Low IQ right-wing dogfight

[marmar]

Far-right Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., exchanged barbs this week over their differences on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's, R-Calif., speaker bid.

After extracting various concessions, Greene has been one of McCarthy's biggest defenders against a push from other far-right lawmakers to torpedo his speaker bid or extract even more concessions. Unlike Greene, Boebert has been noncommittal on McCarthy's ascension unless there is an "accountability mechanism" to easily remove him from the job.

Boebert took a shot at Greene at the Turning Point USA conference in Phoenix on Monday while discussing her differences with the Georgia Republican.

"I've been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in," Boebert said. "I don't believe in [McCarthy as speaker], just as I don't believe in Russian space lasers, Jewish space lasers and all of this," she added, referring to a conspiracy theory shared by Greene linking wildfires to a fictional space laser controlled by the Rothschilds, a wealthy Jewish family at the heart of many antisemitic conspiracy theories. .............(more)
