‘I Am Furious’: Greene Blasts Her ‘Supposed Friends’ in Freedom Caucus Over Opposition to McCarthy

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is fuming at her colleagues in the House Freedom Caucus over their opposition to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) bid for speaker.

Greene, who has been a vocal supporter of McCarthy, spoke to reporters on Tuesday about conservative lawmakers opposed to his bid for speaker. She expressed frustration those in opposition did not use their negotiations to try to extract a benefit for her.

“I haven’t asked for one thing for myself, and I’m the only Republican that has zero committees,” the congresswoman said. “So you would think I would be the one in there asking for something. But I haven’t done that.”

She went on, “But I find out that its my Freedom Caucus colleagues and my supposed friends went and did that. And they asked nothing for me. Nothing. That’s what I found out in there. I am furious.”

In October, Greene told The New York Times she would like to be on the House Oversight Committee or House Judiciary Committee when Republicans are in the majority.

“I think that to be the best speaker of the House and to please the base, he’s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway,” she said of McCarthy, adding, “And if he doesn’t, they’re going to be very unhappy about it. I think that’s the best way to read that. And that’s not in any way a threat at all. I just think that’s reality.”

Her comments on Tuesday come as the House was scheduled to vote to choose the new speaker.

The process could be a spectacle not seen in 100 years
