No, not out of her depth or mind - that's already been fully documented.
No, she's been disinvited from further participation in the Freedom Caucus.
The New York Post:
Republican aides confirmed that Greene was ejected from the hardline caucus just weeks after she cursed out fellow member Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.), calling her a “little bitch” on the House floor. A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done,” Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) told Politico, adding that it was “an appropriate action.” “I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” Harris added.
Who said chivalry is dead?
“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert in an exchange caught on C-SPAN. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”
The final throw-down …
"OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Boebert responded with a shrug. “We were never together,” Greene retorted.
Wow, this is better than Disraeli and Gladstone!
Allegedly, infuriated by Disraeli in Parliamentary debate, Gladstone said: “Mr. Disraeli, you will probably die by the hangman’s noose or a vile disease.” Disraeli replied: “Sir, that depends upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress.”
The firebrand congresswoman, who joined the Freedom Caucus after being elected to Congress in 2020, had broken with the right flank of her party in recent months over debt-ceiling negotiations and her support for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
There're serious consequences to flouting the Freedom Caucus' Charter and By-Laws.
If she really wants to push their sh ... buttons, she'll caucus with the Democrats.
