Rep. Andy Harris called the move 'an appropriate action” following her spat with Rep. Lauren Boebert last month.
Harris said that the incident was one factor in Greene’s removal, adding, “I think the way she referred to a fellow member was probably not the way we expect our members to refer to other fellow, especially female, members.”Greene has also faced criticism for her support of Speaker Kevin McCarthy and her vote toin early June. “I think all of that mattered,” the representative from Maryland said.
He suggested Greene’s blowout with Boebert was a step too far, telling Politico, “I think the straw that broke the camel’s back was publicly saying things about another member in terms that no one should.” Greene’s exit from the House Freedom Caucus could cause more discord in an already divided House GOP.
