Marjorie Greene

House Freedom Caucus voted to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene, congressman says

By Azeem TajPublished 12 months ago 6 min read

A group of hard line conservatives with no shortage of firebrand members have now voted to kick out. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, Maryland Congressman Andy Harris says that they booted her just before the end of last month. And before we tell you what did cross the line, this is the kind of stuff that did not win the House Freedom Caucus in the past. A so-called plane that crashed into the Pentagon. It's odd. There's never any evidence shown for a plane in the Pentagon. The Democrats are now controlled by the jihad squad led by AOC, the little communist from New York City. They knew where a six was just a riot at the Capitol. And if you think about what our Declaration of Independence says, it says to overthrow tyrants before you ask. No, it was not the suggestion from 2018 that the wildfires in California were started because of Pacific Gas and Electric Rothschild, Inc. And former California Governor Jerry Brown conspired to fire lasers from space. The breaking point for the House Freedom Caucus was apparently this heated exchange you see playing out here between Marjorie Taylor Greene and the other person. Colorado Congressman Lauren Boebert Greene accused Boebert. At this time, we are told from reporting later on of copying her article of impeachment and reportedly called her a little bee. Congresswoman Greene refused to comment on her status in the House Freedom Caucus, but said in a statement in part, quote, In Congress, I served northwest Georgia first and I serve no group in Washington. Joining me now to discuss and laughing as I was reading that is Scott Jennings, former special assistant to President George W Bush. And Bakari Sellers, former Democratic state rep from South Carolina, and the host of the Bakari Sellers, Good. Okay. Well, then I'll go to start The Son of a bee. You can doing it is hilarious. Somebody to watch. I kid do that. Scott, what happened to the 11th Commandment from Ronald Reagan? Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican. Now we've got the House Freedom Caucus kicking out Marjorie Taylor Greene. Yeah. I wonder if this is really the thing or if the fact that she's actually been a pretty good ally of Kevin McCarthy. I mean, she stood with Kevin McCarthy. She helped him become the speaker. She voted with him on the debt deal. He's used her a lot here. He's got a narrow majority, and they're using this as the trigger point. But I actually wonder if it is they don't like the fact that she's, you know, become a card carrying member of the establishment in the House right now. It definitely shows how fractured House Republicans are. Oh, they're a mess. I mean, look, you know, there's an old saying, my father would say that if you never argue with the full because people watching can't tell the difference. And when you look at that, I mean, you just can't tell the difference of what's happening. And when you when you just sit back and you understand the dialog that was happening between the two. It just shows that the they the decorum between Congresswoman Boebert and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene is below that and below the dignity of the United States Congress. When I was growing up, I'm sure when Scott was growing up, he's older than I am, but substantially. But regardless, when when we were growing up, I think we held the United States Congress to a higher esteem. The individuals who served us, we believe them to be carrying themselves with the decorum and the dignity. And these two ladies simply have not been able to do that. And by exchanging that type of terminology, by exchanging that type of rhetoric on the floor, by calling somebody else to to quote you, Caitlin, a little be that that is just it's below the dignity of office. And I think all Americans, Democrats and Republicans alike, should have some shame and that it's over. Who got to file impeachment articles first against President Biden? On another issue, though, on the campaign trail of who may be president next. We have learned from the dissent, his campaign that they've raised $20 million in the six weeks or so since he has entered the race. That came after we learned Trump raised about $35 million. That's a lot of money for DeSantis $20 million in those six weeks. But he has had a series of missteps on the campaign trail. Is that enough to make up for it. Well and you add it to what he brought into the race from Florida he's got plenty of money to communicate. I mean, you know, the higher you climb in these campaigns, the less money matters. You do. You have enough to communicate? You have enough to operate. Obviously he does. Obviously Trump does. I worry about the rest of the campaigns having enough money to and oxygen to last, but he's got plenty of money to get his message out there. The question for him is not money. It's. Is there an audience for this? And right now, Donald Trump, so dominant in the primary that no amount of money may be enough. And and obviously, he's fighting hard and he's bringing up some issues right now. But Trump's been hard to dislodge so far. And the money has not deterred the other non-Trump candidates. That's his first mission, is to get rid of everybody else. Ron DeSantis has one singular problem. It's the more that people meet him, the less they like him. I compare. Florida excluded, Florida excluded, probably. And I think many people in Florida, once they actually he didn't have to run again. I mean, you and I could have beaten Charlie Crist. That's a whole nother story. But but Ron DeSantis is not a very likable politician. He does not do well in retail politics. People like his policy. I think certain people like his policy. They just don't like the person. And I believe we're seeing him turn into Scott Walker. We're seeing him turn to Tim Pawlenty. I don't know if viewers remember those names, but at one point, in time, they were the next big thing. Everybody thought they were the frontrunner to be the GOP nominee. But they they turned into Icarus. They flew too close to the sun. So DeSantis is actually just on Fox before we came on air and he was asked why he's not resonating with voters. It was really fascinating. This is what he said I've also been attacked more than anybody, as you know. Well, you know, Donald Trump has spent over 20 million attacking me. That's more than he spent supporting Republican candidates. In last year's midterm election. You can't win with just Republican voters. I think we showed in Florida, you know, if you want a big victory, you got to win independent voters. You got to win people who haven't voted for our party in the last several cycles. I've shown I can do that, and I think we can do it nationally. Is he doing stuff to do that, though, to appeal to independent voters and people who haven't voted for Republicans? Well, look, he's got to win a Republican primary first, but his electoral success in Florida came on the backs of a lot of independents and a lot of Democrats. And he flipped some big areas in Florida that traditionally vote Democrat. So he has a history of doing that. But you can't get to that part of the game unless you win the Republican primary and the issues that resonate in the Republican primary right now. He is hitting on again, though, I just go back to Trump's got half the party. The other half wants to do something else. And you got a whole bunch of people that are fighting for that second half. It's not Trump. He's got to dispatch the rest of the field. The problem is that most Americans know him to be 58. Most Americans know him to be the governor of Florida. Who's not Donald Trump, who fought against Mickey Mouse and lost. And so when those are the characteristics people know you for, you have to stand for something. And he doesn't stand for anything right now in his presidential primary. Bakari Sellers, Scott Jennings, thanks for keeping this panel so pure. Tonight, we're going to send. Exactly.
