Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a new hot name for the House Freedom Caucus.
“I’m not a member of the burn-it-all-down caucus anymore,” she told reporters Thursday. “I’m greatly, very happily a free agent, and I want to do my job here.”
Ms. Greene was ousted from the caucus over the summer for supporting the debt limit bill that Speaker Kevin McCarthy and President Biden produced to avoid a default. Many Freedom Caucus members blasted the bipartisan work.
An incident with Rep. Lauren Boebert, where Ms. Greene referred to her as a “little b***h” also aided in the Georgian’s booting.
On Thursday, Ms. Greene‘s tore into the Freedom Caucus after fellow Republicans said they would not vote for a Defense Department appropriations bill due to where some of the money was going.
Ms. Greene herself said on X that she would not vote for the bill because it included funds to Ukraine, which she adamantly does not back, but she expressed her frustration with Republican colleagues for not even attending a closed-door GOP conference conclave.
“A lot of my colleagues that are saying those things weren’t even in that room, so they weren’t there to hear any of the conversations nor raise their concerns,” she said after the meeting. “They can’t stand out and hold press conferences but not attend our conference meetings and expect to work things out.”
