Marjorie Taylor Greene has apparently been expelled from her own House Freedom Caucus
The “House Freedom Caucus” has always been a way for the most extremist, unhinged, and corrupt of right wing House Republicans to portray themselves as somehow being patriotic. In reality these types have only ever been looking to line their pockets by using horrid behavior to goad the lowest of trash into donating to them. But now this “Freedom Caucus” is falling apart from within.
The House Freedom Caucus has apparently voted to expel Marjorie Taylor Greene from its ranks, according to a new report from Politico. This is a bit surreal, given that from the outside it appeared she had become the de facto leader of the group. She had certainly become the face of the group.
The kicker is that Greene hasn’t been booted for poor behavior or being too horrible of a person. No, she’s been booted for not being insane enough. Apparently her decision to support a semi-sane Speaker like Kevin McCarthy has alienated her from her fellow lunatics.
In any case, a majority of Americans would rather see Marjorie Taylor Greene expelled from the House entirely. But that would require a two-thirds House vote so it won’t happen any time soon. In the meantime at least the House Insurrectionist Caucus (let’s call it what it really is) has begun eating itself alive.
