Republican firebrands Reps. Lauren Boebert (Colo.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) have taken separate sides in the battle over whether or not to support Kevin McCarthy for Speaker in the next Congress, and now they’re taking shots at each other.
While speaking on Charlie Kirk’s show at Turning Point USA’s student conference, alongside Rep. Matt Gaetz, Boebert swiped at Greene for supporting McCarthy and her past bizarre comments.
“I’ve aligned with Marjorie and been accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in,” Boebert said. “I don’t believe in [electing McCarthy as Speaker], just as I don’t believe in Jewish space lasers, all of it, no.”
Greene fired back in a series of tweets on Monday, accusing Boebert of engaging in “high school drama”.
“I’ve supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. President Trump has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. She just barely came through by 500 votes,” Greene wrote.
“She gladly takes our $$ but when she’s been asked: Lauren refuses to endorse President Trump, she refuses to support Kevin McCarthy, and she childishly threw me under the bus for a cheap sound bite … Americans expect conservative fighters like us to work together to Save America and that is the only mission I’m 100% devoted to, not high school drama and media sound bites,” Greene added.
