Report: Freedom Caucus mulls ousting Marjorie Taylor Greene amid escalating infighting.
Conservative Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Future in House Freedom Caucus Uncertain
Reports published on Friday suggest that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), known for her fiery conservative views, may be at risk of losing her position in the House Freedom Caucus. Tensions among House Republicans have reached a boiling point, prompting some members of the caucus to consider making cuts.
The feud between Greene and fellow firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) over competing efforts to impeach President Joe Biden has only added fuel to the fire. In fact, Greene went as far as calling Boebert a “little b****” during a heated exchange on Wednesday.
Disappointment and Unprofessionalism
During a closed-door meeting of the caucus on Friday, lawmakers expressed their disappointment in Greene’s actions, with two sources describing them as “unprofessional,” according to Axios.
While Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) confirmed that discussions were underway regarding the potential removal of certain lawmakers who no longer align with the caucus’s standards or stances, he did not confirm whether Greene was one of those members.
“At the proper time, it will be out in the public,” Norman said on Friday. “I’m not telling you when. I’m not telling you what’s being said. [The decisions] will be out in the public.”
It remains unclear how many members are being considered for removal or whether Boebert is also on the chopping block. Boebert and Greene have clashed in the past, with Boebert urging Greene to refrain from being “ugly” during the votes for House speaker.
Despite the closed-door discussions, three lawmakers in the group expressed skepticism about the likelihood of any ousting taking place. The hesitancy of some members to vote makes it challenging to achieve the required 80% majority for removal.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) firmly stated that he would not entertain the idea of removing members from the caucus, rejecting requests from certain lawmakers.
