Dean Obeidallah: Giving Marjorie Taylor Greene a platform isn't good for America

and Stahl asked good questions. She did not praise Greene for being "smart and fearless". She said that Greene came from the construction industry where she was "known to be smart and fearless and has a history of believing in conspiracy theories".

Stahl asked Greene about her controversial tweets and obviously wasn't buying that it was staff, not her.

When questioned about raising the debt ceiling, Greene said, "I don't think we have a revenue problem, we have a spending problem". Classic republic tagline and Stahl didn't let it go. "You know something? That's glib," Stahl responded.

They played a video clip of Greene chasing after a survivor of the Parkland School shooting. Stahl questioned her about some of the outrageous things she has said starting with "Democrats are pedophiles". "They are not pedophiles. Why would you say that?" After Greene's ridiculous answer, Stahl made a face and said, "Wow".

Greene complained about "name calling" from the media and Democrats and Leslie said "Pedophiles?"

Obviously, there was more, but for the most part they weren't softball questions and though Stahl came across as relatively pleasant, she wasn't letting any of Marjorie's crap go unchallenged.
