Marjorie Taylor Greene lets loose!

Calls 'b****' Lauren Boebert a 'liar' and a 'copycat', rips into 'widely hated' Ken Buck and slams 'hypocrite' Freedom Caucus members who kicked her out - as she releases no-holds-barred tell-all

▶ 'Buck is more interested in trying out with interviews for CNN … but Freedom Caucus keeps people like Ken Buck,' Greene said in an interview

▶ Greene claimed she tried to be a 'friend' to Boebert for a 'very long time'

▶ 'The media has basically created a character of me that doesn't exist,' she said on why she wrote her book. 'Some people call me, like, the notorious MTG'

 

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene unloaded on Rep. Lauren Boebert after calling her a 'b****' and the right-wing Freedom Caucus which booted her out in a scathing retelling of her own part in the chaos in Congress.

 

Months ago, Greene was ousted from the nearly 50-member Freedom Caucus - a group of Republicans dedicated to upending business as usual who have become a thorn in the side of establishment GOP.

 

'I still have never understood why they kick someone like me out and kept Ken Buck,' Greene says in an interview with DailyMail.com ahead of the release of her new book, 'MTG,' out Tuesday. 'Buck is widely hated among Republicans now, especially in the base.'

 

The removal came after Greene called Boebert, R-Colo., a 'little b***h' on the House floor for copying her Biden impeachment articles over the southern border.

 

Greene claims she tried to be a 'friend' to Boebert for a 'very long time.'

 

'She always made it very clear that she wanted to keep a distance from me. And I've never understood that,' Greene says.

 

In an exclusive excerpt of the book obtained by DailyMail.com, Greene says the Freedom Caucus held a vote to remove her on June 23, 2023 - after many members had already hopped on flights home for the week and when she was not there to 'defend herself.'

 

Later on the House floor during the final votes of the week, 'not one single HFC member came up to me to tell me,' she said. 'I found out about their vote on Twitter.'

 

Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry said at the time he had tried to reach Greene to inform her of the vote, but 'I did not have one single call or text from Scott Perry,' says Greene.

Greene had just introduced impeachment articles against President Biden. She asked the Freedom Caucus and Boebert to co-sponsor those articles, but Boebert instead introduced her own.

 

'She told leadership that she had to do it to help her end-of-quarter fundraising,' Greene writes.

 

Boebert's 2024 challenger, Democrat Adam Frisch, dramatically outraised her in the third quarter: $3.4 million to $854,000.

 

'I told the media how she had copied my articles of impeachment,' Greene goes on.

 

'Lauren walked up to me on the House floor, demandingI clarify the comments I had made to the press, at which point I called her a“little b***h” to her face. After I told her what I thought of her, I told Lauren to shut up.'

 

The pair of firebrand right-wing women both came to Congress in 2021, but Greene bristles at any comparison of the two.

 

'The only similarity between us is our voting records,' she says. 'We're actually extremely different types of people.'

 

'She's a serial liar,' Greene adds. 'She's lied about missing votes … she got caught vaping in front of a pregnant woman and groping her date in a public movie theater, then she got caught lying about that and she also lied about the situation with me.'

 

In September, Boebert was filmed lashing out at theater staff after being booted from a Beetlejuice performance for singing along - with staff claiming she also vaped and took photos during the performance.

 

Between Greene and the Freedom Caucus, there's no love lost.

 

'I think I'm better off being a free agent without the Freedom Caucus, who I find unfortunately to be hypocrites a lot of the time.'

 

'Buck is more interested in trying out with interviews for CNN than he is in working hard in Congress and being a real conservative, but Freedom Caucus keeps people like Ken Buck,' she goes on, continuing to reflect on her removal from the caucus of which she was once the most visible face.

 

'I'm not exactly sure why they did it.'

 

The book spans the entirety of her congressional career with highlights from January 6 when she says Democrats were 'hysterical' and Rep. Clay Higgins, R-La., offered to save her from rioters because he had a gun on the House floor.

 

She bashes out-of-shape and elderly members of Congress trying to escape rioters who were swarming the floor: 'Just imagine Jerry Nadler trying to run for safety!'

 

She talks of getting kicked off committees under Democrats in 2021 and how she instead tried to make an impact by forcing recorded votes rather than voice votes which delayed the passing of Democrat-led legislation - only to be chastised by senior Republicans who did not want to waste their time.

 

The Republican was kicked off all her committees by Democrats - and 11 Republicans - in 2021 for her previous racist and pro-conspiracy theory statements.

