Georgia Rep.Marjorie Taylor Greenelashed out at Rep.Lauren Boeberton Wednesday, accusing the Colorado congresswoman of “copying” her articles of impeachment against PresidentJoe Biden— and calling her “a little bitch” in front of their fellow lawmakers.
“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene told Boebert. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”
After Boebert responded with, “OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Greene then said, “We were never together."
Asked to confirm whether Greene called Boebert a “little bitch” and accused her of copying her impeachment resolution, Greene’s spokesperson told PEOPLE, “Yes.”
Boebert’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though the Colorado lawmaker toldThe Daily Beast: “Marjorie is not my enemy. I came here to protect our children and their posterity. Joe Biden and the Democrats are destroying our country. My priorities are to correct their bad policies and save America.”
Greene and Boebert have bothfrequently courted controversysince coming to Congress in 2021, in large part due to their fierce alliance with former PresidentDonald Trump.
