Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene ousted from far right Freedom Caucus after fight with Lauren Boebert

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been kicked out of the biggest conservative club in Congress over her nasty feud with fellow MAGA stalwart Rep. Lauren Boebert.

The right-wing House Freedom Caucus ousted Greene in large part for calling Boebert a “little b----” in a quarrel that erupted on the House floor.

“The straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should,” said Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., according to Politico. The vote to expel the Georgia Republican took place late last month but Harris was the first member to confirm it.

“The way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Harris added.

Greene hurled insults at Boebert in a dispute over their dueling improbable proposals to impeach President Joe Biden, with Greene accusing her Colorado colleague of pandering for donations toward the end of a fundraising period.

“You’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert, the Daily Beast reported last month. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to co-sponsor them.”

“I’m not in middle school,” Boebert countered.

It wasn’t the first time the two women have fought publicly even though they mostly share the same archconservative world view and joined forces to heckle Biden at his State of the Union address in 2022.

Greene confronted Boebert in a congressional ladies room over Boebert’s refusal to back Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid for House Speaker.

Greene, a Georgia representative from one of the most conservative Republican districts in the nation, has drawn some flack from fellow right-wingers for forging a strong alliance with McCarthy, who represents the GOP’s establishment wing.

She also backed McCarthy’s compromise with Biden to raise the debt ceiling, a deal that is anathema to most of the 45-member Freedom Caucus.

“All of that mattered,” Harris said.

Boebert, on the other hand, has hewed much closer to Freedom Caucus orthodoxy despite representing a district that only barely leans Republican.

After her ouster, Greene will be barred from joining the group’s biweekly strategy sessions during which members reportedly discuss long-shot plans to shut down the government and impeach Biden and most of his Cabinet. They also use the sessions to brainstorm about ways of undermining the GOP leadership, which they consider to be far too cozy with Democrats.
