Marjorie Taylor Greene, the outspoken Republican congresswoman from Georgia, has finally responded to her recent ousting from the House Freedom Caucus. As reported earlier this week, Greene was removed from the conservative group due to her contentious behavior towards fellow member Rep. Lauren Boebert. However, details about the consequences of her removal were scarce, and there was no initial reaction from Greene or her office.

According to sources, Greene has been avoiding calls from HFC members who have been trying to notify her of the group’s decision. Even Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry attempted to reach out to her, but to no avail. It seems Greene is unwilling to engage in a conversation with her colleagues about their grievances with her behavior, leading to the vote being held without her input.
While Greene has not directly commented on her ousting, she did release a statement asserting that she serves “Northwest Georgia first and serves no group in Washington.” However, another board member of the HFC hinted that a conversation with Greene might be possible in the future, potentially mending the rift between her and the conservative group.
Yet, another board member made it clear that Greene’s removal was not up for negotiation. It appears that her absence from future HFC meetings is now definite. Being voted out of a conservative congressional group is undoubtedly significant for a conservative congresswoman like Greene. It remains to be seen how this will affect her position and influence in the coming weeks.
What is striking is Greene’s unusual silence on the matter. Known for her outspokenness and disregard for political correctness, her lack of response has left many wondering what she might have to say about her ousting. Will she address it in a speech or release a more detailed statement? Only time will tell. In the meantime, perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to send a prayer or two her way.
Greene’s removal from the House Freedom Caucus is certainly a noteworthy development. As a conservative Republican, it’s important to closely follow these internal disputes within the party. While it’s crucial for individuals to stand up for their beliefs and values, maintaining unity within conservative groups is equally important in order to effectively advance the conservative agenda. Hopefully, Greene and the Freedom Caucus can find common ground and move forward in a constructive manner.
