Members of the House Freedom Caucus discussed potentially ousting Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) from the conservative group during a closed-door meeting on Friday morning, three sources familiar with the conversation confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: The discussion comes in the wake of Greene taking aim at Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Co.) on the House floor, where Greene called the Colorado Republican a “nasty little b***h” after Boebert introduced competing impeachment resolutions.
Two sources said they felt Greene’s behavior was “unprofessional,” with one critic arguing that members are becoming increasingly frustrated with the Georgia conservative for a variety of reasons.
“No decisions were made,” one GOP lawmaker said, adding that the group had a “wide-ranging” discussion on a variety of topics.
Three GOP lawmakers cast doubt that an ouster would actually take place, noting some long-standing members have reservations about the move and a removal would require an 80% majority.
The intrigue: Conservative critics beyond Boebert have taken issue with Greene shifting from being one of leadership’s leading critics to a vocal ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

MTG has been assimilated to the DC Borg. Now a McCarthyite.
FC should be filing motions to vacate the chair instead of this nonsense. Get rid of McCarthy first and then do what you want with the Neanderthal woman.
I agree with you on all your points, Gulliver.
McCarthy seems merely to be sprawled out on his longboard right now, treading water, watching the surf and waiting for a nice set of “public opinion” waves that he expects to come in.
When he mounts up to ride the wave of his choice, Biden will know he’s toast.
I hope our Free Republic isn’t irreparably destroyed by the time Kev gets his dream wave.
What a disappointment she has become over the last few months. I wonder if MTG was bought or blackmailed, or a little of both.
Kayfabe!!! And figures the GOPe would get rid of members with balls...
That makes two of us.
She says Larry really well on Kudlow. Nose breather. IMO. F. her
Fascinating thread. I wonder where the Trump Trolls went. Then again, he never was really good at picking people.

It’s the scent of closeness to power…. it can be intoxicating.
She turned on us.
MTG lost me along time ago. did nothing on GA vote fraud, flat out started attacking GA patriots like Lin Wood. did nothing to attack Rafflesnake, Karr, and Heir Kempf.
I think McCarthy is trying to set her up as the sacrificial lamb. I say take him out first and then get Large Marge.
MTG has jumped the shark.
“Fascinating thread.”
Why?
“I wonder where the Trump Trolls went”
Maybe nowhere? What are you talking about?
“he never was really good at picking people.”
What are you talking about?
Kick her bitch ass out the Freedom Caucus. MTG is an assistant Democrat now. She sided with McCarthy and voted to eliminate the debt ceiling. I really doesn’t get much worse than that in my book. It’s weak. It’s fiscally irresponsible. It causes inflation and allows unconstrained growth in government.
Marjorie is suffering from the ole “a little popularity is a dangerous thing.
Some people suffer from it because they are not...Prepared for it...or have the stones to accept it AND USE IT.
President Trump is a great example of someone who KNOW HOW TO BECOME POPULAR AND HOW TO USE IT.
He is the Master of it.
