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 during an appearance on NBC News' “Meet the Press NOW,” in what were 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. Her removal from the Freedom Caucus makes her the first lawmaker to be ousted from the group started in 2015 by Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, then-Reps. Mark Meadows and Ron DeSantis and others.

Other members of the ultraconservative group had said a vote was taken on 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 speaker bid and his trillion-dollar debt-ceiling deal with President Joe Biden.

But for the past two weeks, there was confusion about her status after Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., declined to comment about the matter and Greene insisted that no one had informed her that she'd been voted out. Some House Freedom Caucus members suggested that Greene has been avoiding Perry’s attempts to reach her to deliver the news. By Wednesday, Perry and Greene still had not personally spoken about the issue, even though they would have been on the House floor together during votes.

8. That imagery brought to mind

someone that she needs to go the way of - Madison Cawthorn.

And believe it or not, the media so "disappeared him" out of the news that I even forgot his name and had to look it up (I only remembered that he was a Rep. in NC and lost the primary).

9. I wish we could kick all of these Q fuckers out of Congress now.

They are an inherent danger to this country. Giving a conspiracy theorist a seat in Congress is like giving the alcoholic the keys to the liquor cabinet. They won't use their powers for good.
