Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) continued her feud with fellow firebrand Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) on Thursday, doubling down on calling Boebert a “lil’ b****” after she was reportedly booted from the House Freedom Caucus.
Greene, who made the inflammatory remark in June, commented on a headline from the Daily Mail on Twitter, which claimed Greene was voted out of the caucus for calling Boebert a “b****.” But Greene’s podcast “Battleground” clarified that the comment was actually “lil’ b****.”

Tensions between Greene and Boebert have been building for a while, but they came to a head after Greene made the remark on the House floor, which Greene confirmed to the Washington Examiner. The congresswomen had been feuding over competing efforts to impeach President Joe Biden at the time of the comment.
Greene and Boebert also clashed during the votes for House speaker, when Boebert told Greene not to be “ugly.”
Reports that Greene could be ousted from the conservative caucus began circling last month after members of Congress expressed dismay at the Georgia conservative’s actions. But Greene’s apparent removal from the caucus was also because of her past votes, especially her support for the debt ceiling legislation.

Without sharing how she voted, a spokesperson for Boebert said in a statement: “There was nothing personal about Congresswoman Boebert’s vote regarding MTG’s membership status in the House Freedom Caucus.”
Reports of Greene’s removal were made public on Thursday, but the vote itself took place on June 23.
