Republican Lauren Boebert says 'I'm not in Middle School' when asked how she feels about Marjorie Taylor Greene calling her a 'bitch'

• Lauren Boebert brushed off an attempt to get her to respond to Marjorie Taylor Greene's insult.
• Greene has confirmed that she called Boebert, a fellow Republican, a "little bitch" on the House floor.

Rep. Lauren Boebert brushed off a reporter who tried to ask her about fellow Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene calling her a "little bitch" on the House floor.

"Like I said, I'm not in middle school," Boebert told CNN's Manu Raju when asked about Greene's heated confrontation yesterday that became public after The Daily Beast reported it.

Greene has both confirmed and refused to back down from calling Boebert a "little bitch" on the House floor on Wednesday.

"She has genuinely been a nasty little bitch to me," Greene told Semafor of why she confronted Boebert on the floor.

The Georgia Republican is frustrated that in her view Boebert co-opted her legislation to impeach President Joe Biden. Greene said that Boebert did so "purely for fundraising."

Boebert used a special procedural tool that would have forced the entire House to consider impeaching Biden. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy then moved to pass the resolution off to a pair of committees.

Once cast as two members of the conservative alternative to "the squad," Greene and Boebert have been increasingly at odds.

Greene, a Georgia Republican who has become a McCarthy ally, reportedly screamed at Boebert in a House bathroom in January. According to The Daily Beast, Greene was angry that Boebert joined a band of House conservatives in opposing McCarthy's election as speaker, a show of opposition that ground the chamber to a halt for days.
