Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t shy away from her mind-bending “b-word” feud with fellow far-right Representative Lauren Boebert, even after she was kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus for doing so.
Greene’s ‘MTG Battleground’ podcast redoubled the insult directed at Boebert by spelling the nasty word on Twitter and retweeting an article about the controversy.
“Li’l b—h,” tweeted the account for Greene’s eponymous podcast Friday, including a link to a story about her impeachment from the Freedom Caucus.
It followed that with more common fare like a morning “Happy Friday! Blame Joe Biden!” tweet.
It’s unclear why Greene thinks her feud with Boebert has rubbed off on her when it’s already cost her some political clout.
She resorted to playground scolds last month on the floor of the House of Representatives against Boebert, whom she accused of stealing her thunder by introducing a competing version of her proposal to impeach President Biden.
Boebert kept her calm and walked away from the set-to. She even took the high road by later tweeting that Greene is “not my enemy.”
The Freedom Caucus, the preeminent group of far-right lawmakers, firmly sided with Boebert, voting late last month to expel Greene.
The ouster remained secret for a few days before being confirmed earlier Thursday by Representative Andy Harris (R-Md.), who said the shouting contest was the main reason, though Greene’s burgeoning political alliance with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also sparked hacks.
Boebert has not commented on Greene’s expulsion and stuck to tweeting about GOP red meat issues, such as denouncing the alleged cover-up surrounding the small amount of cocaine found in the White House.
The latest blowout wasn’t the first time Greene and Boebert had gone head to head.
Green got into a fight with Boebert’s in the congressional ladies’ room after the Republican from Colorado opposed supporting McCarthy’s struggling bid for the gavel, which he won on the 15th ballot.
The feud is puzzling to observers because Greene and Boebert share nearly identical views on almost every hot button problem and are both staunch supporters of former President Donald Trump.
They were once strong political allies and even seemed to be good friends tag team harassing Biden during his 2022 State of the Union address.
