Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is lashing out at one of her Republican colleagues with new a nickname after he voted against her censure resolution.
After the House voted to table her motion to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), the Georgia congresswoman vented her frustration with Republicans who voted against the measure.
In a tweet on Thursday, Greene responded to Rep. Chip Roy’s (R-Texas) explanation of why he voted to table the resolution.
“You voted to kick me out of the freedom caucus, but keep CNN wannabe Ken Buck and vaping groping Lauren Boebert and you voted with the Democrats to protect Terrorist Tlaib,” she wrote on X, formerly Twitter, adding, “You hate Trump, certified Biden’s election, and could care less about J6 defendants being persecuted.”

Greene’s comment refers to an incident involving Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) earlier this year when she was caught on camera vaping and getting handsy with her date at a performance of the play “Beetlejuice.”
Speaking to reporters, Roy responded to Greene’s post as he said, “Tell her to go chase so-called Jewish space lasers if she wants to spend time on that sort of thing.”

The Georgia representative fired back, “Oh shut up Colonel Sanders, you’re not even from Texas, more like the DMV. Chip Roy’s career exist of working for politicians, working for campaigns for politicians, and being a politician himself.”
“Unity Party all the way! Which is why you will never hold anyone accountable,” she added.
