A triggered Marjorie Taylor Greene brawls with Republicans on Twitter

In the approximately 12 hours after her effort to censure Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was defeated, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene went on the proverbial warpath against her fellow Republicans on Twitter.

Greene, who introduced a privileged motion to censure Tlaib on the grounds that Tlaib engaged in “insurrection” by speaking at a rally of Palestinian protesters who would conduct a sit-in at the Capitol building, was clearly furious.

In the hours after the censure was tabled on Wednesday and in the early hours of Thursday morning, she excoriated numerous dissident Republican voters by name, insulted Lauren Boebert (“vaping groping Lauren Boebert”), sparred indirectly with Chip Roy (“Colonel Sanders”), and even had stern words for Thomas Massie—most of whom are far-right conservatives.

The censure was defeated by every Democratic Congressperson and 23 Republicans.

Greene insisted the motion and its accusation of insurrection was to force Democrats to “play by the same rules,” complaining that failure to engage in tit-for-tat would only encourage them to “keep stomping our faces in the pavement.”

For his part, Roy was the only one to publicly return fire by way of the press, telling reporters Greene should “go chase so-called Jewish space lasers if she wants to spend time on that sort of thing.”

It seems the MAGA civil war did not end, but merely achieved a brief detente before entering a new phase.
