Boebert vs. MTG: Better They Harm Each Other Than Harm Us

Republican Congresswomen Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene have both made many incendiary statements and in so doing have made a great many enemies while in public office.

Now they have publicly turned their ire on each other. The source of their disagreement is Kevin McCarthy. Greene supports his bid for House Speaker and Boebert does not. 

On Monday, Boebert told Charlie Kirk“I don’t believe in this. Just like I don’t believe in Russian space lasers, Jewish space lasers, all of this.” in a shot at Greene's Facebook posts before she was elected to Congress in which she blamed Jews for starting forest fires in California with lasers from out of space. 

Now evidently Boebert was not too happy with Greene attending a white supremacist featuring defeated, former President Trump's future dinner companion Nick Fuentes and got into a shouting match with Greene back in April. Mind you, nearly a year ago, Boebert confronted a group of Orthodox rabbis visiting Capitol Hill and asked them if they were doing "reconnaissance".

For her part, Greene took to Twitter later that day:

I’ve supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. President Trump has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. Kevin McCarthy has supported and donated to Lauren Boebert. She just barely came through by 500 votes.

For bad measure, Greene actually accused Boebert of behaving "childishly" and engaging in "high school drama." Boebert is certainly a childish drama queen but this is from a woman who only yesterday claimed Walmart was "perverted" and "grooming" children for selling sex toys.

But fine with me. Let them fight. Better they harm each other than harm us. 

Of course, the voters bear some responsibility for the harm that has been done. After all these voters have seen fit to freely chose to elect these fools instead of responsible citizens.

The fact is they will be in Congress for at least the next two years. Will they continue to fight each other resulting in a major schism in the MAGAverse? Or, in a couple of months of time, will they once again stand shoulder to shoulder during President Biden's State of the Union address to see which one will be first to heckle the President while he speaks of his deceased son.
