that didn’t take long.
in fact, the first day of america’s 118th congress became a pissing match between republican renegades marjorie taylor greene and lauren boebert.
what started out as a trip to the ladies’ room became a full-blown brouhaha, according to the daily beast. the pair — one-time right-wing allies — were allegedly arguing over a man.
and his name is house speaker rep. kevin mccarthy (r-calif.)
when it comes to mccarthy, the femme firebrands went their separate ways with greene backing mccarthy while boebert was dead-set against him.

on jan. 3, the pair squared off in the house women’s washroom.
“greene questioned boebert’s loyalty to mccarthy, and after a few words were exchanged, boebert stormed out,” the daily beast quoted a fight club insider.

another source added that greene stormed out of stall and challenged the gun-loving colorado republican: “you were okay taking millions of dollars from mccarthy but you refuse to vote for him for speaker, lauren?”
boebert fired back: “don’t be ugly.”
the witnesses said boebert then “ran out like a little schoolgirl.”

however, it was greene who was wrong. campaign finance records show that her brunette rival actually didn’t take any money from mccarthy’s political action committee in 2022.
