'You need to shut up': MTG ripped into Boebert after being accused of spitting on her
Following a report from the Daily Beast that Reps. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-GA) and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got into an argument on the House floor in which the Georgia Republican was heard calling her counterpart a "little b--ch," Greene sat down with Semafor to explain what went down.
In an interview with Kadia Goba, Greene said, "She has genuinely been a nasty little b--ch to me,” and complained that her House colleague was disrupting GOP efforts to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) with her desire to push the impeachment of President Joe Biden.
Speaking with Semafor, Greene complained that Boebert was only interested in promoting herself because she is trying to boost her fundraising, adding, "I told her exactly what I think about her.”
“It’s purely for fundraising,” Greene explained. “It's throwing out red meat so that people will donate to her campaign because she's coming up on the end of the month, and she's trying to produce good fundraising numbers.”
The report adds that Boebert also accused Greene of spitting on her.
"Greene said that at one point in the fight, parts of which were caught from afar on video, Boebert accused the Georgia lawmaker of accidentally spitting on her lip," Semafor's Goba wrote. "Then, toward the end of the exchange, Boebert tried to re-engage her, but she cut the conversation off. 'I said ‘you need to shut up because the only person that’s recognized to speak right now is Luna,' she told Semafor, referring to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., who was then giving a speech on the floor."
