“Tensions inside the conservative House Freedom Caucus have reached the point that some members are floating the idea of purging colleagues from the group,” Politico reports.
“At least two hardliners have discussed — and proposed to Freedom Caucus Chair Scott Perry (R-PA) — trying to boot members who no longer meet the group’s ideological standards, according to three Republicans with knowledge of the talks who spoke on condition of anonymity. The lawmakers declined to name who’s behind the ouster calls, underscoring the sensitivity of the situation.”
“While the members suggesting a purge did not specify the people they want to remove, they are signaling that one target of any ejection push is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).”
