Wheel of Fortune Host Pat Sajak Slammed for Photo with Marjorie Taylor Greene

Wheel of Fortune fans are not happy with longtime host Pat Sajak. 

Sajak, who recently hinted at his departure from the beloved game show after 40 years, is receiving backlash after he was photographed last month with far-right Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene. The photo shows Sajak between Greene and Right Side Broadcasting Network reporter Brian Glenn, who originally shared the image in late August after he met the game show host at a dinner.

While Sajak has been open about his Republican views in the past (he's also a climate change denier), his appearance alongside Greene sparked some serious outrage from Twitter users when the image was tweeted by PatriotTakes this weekend. "Are all game show hosts trash?" BET News host Marc Lamont Hill asked. "Vanna, I'll take a KKK please," wrote one user. "How nice of Pat Sajak to show his true colors," said another.

The company you keep is quite unfortunate @patsajak . Will be changing the channel when you spin the wheel.
