Whoopi Goldberg revealed this week that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) will be a guest on “The View” next week.

“People in Washington are starting to say ‘my constituents.’ You know, they’re starting to remember why they’re there,” Goldberg said during the show on Wednesday.

“When you said Marjorie Taylor Greene, I’m happy to say that she’s going to be here on Tuesday,” she continued.

“I don’t know how many things we agree on, but I know the one thing that she and I and all of us at this table agree on is this should not be affecting the American people,” Goldberg added, referencing the ongoing government shutdown.

“I look forward to joining the ladies on The View on Tuesday!” Greene said.

More from the New York Post:

The hosts of “The View” – including Goldberg, Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Alyssa Farah Griffin and Ana Navarro – stunned their audience earlier this month by showering the Georgia congresswoman with praise.

At the time, Goldberg lauded Greene as “a very surprising voice of reason.”

“What the h*** is going on?” Goldberg joked.

Behar jumped in, saying the congresswoman “also has a couple of kids who need – the insurance premiums are going up, so it’s very personal to her. You know, I’ll take it.”

In a social media post earlier this month, Greene clarified she is “not a fan” of Obamacare, adding that she was not in Congress when the 44th president’s signature legislation took effect in 2010.

“But I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district,” she wrote.

Earlier this month, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin joked: “It’s a dark day when Marjorie Taylor Greene is the voice of reason.”

The Georgia congresswoman responded to those who criticized her upcoming appearance on “The View,” saying she’s being attacked by “pathetic Republican men.”

“There are pathetic Republican men (mostly paid social media influencers) attacking me for going on Bill Maher’s show and The View. Here is my voting card and nothing has changed about me, I’m 1,000,000% America ONLY,” Greene said.

Sorry I’m not sorry I don’t obey Republican men’s demands that I, as a woman, don’t remain seen but not heard,” she added.

The Hill noted:

The Georgia Republican’s decision to join “The View’s” panel came as a shock to some who allege those on the show tend to be critical of President Trump and the GOP.

Greene, who has been an ally of Trump and his MAGA movement for years, bucked the party in recent weeks by criticizing Republican’s plan — or perceived lack thereof — to address expiring health care tax credits under the Affordable Care Act, denouncing U.S. aid from being sent to Israel and urging the Justice Department to release more files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he’s trying “not to react to what Marjorie Taylor Greene says every day” earlier this month as media coverage of her frustrations with the party bubbled.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said earlier this week that Greene is becoming “very liberal” with some of her stances and should be ignored.

“What I’ve found is that whenever an elected official decides that they are going to turn on Israel and hate Israel, you will very quickly see every other policy out of their mouth become very, very liberal,” Cruz said on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” according to the outlet.

“And so suddenly Marjorie is for massive government spending and taxes and open borders and amnesty,” he continued.

The Texas Republican added that people should not “spend much time worrying about what Marjorie is saying.”
