Paramount on Monday announced a public bid for Warner Bros. Discovery at $30 a share
President Donald Trump on Monday slammed Paramount and CBS News’ “60 Minutes” over an interview with his latest enemy, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) — moments after Paramount launched its latest bid for Warner Bros. Discovery for a deal that will need his administration’s approval.
Trump, using his perjorative “Marjorie ‘Traitor’ Brown” nickname for Greene, said the congresswoman was poorly prepared in her interview with “washed up, Trump hating, 60 Minutes ‘correspondent’” Lesley Stahl, which aired Sunday. He also said the network should never have broadcast the conversation.
“My real problem with the show, however, wasn’t the low IQ traitor, it was that the new ownership of 60 Minutes, Paramount, would allow a show like this to air,” Trump wrote.
