At least two hardline representatives in the House Freedom Caucus have floated the idea of "purging" members who no longer meet the group's standards to Chair Rep. Scott Perry, R-Pa., as the group's internal tensions rise, three anonymous Republicans with knowledge of the discussions told Politico.
While the members who suggested the ousters did not declare who they'd like to remove, they have indicated that one potential target is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga, an ally of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. Some caucus members have honed in on Greene as an example of their concerns that certain members have grown too close to GOP leadership and too outwardly critical of the group when it disagrees.
