There’s an old saying, “once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, third time it’s enemy action.” Marjorie Taylor Greene has gone on record more than three times now saying how Kevin McCarthy just isn’t cutting it, doesn’t have the votes, can’t lead the conference. It must be giving McCarthy PTSD or deja vu at the very least.
The following is my Thanksgiving message to @GOPLeader, from Marge: “We know that Kevin McCarthy has a problem in our conference. He doesn’t have the full support to be Speaker. He doesn’t have the votes .. because many of us are unhappy.” pic.twitter.com/Yo1JyjZBRq

Let’s look on the bright side, shall we? This is nothing compared to the time Greene called McCarthy a “feckless c***” on Twitter. The Independent:
Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrated and then deleted a retweet calling Kevin McCarthy a “feckless c***” before attacking the House minority leader in a television interview the following day.
The congresswoman told conservative network Newsmax on Wednesday that Mr McCarthy was wrong for criticising her for comparing face coverings to the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered by Nazis.
The House minority leader, on Tuesday, said Ms Greene’s remarks were “appalling” and that she was “wrong” to “compare the horrors of the Holocaust with wearing masks” for Covid. […]
“We have to stand up to these aggressions, and these are the exact types of aggressions that take away our freedoms,” the congresswoman told Newsmax, “and we’ve seen it with tyrants in the past throughout history.”
The TV interview came a day after after Ms Greene retweeted that Mr McCarthy was a “feckless c***” for criticising her, according to a reporter for Forbes, Andrew Solender. She afterwards deleted the tweet, by user “ASimplePatriot”.
Paul Gosar retweeted the same tweet that got him censured by the House, the anime of him murdering AOC. Apparently that’s the way the kids in juvie hall section of the GOP do it.
Maybe it’s time for another “conversation” with Marge. Whuddya think, Kevin? I mean, that last conversation yielded so much fruit. Washington Post:
As a supporter of the QAnon movement, Greene had spread conspiracy theories that included claims that the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas and the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Fla., were hoaxes and that Hillary Clinton mutilated and murdered a child during a satanic ritual. She also endorsed calls for the murders of federal agents and her Democratic colleagues, including giving a “like” when a commenter on her Facebook feed suggested that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) might be removed with “a bullet to the head.”
Oh, to have been a fly on that wall and hear that “conversation.”
In any event, the McCarthy/Greene rift does not appear to be healing any time soon, even though McCarthy extended an olive branch recently, saying that Greene and Paul Gosar would get “even better” committee assignments in 2022 when the Republicans retake the House.
They may be banking on that very thing, Kevin, but whether you are the one to bestow such largesse upon them appears to be up for debate.
Feckless c***? She ought to know since she sees one everytime she looks in the mirror.
As Speaker? Not so much a fox in the hen house as a weasel at an egg farm.
Her comments are aggressions, every time she speaks.
