Congressional Cat Fight

I do enjoy political theater.

If find a political slap fight entertaining and when it is a cat fight then the entertainment quality goes up.

There are times when our lay-about Congress becomes a source of entertainment…..this is one of those times…..

Things got heated between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert on the House floor Wednesday after a move Boebert made to push her own resolution to impeach President Biden ahead of Greene’s competing resolution. Three sources tell the Daily Beast Greene accused Boebert of “copying” Greene’s articles of impeachment after Greene asked her to cosponsor them, to which Boebert replied that she hadn’t even read them. One source says they heard Greene tell Boebert, “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little b—- to me.” The other two concur that the b-word was used. Boebert reportedly then shrugged and said, “OK, Marjorie, we’re through” and turned away as Greene responded, “We were never together.”

Afterward, Boebert reacted to the exchange to a CNN congressional correspondent, saying, “Like I said, I’m not in middle school.” Greene, for her part, asked to comment on the story, called it “impressively correct.” She also said of Boebert, “Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.” The two MAGA firebrands once had a “warm” relationship, per the Daily Beast, but things have been getting increasingly tense between them for months. The latest issue has to do with their competing pushes to impeach Biden, both of them seen as longshots, at least right now. In a surprise move, Boebert used a procedural tool to force a vote on hers within days, a move Greene did not make for hers and which apparently upset Greene. In the end, the AP reports, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy negotiated a deal with Boebert to put off a vote for now.

I have always said that Congress was a clown show and these two ‘women’ prove my point.

These two seem to try an out stupid each other.

Here’s an idea since these two are extremely pro-gun then reinstate dueling and let them settle it that way.

Looks like the Freedom Caucus has had enough of these two among others….

While it apparently hasn’t reached the loyalty oath stage yet, the House Freedom Caucus is struggling to maintain unity amid infighting and mutual distrust. Politico, citing “three Republicans with knowledge of the talks,” reports some members of the conservative caucus want to purge its ranks, with at least two hardliners proposing to caucus chairman Rep. Scott Perry that he kick out members who don’t meet its standards. The insiders say one leading candidate for expulsion is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is seen as too close to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy—and too willing to openly criticize the caucus.

Tensions boiled over this week, when Greene called fellow caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert a “little b—-” on the House floor for launching a competing effort to impeach President Biden. Greene confirmed that reports on her remarks were “impressively correct,” while Boebert complained that reporters focused on “pettiness” instead of her push for impeachment. “I didn’t leave my four kids and now my grandson to come up here and have cat fights and just to get in squabbles,” the 36-year-old told Politico. She declined to say where she stands on efforts to purge members from the caucus.

I still like the duel idea.

  1. We elect some terrible politicians in the UK, but it never ceases to amaze me how much worse politicians get votes in your country. Some of those US politicians belong in secure mental hospitals, not being paid from the public purse to display their complete ignorance and prejudice.
    Best wishes, Pete.
