The high school cafeteria metaphor for Congress may prove more apt than we initially realized. Earlier today, after all, Sam Brodey and Zachary Petrizzo of The Daily Beast reported that multiple eyewitnesses on the House floor saw a once-unimaginable spat between MAGA darlings Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert regarding who deserved proper credit for an embryonic impeachment movement against Biden. “I’ve donated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a little bitch to me,” Greene apparently said, charmingly. “And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.” Boebert reportedly replied: “OK, Marjorie, we’re through.” A stunned Republican lawmaker told the Beast, “I heard Marjorie call Boebert a bitch right to her face.”
