MTG Goes Scorched Earth on PBS CEO for Airing Drag Queen Content Targeted at Children: ‘You Lied Under Oath’
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused PBS CEO Paula Kerger of lying under oath last week when Kerger denied the network had aired drag queen content targeted at children.
Greene backed her accusation with video evidence that appeared to contradict Kerger’s testimony.
The heated exchange occurred during a hearing examining taxpayer funding for public broadcasting, where Greene challenged both PBS and NPR leadership over what she described as content pushing a “far-left agenda” on issues including gender identity and race.
“The LGBTQ indoctrination of our children, the systematic racism narrative, and the support for censorship being pushed by the heads of NPR and PBS are just several of the many abuses of taxpayer dollars,” Greene stated during the hearing.
After Kerger claimed PBS had not aired drag queen content aimed at children, Greene immediately played a clip from “Let’s Learn,” a PBS program designed for children ages 3 to 8.
