The interview aired on Sunday (7). Stahl questioned the congresswoman about her heated remarks directed at the press and colleagues.
“It is the most toxic political culture. And it’s not helping the American people,” said Marjorie Taylor Greene, to which Stahl replied: “But you contributed to this. You were there hitting hard, insulting people.”
The two continued the tense exchange. “Yes, you are being accusatory, exactly like you just did now,” said the Republican. Stahl said: “I know you’re accusing me,” raising her eyebrows, “but I’m smiling.”
“You’re accusing me,” Greene said, which Stahl confirmed by replying: “I’m accusing you.”
When asked how Republicans feel about Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene stated that some of her party colleagues were “terrified of stepping out of line and receiving a nasty post on Truth Social.”

The congresswoman herself also clashed with the president over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The day after the interview, Donald Trump went on his Truth Social profile and said he did not like Marjorie Taylor Greene’s interview. Trump referred to the congresswoman’s work as “bad.”
“Marjorie is not America First or MAGA, because no one could have changed their opinions so quickly, and her new opinions are those of a very stupid person,” he continued.
He also demanded that CBS News issue an apology for the interview.
