Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican, was removed from the House Freedom Caucus on June 23, 2023. The majority of the group’s members voted for her removal. The vote took place before the current congressional recess.
The Freedom Caucus is a group of conservative Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives. They are known for challenging party leadership and advocating for limited government and individual liberty.
This is the first time a member of the Freedom Caucus has been expelled. The reasons behind the vote remain unclear, but it may be linked to Greene’s recent behavior. She had a verbal altercation with fellow Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert on the House floor.
Marjorie Taylor Greene has been a controversial figure since she was elected to Congress in 2020. She has made inflammatory statements, including endorsing conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.
Being removed from the Freedom Caucus is a significant blow to Greene’s political career. It will hinder her ability to fundraise and gain support for her legislative agenda. Additionally, it could impact her chances of re-election in 2022.
Greene’s next moves are uncertain. She might continue serving in Congress as an independent or join another conservative group. There is also a possibility of her running for office again in 2022, even without being a member of the Freedom Caucus.
