   Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Boebert a Little Bitch on the House Floor   
      
   A feud has been boiling between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert   
   for months. It finally reached a new level on Wednesday.   
      
   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.

   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.   
      
   “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a   
   little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert, according to a source who   
   witnessed the exchange. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after   
   I asked you to cosponsor them.”   
      
   The name-calling was confirmed by another GOP lawmaker and another source   
   who witnessed the exchange.

   “I heard Marjorie call Boebert a bitch right to her face,” one GOP   
   lawmaker said, granted anonymity by The Daily Beast to speak freely about   
   the argument.   
      
   “OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Boebert then said, shrugging her   
   shoulders.   
      
   With Boebert’s back turned, ??Greene responded: “We were never together.”   
      
   Reached for comment about the exchange, Boebert didn’t deny the back and   
   forth.   
      
   “Marjorie is not my enemy. I came here to protect our children and their   
   posterity. Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our country,” she   
   told The Daily Beast. “My priorities are to correct their bad policies   
   and save America.”   
      
   As for her part, when asked about their exchange, Greene told The Daily   
   Beast: “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.”   
      
   Earlier in the day, Greene said she has long championed articles of   
   impeachment against Biden—and strongly suggested Boebert is late to a   
   push that she herself already owns.   
      
      
   “Lauren Boebert never addressed the conference,” Greene said. “I made it   
   clear to the conference that I have introduced articles of impeachment,   
   literally since Joe Biden’s first day in office.”   
      
   “I have been talking about it with everybody forever,” Greene continued.   
   “Literally, everyone. Forever, ‘til I’m blue in the face. You see me? I’m   
   blue in the face.”   
      
   Boebert declined to speak to the GOP conference on Wednesday about her   
   fast-tracked impeachment resolution, after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)   
   invited her to do so ahead of a Wednesday morning, closed-door conference   
   meeting. McCarthy has already come out against the impeachment   
   resolution.   
      
   It’s not just McCarthy, however, who has spoken out against Boebert’s   
   impeachment articles. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL)—a fellow House Freedom   
   Caucus member—disagreed with Boebert’s decision to force a vote so   
   quickly on such a weighty matter.   
      
   “We do have a process of doing things,” he told The Daily Beast.   
   “Impeachment is at such a high level that you know there should be some   
   process for that.”   
      
   The bitter impeachment spat is just the latest in a string of   
   deteriorations that have turned a once warm relationship between Boebert   
   and Greene ice cold.   
      
   After beginning their respective congressional careers in 2021 as MAGA   
   rabble-rousers fighting a Democratic majority, Greene and Boebert’s paths   
   began to diverge as the GOP zeroed in on control of the chamber.

   Once a pariah in the Republican ranks, Greene made herself an   
   indispensable ally to McCarthy, boosting his credibility with the far-   
   right while she began to win over some former detractors in the party   
   mainstream.   
      
   Despite winning re-election in 2022 by just 500 votes, Boebert has tacked   
   even harder to the right. She has aligned herself with a small faction of   
   conservatives who opposed McCarthy’s speakership, and appears determined   
   to undermine him wherever possible.   
      
   In January, The Daily Beast reported that Greene confronted Boebert in   
   the women’s bathroom off the House floor, accusing her of being disloyal   
   to McCarthy, whom Boebert was refusing to support for Speaker.   
      
   “You were OK taking millions of dollars from McCarthy but you refuse to   
   vote for him for Speaker, Lauren?” Greene asked, according to a source   
   familiar with the interaction.   
      
   Both Greene and Boebert have since become vocal proponents of impeaching   
   Biden and other Democrats—to the delight of the MAGA base—but their   
   jostling to be the first and loudest Republicans to own the push has   
   resulted in a major escalation of their feud.   
      
   Last month, Greene kicked off what she called an “impeachment week,”   
   filing articles of impeachment against Biden and several of his cabinet   
   officials.   
      
   Not to be outdone, Boebert filed her own articles of impeachment against   
   Biden, and she leveraged a parliamentary tool on Tuesday—called a   
   privileged resolution—to force an impeachment vote on the House floor.   
      
   Despite her alliance with McCarthy, Greene told Politico on Tuesday that   
   she would be doing the same thing, pointedly noting that her plans were   
   laid “before this weekend.”   
      
   That indirect back-and-forth, conducted through press releases and quotes   
   to media outlets, seems to have provided the kindling for Greene and   
   Boebert’s tense exchange on Wednesday.   
      
      
      
   In the broader GOP conference, many members believe it is hardly the   
   right time to push for Biden’s impeachment, and they worry that Boebert   
   and Greene’s tactics will expose Republican disunity on the issue.   
      
   But to Republicans who are supportive of the impeachment push, the   
   obvious infighting between two of the most vocal and influential   
   conservatives was met with concern.
