Washington, DC – Returning from a two-week recess, House Freedom Caucus members refused to say Tuesday whether they had kicked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene out of the group of conservative hard-liners. Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., chimed in, saying, “I’m just not gonna comment on that with all the world problems were having.”
Rep. Andy Harris, R-Md., added, “It’s our business.” Greene, R-Ga., who started her time in the House as a firebrand but has since become close to leadership, said she does not know if she’s been kicked out of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus.
House lawmakers returned to Washington Tuesday to begin a three-week stint at the Capitol before taking off again at the end of the month for a six-week summer break to work in their districts. Before the last break, Greene got into a dispute with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), who is also known for making outlandish statements. The two collided over their efforts to impeach President Joe Biden, with Greene reportedly calling Boebert a “little bitch” for allegedly copying her planned impeachment charges.
When asked about Greene’s membership in the Freedom Caucus, Boebert said, “I don’t talk about membership at the Freedom Caucus.” Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry also declined to comment, saying, “I don’t discuss that.”
The confusion over Greene’s membership in the Freedom Caucus has been ongoing for two weeks, and it appears that the matter will remain an internal issue for the group. With House members set to take a six-week break at the end of the month, it is unclear when the issue will be resolved.
