Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling Lauren Boebert an ugly word behind her back

While both Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) have a lot in common – including their attempts to be leaders in the House when it comes to anti-LGBTQ+ animus – they apparently don’t get along. At all.

The Daily Beast is reporting that Greene has been referring to Boebert as a “wh**e” while talking to other Republican lawmakers. One GOP House member told the publication that they heard Greene use that word multiple times to describe Boebert.

Given LGBTQ+ business owners’ increased prominence, it is not hard to see the culture — and political power — shifting within the Western Slope.

“Calling her a wh**e, that’s not new,” the unnamed member of Congress said. “She’s been doing that for a while.”

Another unnamed GOP House member confirmed that they heard Greene lambaste Boebert behind her back while talking to Donald Trump, but they did not confirm that Greene used the word “wh**e.”

And a third GOP House member told The Daily Beast that Greene had made “disparaging” remarks to Trump about Boebert but did not say exactly what language Greene used.

When asked about what those three colleagues said she was doing, Greene attacked The Daily Beast but didn’t deny the allegations.

“Why are you working on a story?” she asked the reporter. “Because you like to write trash, you just can’t help yourself.”

“You just love it so much, you got to create it, and make it more, and bigger, and nastier.”

Boebert hasn’t commented on the matter.

This is far from the first time that Greene has used misogynist insults to attack Boebert. Just last week Greene called her “vaping groping Lauren Boebert” on social media, referring to how Boebert got kicked out of a theater after allegedly vaping in front of a pregnant woman, groping her date, and generally being disruptive.

In June, Greene called Boebert a “little b**ch” on the House floor during an argument after each of them introduced articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden.

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

In January, the two extremists – both of whom have said that trans women shouldn’t be allowed in the women’s room because they’d be a danger to cis women – allegedly got in a fight in the women’s room in Congress. Greene supported Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s (R-CA) bid to be speaker while Boebert opposed it.

According to one source, Greene was exiting a stall when she confronted Boebert about the latter’s plan to thwart McCarthy’s election as speaker. Greene allegedly accused Boebert of taking money from McCarthy for her campaign but not showing loyalty to him now.

“You were OK taking millions of dollars from McCarthy but you refuse to vote for him for speaker, Lauren?” she allegedly asked, according to one source.

“Greene questioned Boebert’s loyalty to McCarthy, and after a few words were exchanged, Boebert stormed out,” another source said.

“That’s when Lauren said, ‘Don’t be ugly,’” the source explained, before Boebert “ran out like a little schoolgirl.”

And last year Boebert and Greene 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.”

Several months later, Boebert mocked Greene to the press.

“I have been asked to explain MTG’s beliefs on Jewish space lasers, on why she showed up to a white supremacist conference… I’m just not going to go there,” Boebert said. “She wants to say all these things and seem unhinged on Twitter, so be it.”
