Boebert and MTG got into such a heated confrontation that another lawmaker had to step in

Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, both far-right freshmen known for stirring controversy, are actually not as close as they seem, according to a new Politico report on Friday.

The report, which explores cracks within the conservative House Freedom Caucus, detailed how Greene and Boebert don't see eye to eye.

GOP lawmakers anonymously told the news outlet that Boebert detests being associated with Greene. The Colorado congresswoman is also viewed more as a team player than her Georgia colleague, Republicans told Politico.

The pair recently engaged in a tense exchange over Greene's attendance at a February conference organized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Greene had faced criticism from within her party for her attendance at the gathering, but her confrontation with Boebert blew up to the point where another unnamed lawmaker had to step in to de-escalate the situation, according to Politico. Three people close to the House Freedom Caucus confirmed the back-and-forth to Politico, which took place during a board of directors meeting last month.

It sold cables and computer networking equipment, and in 1995, the CEO said the Internet was a fad and decided against a website focusing on e-commerce. We didn't have a decent website until Y2K became a well-known threat.

When it came to a binary choice of making the right move in the market or the wrong one, and the employees were all behind the right move, I swear to dawg that the lackwits in management, those toxic business degree holders, deliberately and consistently made the wrong move to spite us all.

and still get into raucous disagreements. Greene is probably stealing a lot of the limelight from Boebert as her antics are much more outrageous. Meanwhile, they don't have many kindred spirits in congress so I think they are inclined to stick together most of the time.

Even Mean Girls fight with one another now and then.

Take the enemy away, the Boeberts and the Greenes of the world... the right wing evangelicals who think the rapture is around the corner and the word 'gay' is too much for them, the militia nuts who want a second civil war, the new right types who think Elon Musk is the next species of humanity, and the alt right types who masturbate to pictures of Dylann Roof will not like each other very much.

Boebart always plays second string to Greene, and Greene is more connected to that other traitor.
