Greene is officially out! The House Freedom Caucus is known for being the few that hold their ground when going after conservative policies but they also set a high standard of decorum for their members. Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene apparently has not lived up to the standards of the committee and has been formally voted out. A House Freedom Caucus member claims the call to remove her was “an appropriate action, after some of the things she’s done.”
This is absurd.https://t.co/DlmSkV9ANd

Rep. Andy Harris from Maryland told Politico: “A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done. The vote was successful and consequently as far as I know, that is the way it is… that she is now formally out of the group.”
“Though tensions were already brewing within the Freedom Caucus, the formal vote came shortly after Greene and fellow caucus member Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) got into a heated clash on the House floor — details of which were quickly leaked to reporters,” reported Politico.
“I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to another fellow, especially female, members,” Harris said. Harris’ comment appears to refer to Greene reportedly calling Boebert a “little b*tch.”

“I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should,” Harris continued.
Greene made headlines this past week when she called on the GOP-controlled House to begin impeachment proceedings for Justice Department officials.
Greene believes that Attorney General Merrick Garland and U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves should be removed from office. She claims that Garland’s “refusal to prosecute Joe and Hunter Biden while persecuting President Trump and many conservatives is grounds for impeachment.”

“It’s absolutely unacceptable to allow these criminals to maintain power,” Greene Tweeted.
In another tweet, she reminded her followers that she moved to impeach President Joe Biden not long after he took office.
“I filed Articles of Impeachment on Joe Biden’s first full day in office,” she wrote. “We already knew many of the crimes he committed then, but now we know so much more in just 6 months of a Republican-led House thanks to the important investigative work being done on @GOPOversight.”
