Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pounced on Rep. Lauren Boebert after calling her a “s***” and the right-wing Freedom Caucus that kicked her out, in a scathing retelling of her own role in the congressional chaos.
Months ago, Greene was ousted from the nearly 50-member Freedom Caucus, a group of Republicans committed to upending the agenda and who have become a thorn in the side of the GOP establishment.
“I still never understood why they would throw out someone like me and keep Ken Buck,” Greene said in an interview with ahead of the release of her new book, “MTG,” out Tuesday. “Buck is now widely hated by Republicans, especially among the base.”

The removal came after Greene Boebert, R-Colo., called a “little scumbag” in the House for copying her Biden impeachment articles about the southern border.
Greene claimed she had been trying to be a “friend” with Boebert for a “very long time.”
“She always made it very clear that she wanted to keep her distance from me. “And I never understood that,” Greene said.
In an exclusive excerpt from the book obtained by , Greene says the Freedom Caucus voted to remove her on June 23, 2023 – after many members had already flown home for a week and she was away, to “defend yourself.”
Later in the House during the week’s final votes, “not a single HFC member came up to me to tell me,” she said. “I found out about her vote on Twitter.”
Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry said at the time that he tried to reach Greene to inform her about the vote, but “I didn’t receive a single call or text message from Scott Perry,” Greene said.
Greene had just introduced articles of impeachment against President Biden. She asked the Freedom Caucus and Boebert to co-sponsor these articles, but Boebert introduced her own instead.
“She told leadership she had to do it to support her end-of-quarter fundraising,” Greene writes.
Boebert’s 2024 challenger, Democrat Adam Frisch, significantly outperformed her in the third quarter: $3.4 million to $854,000.
“I told the media that she had copied my articles of impeachment,” Greene continued. “Lauren came up to me on the House floor and demanded that I explain the comments I made to the press, whereupon I called her a “little bitch” to her face. After I told her what I thought of her, I told Lauren to shut up.’
The two firebrand right-wing women both entered Congress in 2021, but Greene resisted any comparison of the two.

“I called her a ‘little bitch’ to her face. “After I told her what I thought of her, I told Lauren to shut up,” Greene said of her argument with Boebert
“The only similarity between us is our election results,” she said. “We are actually extremely different types of people.”
“She’s a serial liar,” Greene said. “She lied about missing votes… She got caught steaming in front of a pregnant woman and groping her date in a public movie theater, then she got caught lying about it and she’s over too the situation with me lied.”
There is no love lost between Greene and the Freedom Caucus.
“I think I’m better off as a free agent without the Freedom Caucus, which unfortunately I often find to be a hypocrite.”
“Buck is more interested in dabbling in interviews for CNN than working hard in Congress and being a real conservative, but Freedom Caucus keeps people like Ken Buck,” she continued, continuing to ponder her exit from the caucus which she was once the most visible face.
“I’m not entirely sure why they did that.”
The book spans her congresswoman’s entire career, with highlights from Jan. 6, when she said Democrats were “hysterical” and Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., offered to save her from rioters because he had a gun in the House had.

She insults out-of-shape and elderly congressmen who tried to escape the rioters swarming the floor: “Imagine Jerry Nadler trying to get to safety!”
Additionally, she talks about being kicked off committees under Democrats in 2021 and how she instead tried to exert influence by forcing registered votes instead of ballots, which delayed the passage of Democrat-led legislation – only to to be punished by senior Republicans who did this and don’t want to waste their time.
The Republican was kicked off all of her committees by Democrats – and eleven Republicans – in 2021 because of her past racist and conspiracy theory comments.
She later apologized for her comments, saying on the House floor that they “do not represent” her.
Greene says she wrote the book herself to reflect her experiences in Congress in her own words.
“Since I entered Congress in January 2021, the media has essentially created a character of me that doesn’t exist,” she said. “Some people call me the infamous MTG, so to speak.”
“Ever since I became this person, I really wanted to tell the real stories and spread my own policies and views.”
When it comes to her ambitions for the future, Greene remains cautious. She said she hasn’t heard much from former President Donald Trump about who he might choose as his running mate, despite their regular conversations.
“I will serve President Trump in any capacity he desires,” she said. “But right now I’m very committed to my district.”