 

She apologized later for her comments, saying on the House floor they 'do not represent' her.

 

Greene says she wrote the book herself to retell her experience in Congress in her own words.

 

'Ever since I entered Congress in January of 2021, the media has basically created a character of me that doesn't exist,' she said. 'Some people call me, like, the notorious MTG.'

 

'Ever since I became that person, I've really wanted to tell the real stories and get my own policies and views out there.'

 

As for her future ambitions, Greene is keeping coy. She said she hasn't heard much from former President Donald Trump, despite their regular conversations, about who he might pick as his running mate.

 

'I will serve President Trump at any capacity that that he would like for me to serve in,' she said. 'But right now, I'm very dedicated to my district.'

Trump's Washington Election Trial Must Be Televised, Media Coalition Argues

A coalition of media outlets wrote Friday that the 2020 election trial for former President Trump should be broadcast.

 

A coalition of mainstream media outlets argued that the 2020 election trial against Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump should be televised live to bolster "public trust" and that the U.S. Constitution mandates it.

 

"Of all trials conducted throughout American history, this one needs the public trust that only a televised proceeding can foster. Because the Constitution allows—indeed requires—such access here, the Federal Rules cannot prohibit it," the lawyers for media organizations including the New York Times, CNN, and The Associated Press wrote on Friday in a court filing.

The coalition's lawyers wrote the media outlets are acting on "behalf of millions of Americans who have an unprecedented interest in observing—for themselves—the prosecution of former President Donald Trump" during the trial, which is scheduled to start in March 2024.

 

Federal rules have long stipulated that courts bar cameras from being inside courtrooms. During President Trump's arraignment in the Washington case, no cameras were allowed inside the building.

 

The media outlets' lawyers also appeared to criticize President Trump after he "characterized this action as bearing 'all the unfortunate badges of a trial in an authoritarian regime, lacking legitimacy or due process.'" The lawyers then claimed that this comment goes against "the very legitimacy of this proceeding" and "only underscores" the need for the American public to watch the trial.

 

Lawyers for the former president have filed court papers to have the case televised, too, saying that federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith want to "continue this travesty in darkness" and that "President Trump calls for sunlight." If the trial is carried out without cameras, his lawyers said, the court runs a "high risk" of undermining the public's trust in the U.S. justice system.

During a campaign event in New Hampshire last week, President Trump told a crowd that he wants the trial to be watched by "everybody in the world."

 

"I want everybody to see all of the horrible things that took place, all of the horrible charges … and let's let the public decide because I want cameras in every inch of that courthouse," he said.

 

But federal prosecutors recently objected to requests to have the trial televised, claiming it would turn it into a political circus.

 

"He desires instead to create a carnival atmosphere from which he hopes to profit by distracting, like many fraud defendants try to do, from the charges against him," Mr. Smith's team said in a legal brief to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.

Local and federal rules bar "the relief the Applicants seek" to allow cameras in the courtroom, prosecutors wrote, adding that attempts to overturn such rules have been rejected many times by courts in the past. The court should deny the applications, they wrote.

 

“Paired with the ever-increasing acrimony in public discourse, witnesses and others who appear on video may be subjected to threats and harassment,” Mr. Smith’s team argued. “Even the knowledge that their images will circulate on social media may temper a witness’s initial testimony.”

 

Media organizations, prosecutors argued, are certainly free to lobby the Judicial Conference to change its anti-broadcast rule, as, indeed, the media coalition in the Trump case has done. But Mr. Smith said there’s no basis for Judge Chutkan to disregard a recently reaffirmed policy that has never been deemed constitutionally invalid.

 

Media coalition lawyers wrote the government’s brief fails to acknowledge that state courts across the country have now concluded that criminal trials can be televised without compromising the fairness of the proceedings.

 

“Camera technology is so unobtrusive now that, in the many states and federal civil courts that actually allow them, people hardly notice,” the lawyers said. “As far as grandstanding—whatever that means—for generations judges have successfully used the host of tools at their disposal to control any inappropriate behavior.”

 

Judge Chutkan, an Obama appointee, is expected to make a ruling on the motions. However, she has not set a date for her decision.

 

President Trump is facing a four-count indictment that alleges he participated in a conspiracy "to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election by using knowingly false claims of election fraud to obstruct the government function by which those results are collected, counted and certified." He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, saying the case is part of a longstanding attempt to harm his campaign.

