed back on the idea that Greene was running for something. The article also recalls Greene’s earlier appearance on the show, when she praised the hosts’ professionalism and called for women with powerful voices to “pave a new path” forward.
