The vote occurred nearly two weeks ago, shortly after the Georgia Republican had called then-fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert a pejorative in a verbal fight on the House floor.
The House Freedom Caucus voted to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from the pro-Trump group last month, a member confirmed Thursday, indicating that her fight with Rep. Lauren Boebert was part of the group’s reasoning.
“A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done,” said Freedom Caucus board member Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.). When asked if she was formally out, he replied: “As far as I know, that is the way it is.”
It’s the first public confirmation of Greene’s fate within the conservative group. The vote was first reported by POLITICO, though it was unclear at the time whether she had been ejected. It took place less than two days after Greene got into a verbal floor fight with Freedom Caucus member Boebert, during which Greene referred to the Colorado Republican as a “little bitch.” After the exchange was first reported, Greene confirmed the fight and doubled down, adding another pejorative.
The two have clashed repeatedly in the past, but Harris indicated that particular spat had factored into the conservative group’s thinking.

Marjorie Taylor Greene booted from House Freedom Caucus https://t.co/0iAfbyApDg

It’s bad when the pro-Trump, crazy conspiracy theory believing Freedom Caucus — which is hoping to one day replace our democratic republic with a dictatorship, the very antithesis of freedom — boots the ultimate uber-radical Marjorie Taylor Greene from its midst.
