There's no rhyme or reason to the given reasons for why the House Freedom Caucus ousted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., last week. She should be right at home in a group established to draw the House GOP to the right. After all, she's one of the nuttiest members in historical memory, an avid fan of both right-wing conspiracy theories and nakedly fascist rhetoric. The claim that she's "too close" to Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., also doesn't make sense. As Politico's Rachel Bade told ABC News over the weekend, fellow Freedom Caucus member Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, is one of McCarthy's "best friends." Plus, most of the 49 members of the caucus in January voted for McCarthy as speaker on the first ballot. Nor does it follow that she was booted for calling Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., a "little b*tch." Freedom Caucus members all worship at the altar of Donald "Grab 'Em By The P*ssy" Trump, and are neither offended by profanity nor misogyny.
No, there's a much simpler explanation for why this hyper-right congressional club kicked someone out for the very first time: Plain old sexism.
