Marjorie Taylor Greene called Lauren Boebert a “b***h” to her face & in an interview later that day

While anti-LGBTQ+ Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are similarly extreme and similarly outrageous, the pair has recently struggled to make nice. Their feud escalated this week when Greene called Boebert a “little b**ch” on the House floor during a heated, part of which was caught on video.

While you cannot tell what the pair says in the footage, the conversation certainly looks tense. According to the Daily Beast, the two were fighting about the competing articles of impeachment each has introduced against President Biden. Greene was upset at Boebert for utilizing a policy that forced a vote on her articles over Greene’s.

“Unlike Ms. Boebert, I am legally trained and I’ve passed a few bar exams,” said Dem. Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.

Sources say Greene called Boebert a “b**ch” and accused her of copying her articles of impeachment– something of which she had already publicly accused Boebert.

“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little b**ch to me,” Greene said, according to a witness. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”

Boebert then reportedly replied, “Ok, Marjorie, we’re through,” to which Greene responded, “We were never together.”

Both lawmakers have confirmed the story, and Greene has since doubled down on her comments, making it very clear she is not sorry.

“She has genuinely been a nasty little b**h to me,” she told Semafor.

“I was sitting down, and so I stood up, and I said, ‘I’m happy to clarify my public statements to your face.’ I told her exactly what I think about her.”

“It’s purely for fundraising,” she continued. “It’s throwing out red meat so that people will donate to her campaign because she’s coming up on the end of the month, and she’s trying to produce good fundraising numbers.”

Greene also said that at one point, she told Boebert to “shut up,” and when asked whether she and Boebert would ever reconcile, she said, “absolutely not.”

Boebert spoke with the Daily Beast after the fight, saying, “Marjorie is not my enemy. I came here to protect our children and their posterity. Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our country. My priorities are to correct their bad policies and save America.”

Boebert and Greene peddle similar far-right extremist ideologies and have each made names for themselves by being as outlandish as possible both in the halls of Congress and on social media.

They are both white, cisgender, straight women with no prior political experience just starting their second terms in the House; both are anti-LGBTQ+ extremists; both have stated their support for the QAnon conspiracy theory; and both have worked to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Both have spent their tenures viciously attacking LGBTQ+ people, especially trans youth.

But while they may seem like two peas in a pod, the personal animosity started in their first terms in Congress. Last year the two nearly came to blows at a meeting of the far-right Freedom Caucus over Greene’s public appearance with prominent white supremacist Nick Fuentes. The confrontation got heated, and one witness later said that they thought Greene and Boebert were going to get physically violent until another Freedom Caucus member “stepped in to de-escalate.”

The division deepened when Boebert joined her MAGA colleagues, Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Bob Good (R-VA), and Paul Gosar (R-AZ), in voting against Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid to become speaker of the House, while Greene was one of McCarthy’s most prominent allies, arguing since late last year for her colleagues to vote for him to avoid the chance of a bipartisan compromise speaker.

A Democratic congresswoman, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas, recently told MSNBC that the two legislators “literally lack all substance.”

“It is not just in committee,” Crockett emphasized, “It’s just generally speaking.”
