The usual suspects took to Twitter to air their grievances after the controversial new darling of the America First movement was interviewed by CBS’ flagship news program. | Prominent liberal media personalities came crawling out of the woodwork Friday to denounce the CBS program 60 Minutes after the show’s Twitter account teased an upcoming interview with Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA). That decision didn’t sit well with a number of liberal critics, thousands of whom shared horrified responses following the Tweet. Arguably the most prominent figure to condemn the network was former GOP Congressman Adam Kinzinger, who posted, simply "Wow. Insane that 60 min would do this." Kinzinger was voted out of office in 2022 and has since been reduced to working as a political commentator for CNN. Greene has endured frequent attacks for views that are considered outlandish in the US, including her vocal criticisms of what she identifies as the Biden administration’s "proxy war with Russia." On Saturday, the controversial Congresswoman called for the charges facing Julian Assange be "dropped," writing on social media that "the United States of America must defend the 1st Amendment and protect freedom of the press," as it’s "one of the greatest freedoms any nation can have." As of publication, only one of Greene's liberal critics cited above had ever made a post on Twitter mentioning the Wikileaks editor who has been retroactively held as a political prisoner for over a decade.
