Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene walked out of a Wednesday interview with 11Alive as “The Georgia Vote” co-anchor Zach Merchant pressed her on her past political rhetoric.
Greene, who announced her upcoming Jan. 5 resignation on Nov. 21 after President Donald Trump called her a “traitor,” has labeled Republicans she opposed “traitors” in recent years. She expressed irritation with Merchant as he repeatedly questioned her on her inflammatory rhetoric.

“You have said in this interview in so many words, and you’ve said in other interviews … you want to move past what you called the toxic politics of our modern system,” Merchant said. “You yourself have a history of making sometimes controversial comments. Looking back, do you feel like you have anything personally to apologize for and possibly contributing to that discourse?”
“This seems to be the popular question from everyone that is interviewing me, and I’ve very much already addressed that. I don’t think it has to be said over and over again in every single interview I do, but I’m sincere in my words,” Greene said. “I think that America has been ripped apart by both sides of the aisle with toxic politics … not only have I been a part of it, every Republican has and every Democrat has. I’ve also been a victim of it just as many others have been.”
