Marjorie Taylor Greene just called Lauren Boebert a “little bitch” to her face on the House floor, according to new reporting.
The messy feud between two of MAGA world’s biggest stars burst into public view on Wednesday, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) called Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) a “little bitch” to her face on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The angry exchange came as the two lawmakers have been swiping at each other over their competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden. But tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote.
According to CNN’s Manu Raju, Greene on Wednesday accused Boebert of essentially swiping the articles of impeachment that she had previously drafted – and even went so far as to call her a “copycat.”
Raju also reports that many Republican members are not happy that Boebert is forcing them to vote on impeaching Biden and that even House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he was opposed to Boebert’s motion.
The vote on impeaching Biden is widely expected to fail. Republicans have long made their dissatisfaction with President Joe Biden known, with some advocating for impeachment. Earlier this year, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced articles of impeachment, but Boebert took the threat a step further and introduced the articles of impeachment against Biden in a strategic way that would force a floor vote.
“The American people can no longer be subjected to a President who refuses to secure our borders. His open border agenda has put every American at greater risk, allowed human traffickers to thrive and given the cartel a free pass. He is not fit to remain as Commander in Chief,” she tweeted.
Boebert said on Wednesday that God had personally “directed and led” her to impeach Biden, although it was Greene who started leading the impeachment charge against Biden literally from his first day in office back in January of 2021.
Despite being ideologically similar, Greene and Boebert have a long history of personal feuds, most notably over whether to back McCarthy as Republican Speaker of the House and over Greene’s embrace of conspiracy theories about the Rothschild family funding space lasers to deliberately set forest fires.
Newsweek reached out to Boebert’s press team by email for comment.
According to a tweet from Punch Bowl News founder Jake Sherman, McCarthy suggested that by voting in favor of Boebert’s proposal, House Republicans could lose the majority they just fought so hard to win. He reminded his colleagues that Republicans have taken back the House only five times in the past century: 1946, 1952, 1994, 2010 and 2022.
Greene apparently cursed out Boebert while the House was voting Wednesday afternoon, as the two spoke in a center aisle of the House floor; part of their interaction was captured on C-SPAN’s cameras.
According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over “statements you made about me publicly.” All three of the sources said Greene called Boebert a “bitch.” One of the sources said Greene called her “a little bitch.”
According to two of the sources, Greene then stood up and alleged that Boebert “copied my articles of impeachment,” to which the Colorado lawmaker fired back that she hadn’t even read Greene’s resolution.
