Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is the first member to be kicked out of the House Freedom Caucus.
Yet she does not appear to be remorseful about the incident that reportedly led to her ouster.
On Thursday, The Daily Mail tweeted, “Marjorie Taylor Greene KICKED OUT of her caucus for calling Lauren Boebert a ‘b***’ and backing Kevin McCarthy.”

The account of Greene’s podcast “Battleground” shared the tweet but added a correction as it wrote, “Lil b****.”

The tweet comes after Freedom Caucus board member Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.) told Politico on Thursday, “A vote was taken to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Freedom Caucus for some of the things she’s done.”
“I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members,” he explained.
When asked if Greene had formally been removed, Harris said, “As far as I know, that is the way it is.”
The decision to oust Greene comes after she had a spat with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on the House floor.
“I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little b**** to me,” the Georgia congresswoman reportedly said.
She added, “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.”
“OK, Marjorie, we’re through,” Boebert responded.
