A headline in the Daily Beast proclaims, “Far Right Turns on Marjorie Taylor Greene—and MTG Hits Back in Text to Matt Gaetz.” The story explains how Greene — who to most people is the poster child of the lunatic fringe — has disappointed the uber-right’s wingnuts by voting yes on the McCarthy/Biden compromise to raise the debt ceiling for two years.
Has Greene realized that governing is not a game? Is she looking to be a sober-minded legislator acting for the country's well-being? Good God, no. In her DNA, Greene is a bomb thrower whose lifeblood is anger, antagonism, and victimhood. She is a domestic terrorist with a taste for anarchy.

In her assessment, she lives in the center of a dog-eat-dog world, where everyone is either her enemy, has the potential to be her enemy, or is a friend who will soon be an enemy. In this, she is the typical far-righter.
However, Greene has a longer-range view of her political career than most people credit her. She is not one of the congressional dead-enders whose career plans are either to ram the iceberg — like the nihilistic Paul Gosar — or to secure a job in the right-wing media — like the dilettante Matt Gaetz.
Greene’s steadfast support of McCarthy in his 15-round quest to be Speaker illuminates her lust for power. Kevin rewarded Majorie's fidelity by returning her from the exile of her first term, and granting her seats on the Homeland Security Committee and the Oversight and Accountability Committee, the GOP House’s version of the Spanish Inquisition.
However, this tending to her prospects does not mean that Greene has walked away from her QAnon-style insanity. She remains a conspiracy theorist of the first order. She maintains the Capitol insurrection was a Pelosi family cash grab.
Her evidence for that absurdity is that Nancy’s daughter, Alexandra, was filming in the Capitol during the riot. She explained her reasoning on Real America’s Voice — a streaming, cable, and satellite television platform favored by Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Ted Nugent, and John Solomon.
Marjorie lays the groundwork for her insanity by claiming that on Jan 6, Pelosi’s only “responsibility and concern was the safety and security of the Capitol.” A responsibility she abjured, according to Greene, by ignoring security briefings and refusing to call in the National Guard.

"They used the situation. They totally threw out the ability to hide exits, for security reasons, in the Capitol. And they used it — they used that situation to film it, so their family could make millions of dollars later by selling the video footage in a documentary.
I believe that is one of the most abusive things and the biggest sign of corruption from Nancy Pelosi, that the American people will see thus far.
It shows who the real hypocrites are. And they had a lot more planned that they were going to do with January 6 than anyone even knew. And while all of us were confused of what was going on that day when the Capitol was breached, and had no idea what was going to happen, Nancy Pelosi clearly knew what was going on, and they had a plan the entire time."

It is raving lunancy.
Greene adds that despite being warned by many law enforcement agencies, Pelosi had her daughter there “camera in hand.” Why? Marjorie explains: “They have capitalized on the riot and made millions of dollars.
It is complete nonsense. Alexandra is a professional documentarian. The Pelosi documentary covers Nancy’s entire career. And however much HBO paid for “Pelosi in the House” I doubt it was “millions of dollars” - and they would have paid whatever they paid even without the Jan 6 insurrection.
It is not the first time Greene has offered this fairy tale.
As for the insurrectionists themselves, Greene — despite the evidence of hundreds of hours of video, texts, social media messages, and other proof — claims they were no more than unsophisticated hicks lost in the big city. Is Greene claiming these mindless rubes thought the tear gas and bear spray were the urban smog they had seen on their TVs?
Greene explained that these first-time-in-DC, out-of-towners had no way of knowing they were trespassing because someone had torn the Capitol barriers down. Unhelpfully, she does say who tore them down. Greene must have realized that suggesting Pelosi’s henchmen had done so was a non-starter. And she could hardly blame the MAGAs. Perhaps she imagines it was an act of God, a gust of wind, or Antifa mind-tricks.
Despite this embrace of the absurd, Greene’s support of establishment GOP policies has left the MAGA fringe apoplectic at her apostasy. Steve Bannon threatened a 'will no one rid me of this turbulent priest' primary challenge by a “real MAGA.” Laura Loomer answered the call.
Should that be MAGAs’ best shot at unseating Greene, she will have little to worry about. Loomer is nuts even by MAGA standards — even CPAC once banned her. She is such a rabid bigot, the Trump campaign would not hire her. In part because Greene warned them not to. In a tweet while the Trump people were considering Loomer, Greene giving a textbook example of projection, said

“Laura Loomer is mentally unstable and a documented liar. She can not be trusted.
Adding, “Never hire or do business with a liar. Liars are toxic and poisonous to everything they touch.”

Loomer is also a political loser. In 2020, she lost the Florida 21st district congressional race as a GOP candidate. And in 2022, she lost in the GOP primaries in the 11th district. Nevertheless, Laura is loaded for bear. As she explains,

"She [Greene] took a job from me when she publicly accused me of being crazy. I think it's only fair that I get a shot at taking her job, too."

