Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked for saying she hates drama: 'It’s her stock in trade'
July 13, 2023
MSNBC host Chris Jansing took a swipe at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) Thursday for her recent removal from the House Freedom Caucus.
Speaking to both Capitol reporter Garrett Haake and former GOP Speaker aide Branden Buck, Jansing said that the feud hasn't yet made it to the celebrity gossip pages.
"This is a very kind of high school cafeteria storyline, as it has been for the last week or so now," quipped Haake. "The freedom caucus doesn't publish their membership, and they have been trying to not talk about this too much."
But it's a fact that Raw Story confirmed on Wednesday when known Freedom Caucus members outright yelled at reporters to "mind your own business.
"It's clear they have become fed up with some of the activities of Marjorie Taylor Greene that, frankly, frustrated Democrats in the last Congress," Haake continued.
Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), a Freedom Caucus member, told MSNBC that Greene has "consistently" been a problem for the caucus by attacking several members, not only Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO).
Haake said Democrats are quietly nodding as if to say, "I told you so."
Greene told Raw Story on Wednesday, "I don't care. I can't say that loudly enough."
That might be why Buck doesn't see any changes on the horizon.
"In some ways, she's bigger than the Freedom Caucus," he said. "What I'll be curious to see, though, is her entire brand is about being controversial. It's not being the teacher's pet. She's going to have to break out a little bit of that, and see if it comes back to bite Kevin McCarthy. The Freedom Caucus is going to be a problem with McCarthy. They exist to do that. It only takes four or five to cause a real headache. I expect the road ahead is going to be quite difficult with or without her on his side."
"She said I don't have time for the drama club, but drama is her stock in trade," Jansing zinged.
Meanwhile, Greene has been pressing her amendments to the defense reauthorization to remove any funding for gender-affirming care for American soldiers and withdraw Ukraine funding.
