Greene also accused Democrats of supporting "grooming children." Her remarks were prompted when Stahl repeated a comment that Greene made in the past.
Stahl expressed surprise at Greene's claims, and asked her why she would make such a statement about Democrats. Greene went on to suggest that supporting drag shows and transgender surgeries for children was equivalent to sexualizing children, a practice that she said is what pedophiles do. "Even Joe Biden, the president himself, supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries. Sexualizing children is what pedophiles do to children," she added. “Wow,” Stahl responded with shock.
It should be noted that there is no evidence to support Greene's allegations against prominent Democrats, despite Republicans like Greene suggesting that their views on issues like drag shows and transgenderism equate to pedophilia.

Liberal commentator Elie Mystal wrote in a tweet, "The way you guys say her ‘nickname’ is MTG... as if it's a cute moniker bestowed by her besties... when her initials are just MTG and her ‘nicknames’ are ‘Marjorie Three Names’ and ‘Unfrozen Caveman Congresswoman’ just shows that you're here to launder her rep and complicit.”
Stahl and MTG touched on other comments from MTG regarding the Parkland school shooting, the debt ceiling and the Russia/Ukraine war.
