The Shady Side Of Pat Sajak

In September 2022, a photo of Pat Sajak posing with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene went viral on Twitter. The snap was initially shared on Instagram by Right Side Broadcasting Network reporter Brian Glenn back in August, who joked in part in his caption, "'I'd like to solve the puzzle', M T G," even though that's not quite how "Wheel of Fortune" works.

Many fans were disappointed to learn of Sajak's support for a controversial politician — who has, among other things, mocked school shooting survivors, per NBC News — and they expressed their displeasure on social media after the photo was tweeted by an account that monitors far-right activity called Patriot Takes. "It's only been 8 months since Marjorie Taylor Greene gave the keynote at a Nazi rally where the organizer praised Adolf Hitler," wrote director Jeremy Newberger, evidently referencing Greene's speech at a white nationalist conference (via HuffPost). "So by all means, Pat Sajak, take some selfies with her." Others made the connection to the fact that Sajak had recently announced he was planning to retire in the near future, according to ET. "He might want to speed up that [retirement] timetable. #TheCompanyHeKeeps," one Twitter user wrote, seemingly upset that the company he keeps includes a congresswoman who once compared COVID-19 vaccines to the Holocaust, as reported by Reuters.

As of this writing, Sajak has not commented on the viral photo, which isn't a surprise; as he himself once tweeted, "...no one wants to be trending on Twitter."
