Marjorie Taylor Greene swipes at Matt Gaetz over Kevin McCarthy speaker vote and declares herself 'the leading MAGA voice in Congress'
Business Insider ^ | January 18, 2023 | Omma Sadiq

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Wednesday rejected praise from fellow Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz for her new committee assignments and instead criticized him over the days-long House speaker battle to elect Rep. Kevin McCarthy earlier this month.

Gaetz commended Greene after she landed seats on the Homeland Security Committee and Oversight Committee, having previously been stripped of serving on congressional panels two years ago over her past inflammatory statements and promotion of conspiracy theories.

"She's going to do amazing work for the people on these key committees she has EARNED," Gaetz tweeted Wednesday.

"Too bad we're weeks behind after you spent a week only getting MTV from 5 to 1," Greene responded to Gaetz on Twitter, referencing negotiations that took place during the speaker battle about a rule that would allow one lawmaker rather than five to initiate a vote to oust the speaker, otherwise known as a "motion to vacate."

Unfortunately there was quite a bit of back and forth between the two listed at the link.

If I had to choose, Gaetz all the way, now.

I do not trust MTG. She is in it for herself.

MTG would do herself a favor by shutting her trap.

Yep, I’m not liking what I’m seeing or hearing from her. Sounds narcissistic.

This is so embarrassing. I’m sure the democrats just marvel at the stupidity. Is it any wonder the news show the republicans in a very poor light.

Business Insider has one agenda: divide, mock, and otherwise sabotage the conservative movement. Don’t fall for the trap!

Her being with Trump on the WRONG side of the speaker debate might earn her something from him. Not from me.

Well, yes. Very true.

What ticks me off about MTG, is that pre Covid she received the congressional briefing on how bad things were going to get, then liquidated her stock holdings. Not privy to that info, I almost lost my life savings. Also, investors did lose lots of money.

What she did was insider trading, and if you or I did that we would be in trouble.

Conservatives need to support each other not play into Democratic hands and tear other up.

I love her passion for MAGA, but Gaetz has passion and political organization operational expertise.

“..Trump on the WRONG side of the speaker debate...”

Trump was a McCarthy supporter throughout the debate.

How quickly she’s fallen. Seems that she had potential, but now I’m skeptical.

I sympathize with respect to your losses, but the information was out there, in plenty of time to make some moves.
It’s always harder to sell, than it is to buy, for the average investor.
Those of us who saw the signals, had meteoric gains in the following months.
I can’t fault MTG for doing what she did, I did the same.
