Marjorie Taylor Greene Accused of Seeking 'All the Dirt' on Kevin McCarthy [View all]

Far-right activist Laura Loomer said in a recent interview that GOP Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia asked her to "dig up all the dirt" on House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

During an interview on In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels, Loomer said that Greene sent her text messages in which she targeted McCarthy. Loomer's comments were shared to Twitter on Saturday in a clip posted by PatriotTakes, a platform that monitors and exposes right-wing extremism.

Loomer, a failed GOP congressional candidate in Florida whom Greene endorsed, also pointed out how the Georgia Republican held contradictory stances about McCarthy as she currently supports him despite criticizing him in the past.

"Marjorie had always been outspoken about Kevin McCarthy like I have messages with Marjorie Taylor Greene on my cell phone where she...thinks Kevin McCarthy is so 'stupid' and how she wants me to dig up all the dirt on him and his extramarital affairs so that we can prevent Kevin McCarthy from being [House] speaker," Loomer said. It's unclear, however, when those text messages were sent from the congresswoman.
