Body Language Experts Say Marjorie Taylor Greenes CNN Apology For 'Toxic Politics' Reveals More Than She Intended
.... That incredibly flat affect we saw in the CNN interview is just so bizarre, especially compared to her usual animated and bombastic affect in other interviews, said Denise Dudley, a clinical psychologist and behavioral expert.
She was definitely struggling to rein it in. ....
In general, When we see someone being stiff and wooden, and saying things in very measured form, where were pausing a lot, saying, um a lot...its generally when someone is struggling to put forth an opinion or an attitude or an emotion that they dont really embrace, Dudley said, noting that the overall interview indicates this is just someone under great strain to present a whole different way of being, and that its not a natural thing. ....
When we have genuine sadness...the lip corner depresses. [Our lips] pull down, and thats a really hard thing to fake. Thats how often you can see authentic sadness, said behavioral scientist Abbie Maroño. And when she says, Humbly, Im sorry, thats where you would expect that kind of expression, but theres no change. So its what were not seeing that is the concern. ....
Beyond the tone, Dudley pointed out that the language of the apology could be stronger as well. When Greene says sorry for taking part in toxic politics, shes assigned herself the safety of a group, like were all doing this, rather than personal responsibility. ....
