A new report frames the rift between Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia as growing wider every day.
āA fistfight could break out at any moment,ā Republican Rep.Ā Tim BurchettĀ of Tennessee said, according to the Daily Beast.
Burchett, who called himself a āprofessional wrestling fan,ā sounded bemused by the situation.
āI am friends with both of them. Itās entertaining to think that a fistfight could break out at any movement. I kind of dig that,ā he said.
Greene called Boebert a ālittle b***hā in a well-recounted episode on the House floor after alleging that Boebert tried to steal Greeneās thunder on the subject of impeaching President Joe Biden.
The other major issue touched on in the Daily Beast report was Greeneās expulsion from the House Freedom Caucus, which the report said Boebert helped expedite. Boebert refused to comment on her Freedom Caucus vote on the subject of removing Greene.
The report also said the Republican Rep. Matt Rosendale of Montana was a leading force behind Greeneās ouster, something he denied.
āI will tell you thatās false,ā he said about being a leader to oust Greene. āThat premise is false.ā
Greene pushed back when asked about the vote to remove her.
āDude, do you do anything besides report on complete drama and bulls**t?ā she said. āNo, Iām serious.ā
A report from Newsweek noted that Boebert supported several of Greeneās amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act last week, all of which went down to defeat.
However, the Daily Beast reported several sources it did not name as saying tensions are getting worse.
āYou canāt have too many of these rifts for too long,ā what the site said was a Republican legislator said.
One unnamed source the Daily Beast said was a GOP legislator said the battle will be to the end.
āThey will be nailing that coffin shut, and one of them is still in there kicking and screaming,ā the unnamed source said.
Republican Rep.Ā Paul Gosar of Arizona called the rift Ā a ātwo-way sword.ā
āI just think that whatever is there, could be utilized both ways,ā he said, adding āpeople make decisions that they have to work and live by, and you kind of hate being in their shoes.ā
Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado recently said Greene is ānot a member of the Freedom Caucus and she shouldnāt be in the future,ā according to Newsweek.
āShe has consistently attacked other members of the Freedom Caucus in an irresponsible way and as a result of that she was kicked out of the Freedom Caucus and she should not be a member,ā Buck added.
