CNN’s Kaitlan Collins hosted a short joint interview Monday, April 13 with Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna and former MAGA Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. Since Collins began by asking each of them questions about other matters, two-thirds of the way through Greene intervened to bring the subject back to why they both had agreed to be interviewed together for the first time, despite their wildly divergent views on many issues: to discuss why they have agreed to initiate “a conversation” on how to break the “right-left” divisiveness which is sinking the nation.
Greene argued that Americans are so “completely sick of the political drama” that many Americans are coming to think that both parties have failed them. People are asking if we need an independent third party, or different candidates, because the currently dominating right-left divide has failed them. “Americans can’t afford to live.” She and Ro still have very big differences on many issues, she said, but we are initiating the “conversation” that is needed to find issues of common interest on which there can be collaboration.
