Boebert Says What We're All Thinking About Marjorie Taylor Greene - Ring of Fire



During an interview with the Associated Press, Lauren Boebert made it clear that her ongoing feud with Marjorie Taylor Greene hasn't gone away as she referred to her fellow second-year colleague as "unhinged." To be clear, many of us think the same thing about Greene, but the exact same thing can be said of Boebert, as well. With as much as the two have in common you'd think they would be best friends, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

==================

*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.

Just like Republican representative Mike Rogers got to live the dream last week and almost punch Matt Gaetz in the face. Lauren Boebert of all people got to live the dream by saying what we're all thinking about Marjorie Taylor Green In a recent interview with the Associated Press, here is what Bobert told the AP. In an interview, I have been asked to explain Marjorie Taylor Green's beliefs on Jewish space lasers on why she showed up to a white supremacist conference. I'm just not going to go there. She wants to say all these things and seem unhinged on Twitter, so be it. So Lauren Boebert believes that Marjorie Taylor Greene at least appears to be unhinged and credit where credit is due, right? Lauren Boebert is absolutely correct about that. However, you can't really talk about that without also pointing out the fact that everything she just said about being unhinged on social media up that could also apply to Lauren Boebert herself.

Which of course makes it so weird that these two individuals do not get along. They, they are cut from the same cloth. I mean, they are almost like mirror images of one another with the lunacy we see from them. They should be best buddies because they're just exactly alike. But maybe that's why they don't get along. Maybe they're, they're both the alphas and they can't have the other one trying to steal the spotlight that they believe is rightfully theirs. So now they've each carved out this nice little niche for them in the House of Representatives. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of course, is on Kevin McCarthy's side. Lauren Boebert, of course, is against him. So Boebert still has all her Freedom Caucus pals, Marjorie Taylor Greene has burned a lot of those bridges in the last week, but she built a new one with Kevin McCarthy and that, of course is going to be a little bit better than her connections to the, uh, freedom Caucus.

So we'll see how this plays out. But I do think that this interview with the Associated Press just kind of shows us these deep divisions that are taking place within the Republican party, right? It's not just the old normal Republicans, if there ever was such a thing versus the MAGA freaks. It's maga freak on maga freak violence right now, folks, at least verbally, almost physically last week. Let's be clear. And let's also not forget, by the way, apparently there was an event, uh, let me read this cuz this is, this is hilarious. I didn't even know this happened last year. The two nearly came to blows at a meeting of the far right Freedom Caucus over Green's public appearance with prominent white supremacists. Nick Fuentes, the confrontation got heated and one witness later said they thought green and Bobert were going to get physically violent until another

Freedom Caucus member stepped in to deescalate. So who knows, right? The animosity has grown since that point last year. So maybe before the end of this year, we could actually see a fist fight between Lauren Bobber and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Maybe we'll see one between Matt Gates and Mike Rogers. Although Mike Rogers has now apologized for his behavior, total wimp move. You should have stuck with it, dude. Pretty sure you could have dropped gates, but either way, there's anger on the right, there's animosity, there's borderline violence. Stay tuned cuz this year's probably only gonna get nuttier from here.

World Wrangling House of representatives

Last week Matt Goetz the undisputed King of WWHor, was nearly taken out by Rogers.
Stay tuned, that was just a warm up, a meet and greet.

This week MGT and Boebert are talking smack and they have nearly come to blows before.
So it could be a great match up.
