In a recent interview on Fox News, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) of leaking details of a tense encounter they had on the House floor last week to the press. Greene said that Boebert had “never responded to” her and “refused to do so” after she asked her to co-sponsor her articles of impeachment aimed at the president.
Greene went on to say that Boebert had introduced her own articles of impeachment without consulting any other Republicans in the conference, except for Speaker McCarthy and a few others. She added that she found it “unfortunate” that Boebert had leaked the conversation and that she was forced to confirm the details of the conversation.
The rift between the two far-right lawmakers began when Greene asked Boebert to co-sponsor her articles of impeachment. Greene said that she had donated to and defended Boebert in the past, but Boebert had refused to respond.
The disagreement between the two representatives has been seen as a sign of the growing divide between the Republican Party. While Greene is a member of the far-right Freedom Caucus, Boebert is seen as more of a moderate.
The dispute between Greene and Boebert is indicative of the larger rift between the Republican Party. It remains to be seen how the two representatives will resolve their differences and whether their disagreement will have any lasting impact on the party.
