The Bathroom Fight Fueling Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert's Break-Up

[Zorro]

A shouting match in a bathroom. Kevin McCarthy. Donald Trump. Ukraine aid. They're all contributing to the split between two of the far right’s most high-profile figures.

When Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was finally elected speaker after 15 rounds of votes earlier this month, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) wasn’t in her normal seat.

Instead of the middle section of the House chamber where conservatives and GOP castaways have taken up residence for years now, Greene was sitting near the front of the chamber in a section of leadership loyalists, right next to Rep. Ann Wagner (R-MO), who came into Congress in 2013 and immediately started cozying up to McCarthy and GOP leaders.

While Greene sat with her new friends and cheered on McCarthy—at one point, she grabbed a selfie with McCarthy to commemorate the night he took the speaker’s gavel—Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) was in a more familiar spot.

Boebert proudly sat where she usually does: in the middle section of conservatives, right next to Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL). At one point, when McCarthy was just short of the votes to become speaker, he walked over to Boebert and Gaetz and tried to convince one of them to vote for him. Neither of them did.

7. And, here I thought the "bathroom" part of it was a Stephanie Miller gag..

I knew they were at each other's throats, but I figured Stephanie was embellishing the story with her "high school bathroom" comments. Just the "high school" part was the joke? Jeezus. They are such a goddamn clown show.
