The ongoing spat between United States Representative Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) and Speaker Pro Tempore Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) deepened on Wednesday after Greene hollered a vulgarity at Boebert on the House floor.
Correspondents Zachary Petrizzo and Sam Brodey of The Daily Beastexclusively reported that Greene called Boebert "a 'little bitch' to her face" while the two right-wingers squabbled over their "competing resolutions to impeach President Joe Biden."
Petrizzo and Brodey explained that "tensions came to a head on Wednesday after Boebert leveraged a procedural tool to force a vote on her own impeachment resolution within days—undercutting Greene, who had offered her own resolution, but not with the procedural advantages of forcing a vote."

Several people who witnessed the confrontation spoke with The Daily Beast.
"According to two sources that saw the exchange and a third familiar with the matter, the back and forth began when Boebert approached Greene—then seated in the chamber—and confronted her over 'statements you made about me publicly.' All three of the sources said Greene called Boebert a 'bitch.' One of the sources said Greene called her 'a little bitch,'" the Beast revealed.
"The name-calling was confirmed by another GOP lawmaker and another source who witnessed the exchange," the Beast noted.
"I heard Marjorie call Boebert a bitch right to her face," a "GOP lawmaker" anonymously told the outlet.
