Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Wednesday traded barbs on Twitter after the congressman praised his colleague for her new committee assignments.
Reps. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., discuss the new House rules package and the importance of Kevin McCarthy’s concessions on the road to speaker on ‘The Ingraham Angle.’
Greene replied to the tweet by praising McCarthy and the House Republican Steering Committee"for voting me on the committees I requested on the submission form most of us filled out." She then slammed Gaetz for delaying the House speaker vote earlier this month. Gaetz was among 20 House Republicans who repeatedly refused to nominate McCarthy for House speaker. He ultimately won and assumed the role after the 15th ballot and four days of voting.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had pushed through a rule change requiring that only a member of the House leadership can offer a motion to vacate. Greene fired back at Gaetz, noting that the"rules package did not change at all from Jan 1st to Jan 6th, except MTV went from 5 to 1. Literally anyone can read them online and see that. All substantial negotiations happened in conference & 5 families meetings before the 15 ballots starting on Jan 3rd."after making concessions to Republicans in the House Freedom Caucus, including assignments on key committee spots.
