Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's exit from Congress has sparked a media frenzy, with her first interview since announcing her departure set to air on CBS News' "60 Minutes." The congresswoman will sit down with correspondent Lesley Stahl for the first time since her highly publicized feud with President Donald Trump and her criticisms of his administration.
Greene's decision to leave Congress has been attributed to her soured relationship with Trump, who had previously endorsed her but withdrew his support in recent days. However, Greene denies reports that she was discouraged from running for Senate in 2026 by the former president, calling them "lies."
In a statement announcing her departure, Greene cited her growing disillusionment with Washington politics and described herself as an outsider who never fit in with the establishment. She said she would be leaving Congress to "fight for the people of this country in a different way," emphasizing her commitment to putting America First and holding the Republican Party accountable for its promises.
Greene's exit from Congress has been seen as a significant development in the ongoing saga between Trump and his former allies. The two had previously enjoyed a close relationship, but their relationship soured in recent months when Greene was labeled a "traitor" by Trump over her criticism of the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
The interview with Stahl promises to be a tense one, given the history between the two women. In a previous appearance on "60 Minutes," Stahl had clashed with Greene over her claim that Democrats were the "party of pedophiles," an exchange that left many viewers stunned.
Greene's decision to leave Congress has been seen as a surprise by some, particularly given her close ties to Trump. However, she has maintained that she will continue to be an outspoken critic of her former allies and the establishment in Washington.

think gretchen greene is just trying to save face 
after getting embarrassed on national tv for those "pedophiles" claims... now she's making a big deal about being some kinda outsider who got fed up with washington 
newsflash: you were always seen as the crazy aunt of the rep party, gretchen 
and yeah, trump's support was probably just a blessing in disguise for her career 
and honestly dont get why she kept going with trump after all the controversy surrounding him 
. Her reasons for departure are pretty interesting, though. It's like she took a big step out of the Washington bubble to fight for what she believes in in a different way 
. I mean, it's not always easy to stick up for yourself and call out those in power, but at the same time, you can't just sit back and do nothing either 
. Greene's definitely making waves with her "America First" stance and taking on the Republican Party - will she be able to make a difference from outside of Congress? Only time will tell 
.
it's gonna be so juicy! I'm low-key excited to see what she'll say about Trump and their drama-filled past 
she seems like a complicated person, but that's what makes her story so intriguing 
I've been following her for ages, and this is definitely the biggest development in her career 
does anyone think she'll back down from speaking truth to power? 
. I mean, it's been a wild ride watching her feud with Trump go down, but now she gets to share her side of the story. Maybe we'll finally get some clarity on what really went down between them
