Marjorie Taylor Greene Kicked Out Of Ultra-Conservative House Freedom Caucus
Marjorie Taylor Greene is considered one of the most far-right members of the Republican party, but the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus still kicked the infamous congresswoman out.
She rubbed members of the caucus the wrong way by siding with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, though this came after she had an argument with another member of the group.
The vote to oust her actually happened back on June 23, just before Congress went on recess late last month. The caucus reportedly did not announce the results to the public, saying that the group has a policy of not commenting on membership.
It is still unclear if Greene has already been removed from the caucus formally, though it might be revealed when the House returns from recess next week, a person with knowledge of the situation told the Washington Post.
However, the MAGA Republican remained defiant in a statement she released after it got out that she was booted from her group. She said in her statement, "In Congress, I serve Northwest Georgia first, and serve no group in Washington."
"My America First credentials, guided by my Christian faith, are forged in steel, seared in my character, and will never change," said the controversial congresswoman, who added that she will work with "anyone" who shares her priorities, including Speaker McCarthy who received little support from the Freedom Caucus.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Not Answering Calls From House Freedom Caucus Members
Members of the House Freedom Caucus are actually saying that they tried reaching out to Greene, but she would not return their calls. A board member from that group who asked to remain anonymous told Axios that Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry of Pennsylvania tried to reach out to her both before and after the vote to "discuss her colleagues' grievances with her behavior."
"She was unresponsive and resisted and refused efforts to meet with or talk with Chairman Perry, and so the vote was held without that conversation being held," said the Republican caucus board member.

The House Republican added, "It's my understanding that after the vote took place by the general membership, that she also refused to meet with or talk with Chairman Perry - I suspect it was somewhat like someone refusing to be served legal documents."
With her ouster, Greene is now the first person to ever be removed from the group, with a lot of other Republicans from both sides of the Republican divide having voiced frustrations with her. While she was still with the House Freedom Caucus, she also did not get along well with the more moderate Republicans, especially critics of her ally, Donald Trump.
Lauren Boebert Feud Might Have Gotten Marjorie Taylor Greene Ousted From House Freedom Caucus
It is no secret that MTG is feuding with fellow MAGA Republican Lauren Boebert, with the two getting into a massive confrontation inside a Capitol restroom during the House Speakership vote. Greene also infamously calling the Colorado representative the "B word." The two recently had a confrontation on the House floor, and many are speculating that this may have led to her caucus ouster.
Greene is not backing down on her feud with her former friend, as the Twitter account for her "MTG Battleground" podcast tweeted, "Li'l b---h," which rumors state was exactly what she called Boebert in her argument.
According to the New York Daily News, the feud escalated when Boebert decided to try and impeach Joe Biden, which was opposed by Democrats and moderate Republicans overwhelmingly. However, Greene, who was planning to impeach Biden herself, was not happy with this and it led to her confronting Boebert on the House floor, leading to the now-infamous "B-word" name-calling.
