WASHINGTON — Returning from a two-week recess, House Freedom Caucus members refused to say Tuesday whether they had kicked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene out of the group of conservative hard-liners.

"I don't discuss that," said Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa.

"I don't talk about membership at the Freedom Caucus," added a Greene rival, Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo.

"I'm just not gonna comment on that with all the world problems were having," chimed in Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C.

After two weeks of confusion over whether Greene, R-Ga., a top ally of former President Donald Trump, was still an active member of the group, Freedom Caucus members declined to provide any clarity Tuesday, calling the matter an internal issue..............................

1. She's on double secret probation

They’re all afraid of her. Perhaps with good reason.

9. +1

[Evolve Dammit]

13. All the photos of her weapons of war are cowing her colleagues. Betcha.

[tanyev]

2. The first rule of Freedom Caucus is you do not talk about Freedom Caucus.

[marble falls]

8. Beat me to it. Rule two: don't talk about not talking about it. It's a marriage made in hell ...

... they can't live without each other. MT Greene can't join "mainstream" GOP circles with the freedom caucus hanging on her, and her base is mainly Freepers; and the caucus draws less attention without MT Greene.

[Walleye]

3. So the freedom caucus is a secret society. Not all that free, huh?

[Omnipresent]

4. She callled Boebert a little bitch...

On the house floor.
Someone should have stood up for marge and said, “Hey Lauren, didn’t you get the memo?, Fuck your Feelings!”

[mpcamb]

10. Geez, she finally gets something right and gets penalized for it...

[jmowreader]

15. No, no, you don't understand

If Marjorie would have taken Lauren out in the hall and called her a bitch, or gone over to Lauren's office and done it in there, that would have been fine. But on the House floor where everything done there is broadcast on C-SPAN, no that won't do.

She didn't get expelled for calling Lauren Boebert a bitch. She got expelled for embarrassing the GOP more than it already was.

5. It's none of your business?

Who in hell do these freedumb kakas think they work for?

[617Blue]

6. Who fucking cares

the fact these ignorant fascists get this kind of attention from outlets like NBC is exhibit a as to where this country is headed. It matters not a wit who's in their stupid little circle jerk. Referring to them as "Freedom" Caucus is an insult to freedom and just amplifies their crap.

[Drum]

7. Just as fake as Putin's fake military mutiny

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. "with all the world problems were having"

Like Joe Biden’s socks.

[Tommy Carcetti]

12. She's Schrodinger's Nutcase. nt

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. She's way too crazy for them to NOT want her to stay with them

[Omaha Steve]

16. kick

[pfitz59]

17. 'Freedom' caucus bozos

want most Americans to be shackled and impoverished. Prisoners of the oligarchy and their religious sidekicks.

18. Now confirmed...

WASHINGTON — A member of the House Freedom Caucus confirmed Wednesday that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., has been removed from the conservative group, citing her repeated “attacks” on GOP colleagues.

“She’s not a member of the Freedom Caucus, and she shouldn’t be in the future,” Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo., said in an appearance on NBC News' “Meet the Press NOW” in some of the most definitive comments yet about Greene’s status in the group.

Greene, a fundraising powerhouse with an enormous social media following, has been one of former President Donald Trump’s top defenders on Capitol Hill. She is the first lawmaker to be ousted from the Freedom Caucus since it was started in 2015 by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, then-Reps. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and others.

Other members of the ultraconservative group had said a vote was taken June 23 to eject Greene over her altercation with Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., and her vocal support for Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s ultimately successful bid for speaker and his trillion-dollar debt-ceiling deal with President Joe Biden.
