Republican cat fight!
I'm looking forward to seeing the Republicans take over the House in January. It will turn into a battle of the wackadoodles and provide a lot of entertainment in the years leading up to the 2024 election. LOL

Greene and Boebert trade public barbs over McCarthy, ‘space lasers’
Tension between conservative firebrand Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has spilled into public view, with the two trading barbs over House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) Speakership ambitions, controversial and fringe statements Greene has made, and Boebert’s narrow reelection.
A comment from Boebert about Greene during an interview on Monday alongside Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) launched the testy and public back-and-forth between the two lawmakers.
“You know, I’ve been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in,” Boebert told conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at a Turning Point USA conference when asked about Greene’s support for McCarthy. “I don’t believe in this, just like I don’t believe in Russian space lasers — Jewish space lasers and all of this.”....

They pick and chose what to “believe in”, like it’s Santa Claus not a piece of data.

Boebert Says Omnibus Should Be Priority, Not 'Engaging in Senseless Fights'
Lauren Boebert has called on Republicans to focus on opposing a proposed government funding bill over smaller spats, amid her own back and forth with House colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene.
A $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill was introduced by leading members of both parties in Washington on Tuesday morning, around 1:30 a.m. ET, aimed at preventing a government shutdown once the current funding plan expires on Friday night. According to CNN, the text of the bill is over 4,000 pages, and given the short timeframe left to avert a shutdown, there is some concern among lawmakers that there will not be sufficient time to review it.
Hours after the bill was released, Boebert, an outspoken far-right Republican from Colorado, posted a tweet calling for the GOP to unify in opposition to the omnibus bill, instead of focusing on pettier squabbles. While she did not explicitly specify her issues with the bill, her tweet indicated that she most likely took exception with its price tag...
...While also not explicitly mentioned in her tweet, Boebert seemed to be referencing her recent public trading of barbs with Greene, her fellow far-right firebrand of Georgia. Greene's recent endorsement of Kevin McCarthy for Speaker of the House raised eyebrows among her peers, with Boebert speaking out against it in a recent interview with Charlie Kirk and referencing Greene's oft-mocked conspiratorial musings.
"Well you know, I've been aligned with Marjorie and accused of believing a lot of the things that she believes in," Boebert said. "I don't believe in this, just like I don't believe in Russian space lasers, Jewish space lasers, and all of this."
