Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) was recently kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus after a string of disagreements with the conservative group, according to two GOP lawmakers familiar with the situation.
“She is no longer with HFC,” a Republican lawmaker told The Daily Beast, noting that “disparaging” fellow members is frowned upon.
“I think there has been some disparagement that’s been going on,” the GOP lawmaker added.
That euphemism is a reference to Greene’s recent fight with a prominent Freedom Caucus member, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), which culminated last month with Greene calling Boebert a “little bitch” to her face on the House floor, as reported by The Daily Beast.
That was apparently the final straw for Freedom Caucus members—a group in which Boebert remains a loyal member in good standing.
But Greene's biggest personal foe in the HFC—Boebert—was far from the most enthusiastic to push her out.
