'Threw me under the bus': Marjorie Taylor Greene turns on Lauren Boebert

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/threw-me-under-the-bus-marjorie-taylor-greene-turns-on-lauren-boebert/ar-AA15uBDE

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene posted a series of tweets Monday attacking fellow conservative lawmaker Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado.

Greene normally takes to social media to attack more mainstream Republicans like Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney or Democratic politicians, such as earlier this month when she called California state Sen. Scott Wiener a "communist groomer" after Wiener condemned the term as anti-LGBTQ hate speech. An attack on Boebert — whose ideological views, like Greene's, often border on the fringe — represents a rare shift in Greene's use of the pulpit.

"I’ve supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. President Trump has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. She just barely came through by 500 votes," Greene said Monday, referring to Boebert's narrow victory over her Democratic challenger in last month's midterm elections. "She gladly takes our [money] but when she’s been asked: Lauren refuses to endorse President Trump, she refuses to support Kevin McCarthy, and she childishly threw me under the bus for a cheap sound bite."
...
"I've been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in," Boebert said. "I don't believe in this just like I don't believe in ... Jewish space lasers."

I can them them standing and staring each other down in the halls of congress as lawmakers scurry out and duck into meeting rooms in a mad rush. Facing off, both woman's eyes narrow, hands twitching on their pocketbooks as they dare each other to make the first move.

Finally, MTG fumbles the clasp on her purse, but Boebert is faster. Both women empty their Glocks but neither is able to hit the other one because they only carried guns as props to garner votes.

Just like that, the great anticlimactic cowgirl gunfight is over, leaving a cloud of smoke as they live to ride away return to shooting off their ignorant big mouths as usual.

The End.

Sucking on exhaust pipes and cavorting with catalytic converter gangs under the bus should feel like Home Sweet Home.
