U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has been voted out of the hardline House Freedom Caucus group after clashing with a fellow member, a caucus member said.
She makes herself and republicans look bad, but still it’s wrong to give someone like her so much publicity. It’s like how CNN etc pumped up Trump by talking about him constantly in 2015.
I noticed a BUNCH of news and politics lemmy subs were created recently, and spamming depressing shit here like they did on reddit. Like, fuck off I don’t want to see that shit!
I mean yeah sure, except that she was ousted for being not fascist enough. So it's not like the group is somehow better now. It's all still just as fucked. But I enjoy seeing her kicked out of anything
The sad thing is it was because she called Bobert a little bitch and supported Kevin McCarthy. Not because of wanting to impeach the president over nothing or jewish space lasers or whatever batshit crazy things come out of her mouth.
The only power she had was because she was aligned with these bozos and could be part of a voting bloc that Mccarthy needs to stay in power. Now that she's out in the cold she'll lose all her perks and privileges (and insider info on what stocks are going to crash tomorrow) . I doubt she even runs for reelection.
Oh, she'll run. It's a way of raising money and getting attention. Pocket all the PAC money the rubes donate, scream and wail for more attention, get on the talkshows that will have you, and repeat.
They're claiming it's because of what she said to Boebert, but it's probably because of how she's buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.
"I think 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," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.
"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
I especially enjoyed when she tried to call a meeting to order and all the dems laughed at her. She's a clown. She should be ostracized like the joke that she is.
You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don't ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren't, it's just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.
This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don't particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960's American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.
But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it's ruining the bake sale! She certainly won't be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.
I'm pretty sure all of them have put political campaign money towards those "Let's go Brandon" or less masked messages. It's not about the swearing, it's about the disloyalty. MTG doesn't have the "rank" to throw Boebert under the bus. If Trump did it they wouldn't have batted an eye.
How Marj, that white trash shit flinging gibbon with a face like a bleached asshole, managed to get herself anywhere near leadership to the PTA... let alone the US Government... will perpetually be a reminder about how insane Republicans are now lol.
"I think 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,"
Sounds like the Freedom Caucus is against freedom of speech!
Basically, from what I've gathered, it could signal one of two things:
1.) MGT has mainlined her rhetoric so much that the truly far right think she's a "centrist," following McCarthy, etc. The Freedom Caucus doesn't like McCarthy and she's been whipping for him recently.
2.) The Freedom Caucus has dirt on her they plan to release ruining her re-election chances and thus are distancing themselves preemptively. This would be punishment for publicly feuding with Beobert.
