Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, Republicans who represent Georgia and Colorado respectively, reportedly nearly came to blows when the House Freedom Caucus board of directors gathered for a meeting last month.
According to Politico, which broke the story, Greene and Boebert got into a verbal argument that forced another member of the Freedom Caucus to separate the pair and deescalate the situation.
NEW: The House Freedom Caucus is facing an identity crisis, w/ current & fmr members saying group doesn\u2019t resemble what it was designed to be. \n\nFrom internal blowups btw Boebert & MTG to others weighing starting own group offshoots, I dig into dynamicshttps://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/29/house-republican-freedom-caucus-challenges-00023071\u00a0\u2026— Olivia Beavers (@Olivia Beavers) 1651229725
Boebert apparently hates being regularly connected to Greene and criticized Greene for speaking at a White nationalist rally in February.
Greene stoked controversy a couple of months ago after news outlets reported she and fellow Republican Representative Paul Gosar of Arizona had not only attended but been featured speakers at the third annual America First Political Action Conference, which has widely been identified as a White nationalist organization.
The argument between Greene and Boebert—two of the most vocal and controversial Republicans in the House—according to those who witnessed it, indicates the Republican party is disordered. They noted the Freedom Caucus, generally considered to be the most conservative bloc within the House Republican Conference, will have a difficult time reaching its goals.
According to Tennessee Republican Representative Scott DesJarlais, who spoke to Politico, if Republicans "can’t work together as a group and push our ideas in a civil manner, then we’re not going to be very effective."
The news there is significant friction between Greene and Boebert made waves across social media.
Many criticized them as well as the Republican party at large.
Eating their own. Yum yum yum. If you don\u2019t play well in the sandbox w/ others, join a likeminded group and guess what? They don\u2019t play well together either hahahahhttps://twitter.com/olivia_beavers/status/1519993752286285830\u00a0\u2026— Toby Berry \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9 (@Toby Berry \u05d8\u05d5\u05d1\u05d9) 1651340141
Soul-less and arrogant. Of course they're lost. This is what happens to people who are so easily distracted by the orange calf.https://twitter.com/Olivia_Beavers/status/1519993752286285830\u00a0\u2026— Gypsy Moth (@Gypsy Moth) 1651351712

I had the impression in 2020 that Boebert was cynically sucking up to the QAnon crowd while Greene was a true believer. Flash forward a couple years, and Boebert reportedly "detests being tied to" Greene.

I mean, they\u2019re competing in the same zero-sum grift-space, so of course they don\u2019t like each otherhttps://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1520211404984356866\u00a0\u2026— Aki Peritz (@Aki Peritz) 1651282185

While more of the details about the confrontation between Greene and Boebert are not immediately clear, they have often been associated with each other because they've tended to fall in line about the same political topics, most notably COVID-19 restrictions, vaccine mandates, and the falsehood that the 2020 general election was stolen.
Both congresswomen are currently under investigation for the role they played on January 6, 2021, the day a mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters attacked the seat of government in a bid to overturn the electoral certification of Democrat Joe Biden's win.
Despite being subject to considerable scrutiny, both have continued to promote baseless conspiracies, behavior that has often placed them at odds with the Biden administration and members of their own party.
