Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Membership in House Freedom Caucus Hangs in the Balance After Vote to Remove Her

Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) confirmed in an interview with Politico on Thursday that a vote was taken to remove Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from the House Freedom Caucus. Harris, a member of the group’s board, called the move “an appropriate action” but did not disclose how he voted.

The vote was taken nearly two weeks ago, but it is still unclear whether it was successful. Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., has not directly notified Greene that she has been kicked out of the caucus, but has had multiple conversations with her since the June 23 Freedom Caucus meeting.

According to a Republican source familiar with the conversations, Perry has not brought up the subject because he wants to sit down and talk to Greene about it in person, which likely will happen next week.

The House Freedom Caucus is an ultraconservative Republican caucus that has been vocal in its support of President Donald Trump and his policies. Greene has been a member of the caucus since she was elected to Congress in November 2020.

Greene has been the subject of controversy in recent months due to her past comments and social media posts, which have been widely condemned as racist and anti-Semitic. The House voted to strip her of her committee assignments in February.

The vote to remove Greene from the House Freedom Caucus is the latest development in the ongoing saga surrounding the Georgia congresswoman. It remains to be seen whether Greene will be officially removed from the group, and what the consequences of such a move would be.
