MTG rants against fellow Republicans for rejecting Tlaib censure resolution: 'Vaping groping Boebert'

02 November 2023

During the 1960s, Ronald Reagan unveiled what he jokingly called "The 11th Commandment" — which was, "Thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican." Reagan was being humorous, but his point was that the Goldwater and Rockefeller factions within the GOP could have policy differences without tearing one another to shreds.

But these days, Donald Trump — not Reagan — is the Republican Party's most influential figure. And MAGA Republicans often turn on one another. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia), for example, has been using her congressional account to slam fellow Republicans who weren't on board with her resolution to censure progressive Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Michigan) in response to her comments on the Israel-Hamas War.

After Greene's censure resolution was introduced, 23 Republicans voted with Democrats to table it — much to Greene's chagrin. And she has been furiously railing against them.

On X, formerly Twitter, Greene ranted against "CNN wannabe Ken Buck" and "vaping groping Lauren Boebert."

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) tweeted that Tlaib's comments on Israel were "outrageous" and "unbecoming of a member of Congress" but attacked Greene's censure resolution as "deeply flawed." And Greene responded, "You hate Trump, certified Biden's election, and could care less about J6 defendants being persecuted." Roy, speaking to a reporter, later mocked Greene's antisemitic claim that "Jewish space lasers" were responsible for wildfires in California.

But Greene nemesis and fellow MAGA conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer wasn't impressed with Greene's censure resolution.

Loomer, on November 2, tweeted, "You're only doing this now for attention. How come you didn't want to censure the HAMAS CAUCUS when you were first elected? How come you didn't ask your boyfriend @SpeakerMcCarthy to censure Tlaib and (Rep. Ilhan) Omar when he was Speaker? They haven't changed. They have always been jihadists. Both you and @chiproytx are showboaters. Both of you are useless."

Neither Tlaib nor Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minnesota) are jihadists, as Loomer claims. Both have expressed feminist views, which is contrary to jihadism, and have practiced a non-fundamentalist form of Islam.
