Marjorie Taylor Greene Set to Appear on The View After Co-Host Joy Behar Accused GOP of Being “Scared” to Go On

by

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is scheduled to be a guest on the talk show The View on Tuesday, November 4th, the same day as the U.S. general election.

This appearance follows a recent comment from co-host Joy Behar, who stated earlier this month that Republicans seem hesitant to join the show. Behar explained, “We’d like to have more Republicans on, but they don’t want to come on—they’re afraid of us.”

I’d like to have more Republican guests on the show, but they seem hesitant to appear – it’s like they’re afraid of being challenged.

When I was pitched to go on, they said no lol

During a discussion, Behar mentioned comments made by Congresswoman Greene, who had observed that ‘many Republican men are intimidated by assertive Republican women.’

Why This Matters

Greene’s scheduled appearance is significant for several reasons.

This adds a strong conservative voice to a prominent daytime television show during a particularly sensitive political time – on Election Day.

This issue also connects to the ongoing discussion about having a wider range of political viewpoints on The View. The show’s hosts have said they want to include more Republicans, but conservatives argue they aren’t actually being invited, or aren’t accepting when they are.

Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to be a controversial figure in American politics. First elected in 2020, she’s a strong supporter of Donald Trump and has a perfect 100% score from Conservative Review based on her voting history.

What the Show (and Whoopi) are Saying

On Thursday’s episode of The View, Whoopi Goldberg said that while Marjorie Taylor Greene’s political views are very different from those of the show’s hosts, she’s open to having the congresswoman as a guest anyway.

Goldberg announced that the guest will be arriving on Tuesday. While they may disagree on many issues, Goldberg emphasized that everyone at the table—including herself and the guest—agrees that the current shutdown shouldn’t harm everyday Americans.

Goldberg described the upcoming guest appearance as an opportunity for open discussion and a meeting of different opinions. However, conservative guests haven’t typically had easy experiences on The View. For example, Cheryl Hines came to discuss her book but ended up facing tough questions about her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., which many considered an unfair attack. Donald Trump Jr. also experienced a very confrontational interview during his visit.

Meghan McCain and Candace Cameron Bure, both known for their conservative viewpoints, have shared that they often felt ignored or silenced while working on the show.

Although Goldberg describes Greene’s planned visit as a simple conversation, past experiences suggest Republican guests frequently face a much more hostile environment than expected.

The Conservative Response

Conservatives have pushed back hard against the idea that they are avoiding the show out of fear.

Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer and advocate, shared on Twitter that she was initially asked to appear on a show but was then told it wouldn’t happen.

I’d like to have more Republicans as guests on the show, but they seem hesitant to appear – it’s like they’re afraid of challenging our perspectives.

When I was pitched to go on, they said no lol

So, Clay Travis, a well-known conservative voice, just dropped some emails showing his team actually offered to be on ‘The View’ back in July. He’s responding to Joy Behar’s claim that Republicans are dodging the show, and he’s pretty adamant that’s just not true – he says he’d be glad to come on as a guest. It seems like he’s calling out Behar and inviting himself onto the program to prove his point.

Hi Joy Behar, our producer Ali reached out to The View last July offering us as guests. We’re big fans and hope to be invited on the show soon!

Florida Congressman Byron Donalds publicly reiterated his willingness to appear on The View after previously offering to be a guest but not receiving an invitation.

Hey @TheView, my offer still stands.

I’m ready when you are!

It seems the real issue isn’t a reluctance to participate, but rather concerns about whether these opportunities are being presented and handled in a fair way.

Final Thoughts

Having Marjorie Taylor Greene on The View on Election Day could be a smart move for everyone involved. The show gets to look like it’s trying to include different viewpoints, especially at a crucial time. And Greene gets a chance to speak directly to a large audience and potentially counter the idea that Republicans shy away from liberal discussions.

It’s unclear if this will result in more conservative perspectives being featured on daytime television, or if it’s a singular event. However, the groundwork is laid, and all eyes are now on what happens next.
