Sunny Hostin surprises with compliment to Marjorie Taylor Greene on 'The View'
Hold onto your hats, folks -- something downright unthinkable happened on The View recently when a staunch conservative like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene found herself nodding along with the show’s famously liberal panel.
This jaw-dropping episode saw Greene, a lightning rod for controversy, step onto the set for her first-ever appearance, managing to bridge divides with co-hosts like Sunny Hostin on topics ranging from prioritizing American interests to ending government shutdowns, as Decider.com reports.
For years, Greene has been a target of sharp criticism on The View, with the co-hosts often decrying her past actions and outspoken support for theories tied to QAnon.

Yet, in a twist no one saw coming, Hostin and company discovered unexpected common ground with Greene on several pressing issues, including a mutual frustration with the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Hostin, visibly taken aback, couldn’t hide her astonishment at this alignment, even as stark differences over President Donald Trump remained a sticking point.
Still, the conversation wasn’t all kumbaya -- Hostin didn’t shy away from pointing out Greene’s history of clashing with her own party and stirring the pot with controversial stances.
Greene’s Evolution Sparks Curiosity
Hostin, with a mix of bemusement and respect, noted a shift in Greene’s demeanor, suggesting she seemed like a “completely different” person from the firebrand they’d critiqued in the past.
“I’m sitting here just stumped, because you are a very different person than I thought you were,” Hostin admitted, probing what might have sparked this apparent transformation.
Greene, however, pushed back hard against any notion of change, insisting she’s the same conservative fighter she’s always been, just misunderstood by a media eager to paint her in broad, unfair strokes.
Media Missteps, Mutual Frustration
“Well, you’ve only seen me in clips and headlines, and that’s not fair,” Greene fired back, arguing that both she and the co-hosts have been caught in a web of misinformation spun by social media and sensationalist reporting.
She didn’t stop there, taking a swipe at the entire political machine, calling it a cesspool of “fundraising and fighting and toxic garbage” that distracts from solving real problems facing the nation.
It’s a point that hits home for anyone tired of the endless partisan bickering -- perhaps Greene’s frustration with the system isn’t so far removed from what many Americans feel, regardless of where they stand.
Breaking Down Walls, Sort Of
Greene also reminded the panel that she’s been repeatedly “attacked” on their show based on what she claims are falsehoods, a grievance Hostin surprisingly conceded with a candid, “We have!”
While this moment of agreement won’t likely turn The View into a conservative stronghold anytime soon, it does peel back the curtain on how much of the political divide is fueled by caricature rather than conversation.
Greene’s appearance may not erase past controversies or bridge every gap, but it’s a rare glimpse of what happens when folks sit down, talk, and realize the other side isn’t always the cartoon villain they’ve been led to believe.
