When far-right loonies fall out
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus. That’s kind of like kicking Trump out of the Bad Stupid Greedy Men’s Caucus.
Well, it’s official: the QAnon-loving, conspiracy theory-spouting, potentially sedition-encouraging congresswoman is out of the Freedom Caucus, Politico’s Olivia Beavers reported Thursday. Maryland Republican Andy Harris described the vote to Beavers as an “appropriate action.”
Wud she do? Chase fellow Freedom Caucusers down the halls shouting abuse at them?
Pretty much.
This is the first time the Freedom Caucus has kicked out one of its own. Harris said the reason for Greene’s ouster was primarily because “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.”
He was likely referring to when Greene called her former work bestie Lauren Boebert a “little bitch” on the House floor. Greene accused her colleague of copying her articles of impeachment against Joe Biden—and then introducing them first.
Aw come on, she’s an insult comic, it’s what they do.
Well, you can take the congress critter out of the trash heap, but you can’t take the trash out of the dumpster fire. I think that’s the phrase…
This is very fun, albeit ultimately meaningless. The two of them have been competing to be queen of the magats since the election and this proves that of two really horrible people, the nastiest one is MGT. A dubious prize to win. My guess is far from being chastened, MGT will go absolutely all out finding new and ever more exciting ways to be unhinged. A fair bit of the Republican base will love her for it too.
Biden and Trump are both excellent representatives of their respective parties. And MTG represents the debased level of political discourse further down. It’s saddening.
