The chairman of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus unloaded on Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) in an interview.
Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) called out the Georgia Republican as a "fraud" and "useful idiot," saying she lacked support and trust among her fellow lawmakers, in an interview with the outlet Halal Flow.
"Marjorie Taylor Greene has demonstrated that she'll say anything to smear or attack or lie about those to whom she has a personal vendetta or a grievance against," Good said. "Marjorie Taylor Greene showed herself to be the fraud that she is when she unconditionally supported the former speaker [Kevin McCarthy] a year ago, and then, of course, she got lots of blowback against her because she had positioned herself as a brand of, somehow, anti-establishment and a change agent in Washington, and then she unconditionally supported the former speaker that was obviously very unpopular with her base. She then smeared and lied against those of us who were fighting to prevent the former speaker from getting elected back in January."
"She was then subsequently kicked out of the Freedom Caucus because of her behavior," added Good, who was elected last month to lead the caucus. "She knows very little about the Freedom Caucus, she is an island unto herself now. She was kind of a useful idiot at the hands of the former speaker back in January to try to help him become speaker. Now she's kind of isolated herself, she has no support among the membership, and so she lies and smears and attacks others."
