MTG Takes Shot At Rep. Matt Gaetz

Ever since her divorce, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been acting compromised.

In her latest attack against American first candidates, MTG took a nasty jab against Rep. Matt Gaetz after he congratulated her.

Gaetz tweeted “Bravo MTG!  Rep. MTG of Georgia is back on committee assignments now that Republicans have retaken the House and the Rep. Gaetz-led revolt has put some steel in McCarthy’s spine.”

MTG would respond by showering McCarthy with thanks and then hint that Gaetz refusal to vote for Kevin McCarthy has delayed the House’s plan.

Take a look:

Thanks to @SpeakerMcCarthy & Steering for voting me on the committees I requested on the submission form most of us filled out.

Too bad we’re weeks behind after you spent a week only getting MTV from 5 to 1.

As the leading MAGA voice in Congress, I look forward to committees. https://t.co/2dOYSPu2NK

The Washington Examiner added more details:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) rebuffed a compliment from Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) on her committee assignments, blaming him for delaying congressional business by holding up the vote for House speaker.

Gaetz congratulated Greene on her committee assignments after Democrats blocked her from serving on any panels during her first term. Gaetz and Greene, while both occupying the most conservative wing of the Republican Party, found themselves on opposing sides of the dramatic speakership race that went 15 ballots before Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was elected.

“She’s going to do amazing work for the people on these key committees she has EARNED,” he tweeted.

She responded, “Thanks to [Speaker McCarthy] & Steering for voting me on the committees I requested on the submission form most of us filled out. Too bad we’re weeks behind after you spent a week only getting [the motion to vacate] from 5 to 1. As the leading MAGA voice in Congress, I look forward to committees.”

Greene was a top ally of McCarthy throughout the speakership standoff, urging fellow hard-line members to vote for him. McCarthy had to convince 20 GOP holdouts to change their votes, which took four days of intense negotiations that included lowering the number of members necessary to bring a vote to remove the speaker from five to one. In the end, Gaetz and the five other final holdouts changed their votes to “present,” allowing McCarthy to take the gavel with a 216-vote majority, opposed to the 218 if they were all voting for someone else.

Gaetz’s approach to fellow Republicans he clashed with during the election has been to make nice. He forgave Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL), who had to be physically restrained from approaching him after Gaetz held up the 14th ballot McCarthy was expected to win.

Previously MTG called the 20 Republicans who refused to vote for Rep. Kevin McCarthy destructionists:

Marge: “If my friends in the Freedom Caucus, Matt Gaetz and others .. they’re proving to the country that they don’t care about doing the right thing for America .. they’re just destructionists. That’s why Repubs fail, and I’m really tired of it. 🎥 RSBN pic.twitter.com/T1gMvN8uOI

Has MTG gone full establishment?