Greene is unimpressed. She told Gaetz her town hall got "standing ovations" and that "Steve, Loomer, and anyone else coming after me won't beat me." Greene added that cutting "toxic and bad people" out of her life "makes me feel good."
You have to stare agog at the blind irony.

MAGA world comes for Marjorie Taylor Greene

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (left) and Lauren Boeberg (right) are terrible people. And now, they hate each other
You and I know that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is about as bad as Republicans can get. There might be dumber (Reps. Paul Gosar and Lauren Boebert are strong contenders), but few can garner the kind of coverage “MTG” gets with her outlandish and patently absurd takes.
But in this MAGA-infused modern Republican Party, even she isn’t pure enough for the true believers.

Greene has generally been a reliable conservative vote, but in recent months, for some unknown reason, she has also become a key ally of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, giving him cover from his caucus’ extreme right flank. Indeed, unlike other Freedom Caucus nihilists, Greene supported McCarthy on all 15 speaker election ballots. She has also backed McCarthy’s decision to withhold the Jan. 6 videos selectively released to Tucker Carlson (who apparently got very little traction out of them before getting fired). And last week, all hell broke loose when she voted for the debt ceiling compromise bill crafted by McCarthy and President Joe Biden.
As a result, MAGA world is out for blood. The Daily Beast talked to a bunch of conservatives, all of them eager to see her defeated.

In the past week, former Trump administration official-turned-podcaster Steve Bannon led the charge, calling for Greene to be primaried by a more right-wing candidate who is “REAL MAGA.”
A fringe set of far-right allies soon followed.
“I 100 percent support a challenge to MTG, and look forward to meeting and helping a serious challenge to her,” Stew Peters told The Daily Beast.
One figure of the far right, activist and former Florida congressional candidate Laura Loomer, told The Daily Beast she’s already exploring a primary against Greene. As of now, Loomer doesn’t live in Georgia—let alone Greene’s district—but that hasn’t stopped her from wishcasting.

Loomer, who lives in Florida, lost a 2020 campaign against Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel 59-39 in what was a solidly Democratic district, despite then-President Donald Trump’s enthusiastic backing. It would certainly be a far cry from the urban district Loomer last ran in, which was centered around West Palm Beach—100% urban, according to the Census Bureau—to Greene’s 14th Congressional District in Georgia, which is 40% rural. And really, the Census Bureau is overselling the district’s “urban” 60%, since the largest town in the district is Rome, population 37,713, with a “metro area” of just 96,317. It’s a whole different world from West Palm Beach, not that Loomer or her friends give a damn about actually representing constituents.
Still, Loomer has an old grudge against Greene. ”She took a job from me when she publicly accused me of being crazy ... and told Trump not to hire me,” Loomer said to The Daily Beast. “I think it’s only fair that I get a shot at taking her job, too. You know what Donald Trump always says? An eye for an eye.” She is so trapped inside the MAGA cult that she cites Trump talk as if it’s scripture, instead of the original, you know, scripture.
The problem with the nihilists is that, like Trump, they’re incapable of forging real relationships. As such, Greene has had a fallout with almost the entire Freedom Caucus cast. There’s her fight with Boebert, as also reported by The Daily Beast:

According to another source familiar, while in the bathroom, Greene asked Boebert, “You were OK taking millions of dollars from McCarthy but you refuse to vote for him for Speaker, Lauren?”
The first source said Greene was in a stall and, upon coming out, confronted Boebert about taking money from McCarthy for her re-election and then turning against McCarthy when it came time to vote. The Colorado Republican was allegedly unaware that Greene was also in the bathroom at the time.
“That’s when Lauren said, ‘Don’t be ugly,’” the first source said, before she—in the words of this source—“ran out like a little schoolgirl.”

South Carolina Republican Rep. Nancy Mace called Greene a “religious bigot,” to which Greene lost her head.

The row began after Rep Lauren Boebert of Colorado made Islamophobic remarks about Democratic Rep Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, one of two Muslim women elected to Congress, calling her a member of “the jihad squad.”
In response, Ms Mace criticised Ms Boebert on CNN Monday.
“We have a responsibility to lower the temperature and this does not do that,” she said. “I didn’t come to Congress to throw bombs on Twitter, to take advantage of people by saying crazy things to raise money or to be a comedian.”
In response, Ms Greene, who has made Islamophobic remarks on multiple occasions, criticised Ms Mace, calling her “the trash in the GOP Conference”.

And Greene is certainly not taking Bannon’s slings and arrows sitting down. “Steve [Bannon] and I aren’t getting back together,” she wrote in a text message to Rep. Matt Gaetz that was obtained by The Daily Beast. “And if he keeps it up I’ll take the house and kids. I hope you send it to Steve. Because I’m done.”
Is there anything more delicious than watching the worst people in the world tear each other apart? Ironically, these people generally agree with each other ideologically! But as politically immature true believers, they are incapable of handling even the most minor disagreements, creating chaos and disorder in all of their interactions.
The end result is a Republican Party that keeps drifting ever further from the American electoral mainstream, unable to talk about the issues that people actually care about.
