 When it comes to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, you'd think that they are probably BFFs, right? I mean, they're in the same freshman class in Congress. They're both former QAnon members, possible current QAnon members. They're both insurrectionists. They have the same far-right beliefs. They're extremists. They're also both very stupid. So you'd think how are they not like inseparable? But apparently the opposite is true. There's bad blood between Marjorie Greene and Lauren Boebert. And they got into a verbal match that was so heated during a Freedom House caucus meeting that they had to be separated and people feared that it would escalate. So I had no idea that this happened. This story is from the end of April, but it totally flew under the radar. But I've got to share this with you. As Olivia Bevers from Politico writes, privately, Republicans say Boebert, who's seen as more of a party team player than Greene, detests being tied to her Georgia colleague. And when the House Freedom Caucus Board of Directors gathered last month at its usual spot a few blocks from the Capitol, the two tangled over Greene's appearance at a February event organized by a known white nationalist. Their confrontation grew so heated that at least one onlooker feared the Greene Boebert back and forth might escalate beyond the verbal cage match, had another board member not stepped in to de-escalate according to a GOP lawmaker who was granted anonymity to describe what happened. The incident was confirmed by three people connected to the Freedom Caucus, whose members largely avoided public criticism of Greene and Representative Paul Gosar at the time and focused their discontent on the event organizer Nick Fuentes. Still, not everyone in the Freedom Caucus sees Boebert and Greene as distinct. When both leapt to their feet during President Joe Biden's date of the union this year to chant for a border wall, one day after their board meeting clash, a viral photo captured Representative Brian Donald's sitting between them looking uncomfortable with the display. Very, very interesting. So, you know, the private dynamic is a little bit different than the public dynamic because, you know, they've both kind of won up to each other or piggybacked off of one another when they were, or when Lauren Boebert specifically was attacking Ilhan Omar and was calling her part of the G-Hodd Squad, Marjorie Greene jumped in. They both were yelling at Joe Biden like unhinged fools during the State of the Union. So, you know, it's interesting that behind the scenes they actually don't like each other and it stems from a disagreement about Marjorie Greene's appearance at the white nationalist equivalent of the Conservative Political Action Conference, or what is it, CPAC, CPAC, you know, she doesn't think that it was appropriate for Marjorie Greene to go to that white nationalist alternative to CPAC. And I don't know if it's because she disagrees with Nick Fuentes because I think that if you pressed her, she probably would agree with at least some of what he had to say. But more importantly, I think that she doesn't like the optics, right? It's an optics nightmare because what Republicans are doing is they're trying to slowly introduce more explicit white supremacy to their base, but you can't just jump right in, right? They've dipped their toes in, they've dipped their ankles in, but if you jump in all at once, then you kind of give up the game. And I think that Lauren Boebert, as dumb as she is, is at least savvy enough to acknowledge that you can't really go full white hood. Like showing up at this event kind of proves what the left has been saying about the Republican Party, that they're all a bunch of racists. So, you know, we can't continue to have plausible deniability and say racist things about the squad and people in this country if you're going to literally go to white nationalist events. So you destroy our credibility when you do that. So that's what I'm assuming Lauren Boebert was, you know, heated about. And Marjorie Green, you know, she would never back down from anything because she can never admit that she's wrong. So she decided to push back. But what's interesting is how intense that exchange got between the two of them. I wonder if Lauren Boebert feels the same about Gozo or she just holds this animosity towards green because they're kind of lumped together for good reason. It's really fascinating to me. And to be clear, this story has no substance whatsoever. But it's one of those junk food stories where it's not really going to do much for you when it comes to substance and being informed. But it's it's food for the soul. It makes you feel better about this country to see that these goons are ripping each other apart. You know, I can't help but think let them fight. I hope it continues, you know, and I'll leave that there. This is just an interesting little story that for whatever reason put a smile on my face. I hope that this beef between them continues and I hope that it gets public. Do you enjoy watching independent news shows like The Humanist Report, The Rational National and The Majority Report?
