(DCWatchdog.com) – Republican US Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene blasted her GOP colleague Lauren Boebert for allegedly leaking to the media their private conversation in which Greene called Boebert a “little bitch.”
Greene (R-GA) and Boebert (R-CO) fell out over the Colorado congresswoman’s filing of articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden after her Georgia colleague had initiated her own last month.
The conflict between them was reported by The Daily Beast, which quoted three unnamed sources, including two direct witnesses.
It remains unknown whether Boebert actually leaked the conversation, as MTG claims, The Hill reports.
“I find it unfortunate that Lauren Boebert leaked that conversation that we had to the press. But once she leaked it out, I had to confirm that that’s, in fact, what I said,” Greene told the Fox News program “MediaBuzz” on Sunday.
Greene later confirmed the tense exchange after Boebert tried to force a House vote on her impeachment resolution.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy prevented the vote, and instead, her motion was advanced for discussions in two committees.
Greene first filed articles of impeachment against Biden on the day after he was inaugurated. She reintroduced the motion in May for the new Congress.
“But here’s the real issue, I’ve introduced articles of impeachment, and each time I do so, along with my other bills, I communicate with all of my Republican colleagues and ask for support by asking their co-sponsorship, because I co-sponsor many other Republicans’ bills,” Greene said.
“To pass things on the House floor, we have to get 218 votes, and that means that we have to work together. I’d asked her to co-sponsor my articles of impeachment against Joe Biden on the border, and she never responded and, apparently, refused to do so,” she explained.
“Then, when she introduced her own and forced them to the floor with a privilege resolution – without even having the courage to talk to any other Republican in our conference before doing so except Speaker McCarthy and, apparently, a few others – yes, we had a tense conversation when she confronted me about things I had said about it,” the Georgia Republican concluded.
