'I don’t care': Marjorie Taylor Greene waves off Freedom Caucus

WASHINGTON — House Freedom Caucus drama broke out on Tuesday evening as Republicans were cagey about whether or not there was a full caucus vote to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) from their ranks.

On Wednesday, Greene told Raw Story she couldn't possibly care less about the Freedom Caucus.

When asked about whether she had heard about anything involving her status from Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA), Greene said she hadn't spoken with him.

"I'm mostly focused on what I'm doing and serving my district," she said. "Not interested in any drama just interested in working on the NDAA."

The NDAA is the defense-funding bill from which Greene wants to remove Ukraine. She called the Ukraine funding a "red line" for her, and she thinks that they could simply remove Ukraine from the bill to appease her.

Her other top issue for defense funding is to "put the Hyde Amendment in there." The Hyde Amendment is already a law and doesn't need to be added to any other bills. It prevents the government from paying for abortions for employees. Currently, Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) is holding up military promotions over the idea that women who need to travel to other states for an abortion can be compensated for the travel. She also wants to remove funding for transgender medical services.

When asked if she would consider running for caucus chair, she said it wasn't something she was interested in pursuing.

She was then asked if she'd attend the next caucus meeting. Greene said she's only in Congress for "my district."

Reporters brought up the dichotomy of the Freedom Caucus, saying that you can't support leadership and be in the caucus at the same time.

"I'll say this, is Freedom Caucus' purpose to be anti-leadership, or is it to promote conservative policies and protect the Constitution?" she asked, pointing to her record.

When asked if she was waiting for the caucus to approach her or if she was going to contact Perry, she simply said: "I don't care. I don't care. I don't think I can say that loud enough."

She went on to point out her devotion to Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

"I'm very grateful for his support, and I support him," she said of McCarthy. "I think he's doing a great job. He's very conservative and he's in a tough job; I don't think people recognize that enough."

She also celebrated him as the highest fundraiser of any Republican speaker in he past. The comments come amid McCarthy headlining an event for Greene on the Hill.
