Wait, was it because she's too fascist or not fascist enough?
-
They're claiming it's because of what she said to Boebert, but it's probably because of how she's buddied up to McCarthy and they feel their job is to oppose him.
-
Probably neither:
"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Harris told Politico, referring to Greene's profane exchange with Boebert.
"I think the straw that broke the camel's back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should."
-
A little of column a, alittle of column b.
-
Yes.
-
yeah, gotta toe the baby bear porridge fascist level
-
Yes
-
Define Fascism.
-
a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
-
A political movement centered around freedom for the underside of that part of the roof which overhangs the rest of the building
Edit: or am I getting confused with that soffit sect of islam ?

I especially enjoyed when she tried to call a meeting to order and all the dems laughed at her. She's a clown. She should be ostracized like the joke that she is.
-
She shouldn't be anywhere near a Congressional seat.
-
clears throat HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA inhales HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
What a fucking kook. Even the other kooks think you're a fucking kook.
-
Too batshit crazy for the Freedom Caucus is batshit crazy indeed.
-
The only power she had was because she was aligned with these bozos and could be part of a voting bloc that Mccarthy needs to stay in power. Now that she's out in the cold she'll lose all her perks and privileges (and insider info on what stocks are going to crash tomorrow) . I doubt she even runs for reelection.

Breaking: Howler Monkey democratically voted out of enclosure by other monkeys

This is where they finally draw the line? They are ok with the Nazi shit, but can't call Boobert a bitch.

You need to understand, a good portion of the rights base sees the GOP as morally righteous Christians. Racism and homophobia are A-OK according the the bible (at least the parts they don't ignore). What matters to them is the GOP politicians appear to be the kind of person who never swears, rarely drinks (except beer), is morally pure in the bedroom (and if they aren't, it's just a crisis of faith), goes to bed early, and is working tirelessly to defend the country from the evil liberals and Joe Biden, who is somehow both a dementia-riddled invalid and also the anti-christ.
This is the kind of world view many of the rights supporters have. They don't particularly mind if you start promoting fascism or literally quote Hitler, as long as you still appear like the perfect example of someone living the 1960's American Dream. The kind of person who could be invited to the country club and is always helping at the church picnic.
But swearing?! One of the Stepford wives has caused a scene with her unchristian language and, my God, it's ruining the bake sale! She certainly won't be getting invites to any of the upcoming dinner parties.
-
I'm pretty sure all of them have put political campaign money towards those "Let's go Brandon" or less masked messages. It's not about the swearing, it's about the disloyalty. MTG doesn't have the "rank" to throw Boebert under the bus. If Trump did it they wouldn't have batted an eye.
-
-
Well, she said something true and they cannot allow that.
-
That's the thing, they're all nazis
-
Tribalism comes first.

"I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members," Sounds like the Freedom Caucus is against freedom of speech!
-
Its funny because the republican conception of free speech is basically 'you should be able to verbally abuse people you dont like'
-
-
I love it when the MAGA trash eat each other!
-
Wow this is literally against her first and second amendment rights!!!1!
When will the Biden/Clinton/Obama's end their reign of tyranny???
-
-
lol I love this.
-
-
How Marj, that white trash shit flinging gibbon with a face like a bleached asshole, managed to get herself anywhere near leadership to the PTA... let alone the US Government... will perpetually be a reminder about how insane Republicans are now lol.
-
Hey now, don't insult gibbons like that.
-
Apologies to my gibbon homies.
-
-
-
Sounds like leopards are eating faces again.
-
I heard it was the mail-in ballots that did her in.
-
It's hard to believe that someone is too insane for the HFC. They're all insane.
-
It's not about her being too insane, unfortunately. It's about her not towing the line.
-
Too fascist for the Fascist Caucus. I didn't know that was a possibility.
-
-
HA. HAHA.
HAHAHAHAHA.
That is all. That’s the comment.
-
Who knew watching a snake eat it’s own tail could be so fascinating.
-
So... this is like both a good and a bad thing simultaneously.
-
How so? {genuine question}
-
Basically, from what I've gathered, it could signal one of two things: 1.) MGT has mainlined her rhetoric so much that the truly far right think she's a "centrist," following McCarthy, etc. The Freedom Caucus doesn't like McCarthy and she's been whipping for him recently. 2.) The Freedom Caucus has dirt on her they plan to release ruining her re-election chances and thus are distancing themselves preemptively. This would be punishment for publicly feuding with Beobert.

-
Common MAGA Ls.
-
Now go after every committee she's on too. They'll never expel her entirely but they can remove her from anything even remotely important.

One good thing to come out of Reddit’s demise is that I hadn’t read her name in about three weeks.
I just realised how much MTG related coverage there was on Reddit.
She makes herself and republicans look bad, but still it’s wrong to give someone like her so much publicity. It’s like how CNN etc pumped up Trump by talking about him constantly in 2015.
@currychaos
For a minute I was scratching my head wondering how I missed all the Magic the Gathering coverage when I barely saw any 🤣
Sex and outrage are big sellers
I noticed a BUNCH of news and politics lemmy subs were created recently, and spamming depressing shit here like they did on reddit. Like, fuck off I don’t want to see that shit!
I mean yeah sure, except that she was ousted for being not fascist enough. So it's not like the group is somehow better now. It's all still just as fucked. But I enjoy seeing her kicked out of anything
