'It's none of your business!': Freedom Caucus member loses cool when asked about MTG's ouster

WASHINGTON — Republicans in the U.S. House got a slow start this week, not holding their first vote until 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday after being gone over the Independence Day holiday week.

But behind the scenes were more spats over Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and what really happened in the House Freedom Caucus. Greene herself says she still hasn't been officially told she's been booted, despite caucus members reportedly making the decision last month.

And it's not known who, if anybody, voted against the member’s removal.

"Ask her," Ralph Norman (R-SC) told reporters asking about it outside the Capitol. He was judgmental when it came to questions about what happened with Greene. Raw Story asked what the Freedom Caucus meant to him, and he rattled off a few issues, so Raw Story asked if transparency was no longer a part of that.

"Yes, it's part of it," Norman said.

"Is it?" askedanother reporter. "Is it in the Freedom Caucus Bylaws that you can throw a member of the Freedom Caucus out?"

"Any organization's got a mechanism for dis-relocating somebody," said Norman.

As of Tuesday morning, Greene still hasn't been told formally by the caucus that she'd been booted.

Caucus chair Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), when asked about Greene, he said he doesn't discuss Freedom Caucus "personnel decisions." As a fact-check, a caucus member isn't an employee or member of personnel.

Perry was asked about Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD), who was the member who first shared that she'd be expelled.

"I like Andy Harris. I think he's a good guy," said Perry.

The rules for the Freedom Caucus state that for a member to be expelled, there must be a vote. Not having such a vote would break the rules. But it doesn't say that the results of that vote need to be public.

Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) refused to give any more details, saying "No comment!" before losing his temper.

"Why is the chair unable to confirm whether she was voted out," another reporter asked.

"Because it's his business!" yelled Harris. "It's none of your business! It's our business! It's none of your business!"

The sudden outburst drew chuckles from those standing near him.

"I'm sorry, all that's going on in the world, you guys are worried about — that's why nobody likes the press anymore!" Harris continued ranting.

"We've got a war going on!" Harris shouted. "And you're worried about this? Come on. Come on. No comment. Come on, guys."

Harris then rushed away.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said that a person has "to work really hard to get kicked out of the Freedom Caucus. It's like getting kicked out of the bar in Star Wars, right? Like, you really have to really, really try hard. They're the fringe of the fringe. For them to throw her out, I don't know what that says about them or her."

When asked about the refusal to be transparent about what happened, Swalwell said that they should be as forthcoming with the public as they would want others to be with them.