 

Separately, President Trump's lawyers this week filed a motion to pause the election case while a judge considers whether he has presidential immunity. They noted that a range of other public officials, including police officers, members of Congress, and corrections officers, have qualified immunity and can obtain “stays of discovery and of other pre-trial proceedings when they assert official immunity, pending a final resolution of those asserted claims of immunity.”

 

“The prosecution contends that President Trump should be the only official in America who is not entitled to such consideration,” his wrote, adding that he should have the same rights as other officials regarding immunity claims.

The Fight For Free Speech: YAF & The Judiciary Committee Hearing

 

On Wednesday, November 8th, the House Judiciary Committee held a formal public hearing to expose the depths of free speech suppression on college campuses. Colleges are supposed to be places where students are taught HOW to think, not WHAT to think, but I guess university administrations missed that memo.

 

This hearing couldn't have come at a better time as the landscape on college campuses is showcasing a concerning trend. According to polling from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 47% of adults say liberals have “a lot” of freedom to express their views on college campuses, while just 20% said the same of conservatives.

 

And this isn't just a few leftist students being creatively rebellious against their conservative peers either, this is a top-down issue coming straight from administrators.

Speaker Johnson says he’ll make 44,000 hours of Jan. 6 footage available to the general public

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday he plans to publicly release thousands of hours of footage from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, making good on a promise he made to far-right members of his party when he was campaigning for the job.

 

“This decision will provide millions of Americans, criminal defendants, public interest organizations, and the media an ability to see for themselves what happened that day, rather than having to rely upon the interpretation of a small group of government officials,” Johnson said in a statement.

 

The newly elected speaker said the first tranche of security footage, around 90 hours, will be released on a public committee website Friday, with the rest of the 44,000 hours expected to be posted over the next several months. In the meantime, a public viewing room will also be set up in the Capitol for viewing the footage.

 

For the last several months, the GOP-led House Administration Committee has made the video available by appointment only to members of the media, criminal defendants and a limited number of other people. The video shows some of the fighting up close and gives a bird’s eye view of the Capitol complex — one that visitors rarely see — as hundreds of President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the building, violently attacking police officers and breaking in through windows and doors.

 

By expanding this access to the general public, Johnson is fulfilling one of the pledges he made last month to the most conservative members of his party, including Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who orchestrated the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Both Gaetz and Trump — who is currently running for reelection as he faces federal charges for his role in the Jan. 6 attack — applauded Johnson’s decision.

 

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump congratulated the speaker “for having the courage and fortitude” to release the footage.

 

The move by Johnson will grant the general public a stunning level of access to sensitive and explicit Jan. 6 security footage, which many critics have warned could endanger the safety of staff and members in the Capitol complex if it gets into the wrong hands. The hours of footage detail not only the shocking assault rioters made on U.S. Capitol Police as they breached the building but also how the rioters accessed the building and the routes lawmakers used to flee to safety. …

A request for comment from Capitol Police was declined.

 

Johnson said Friday that the committee is processing the footage to blur the faces of individuals “to avoid any persons from being targeted for retaliation of any kind.” He added that an estimated 5% of the footage will not be publicly released as it ”may involve sensitive security information related to the building architecture.”

 

Gripping images and videos from the Capitol attack by Trump supporters have been widely circulated by documentarians, news organizations and even the rioters themselves. But until this year, officials held back much of the surveillance video from hundreds of security cameras stationed in and around the Capitol.

 

In February, McCarthy gave then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson exclusive access to the footage, a move that Democrats swiftly condemned as a “grave” breach of security with potentially far-reaching consequences.

 

The conservative commentator aired a first installment to millions of viewers on his prime-time show in the spring, working to bend perceptions of the violent, grueling siege that played out for the world to see into a narrative favorable to Trump.

 

It is all part of a larger effort by Republicans to redefine the narrative around the deadly insurrection after the findings of the House Jan. 6 committee last year. The select committee of seven Democrats and two Republicans spent months painstakingly documenting, with testimony and video evidence, how Trump rallied his supporters to head to the Capitol and “fight like hell” as Congress was certifying his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

 

The committee’s final report released last December concluded that Trump criminally engaged in a “multi-part conspiracy” to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and failed to act to stop his supporters from attacking the Capitol.

 

The panel passed their investigation to the Justice Department, recommending federal prosecutors investigate the former president on four crimes, including aiding an insurrection. And in August, Trump was indicted on four felony counts for his role in the attack as the Justice Department accused him of assaulting the “bedrock function” of democracy.
