GOP Women's Group Blasts Greene and Boebert: 'Carnival Barkers'

A fundraising group for Republican women announced on Wednesday that it will not endorse Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (R., Colo.) in the 2022 midterms, likening the congresswomen to “carnival barkers.”

The Value in Electing Women (VIEW) PAC, which has worked since 1997 to increase the number of Republican women in Congress, criticized the actions of both congresswomen in an interview with Business Insider.

“While we rightfully celebrate the number of GOP women serving in the House, I’ve always professed quality over quantity,” VIEW PAC executive director Julie Conway told the outlet.

She said being in Congress is not a “joke” or “reality show.”

Unfortunately you're the exception not the rule. Most GOPers are just fine and dandy with these two.

Have you talked with your party's caucus leaders about that? The problem isn't confined to Greene and Boebert.
