Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls Boebert a 'Little Bitch' on the House Floor

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."

They've had at least 2 very public spats since December, when Boebert said something like "People think we're the same, but we're not. I've never believed in Jewish Space Lasers."

2.

The original post word "bitch" is actually the sexist slur, as it refers especially to us females. Skank goes for anybody.

Hopefully some artistic person will generate some hysterical cartoons about this. I know I look forward to the daily Trump Toons.

Grasping at self aggrandisement. Envious that the other will get more headlines and media advantage.

But actually do something that helps the American people? Forget about it.

Oh deer! I hope this doesn't lead to a fist-fight, with hair-pulling, obscene insults, and bloody noses, all caught on camera.

132. Back in the old days, congress use to have duels.

I say bring back the old days:

On this date, Jonathan Cilley of Maine was killed by Representative William Graves of Kentucky in a duel on the outskirts of D.C., in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Graves approached Cilley with a letter at the behest of a newspaper editor, James Webb, who was incensed about a bribery accusation Cilley had made on the House Floor. Cilley refused to accept the letter; Graves interpreted the refusal as a direct insult to his character and challenged Cilley to a duel. In an ironic twist, neither man had any known grievance with the other prior to the incident. With two other Members of the House present, Henry Wise of Virginia and Delegate George Jones of Wisconsin (the dueling seconds for both men), the duel went beyond the customary two rounds, resulting in Cilley’s death in the third round
