      The only ways that response could have been less mature would be if Greene responded “I know you are, but what am I” or replied “I am rubber and you are glue. Whatever you say bounces off of me and sticks to you!”

    She then stole a congressman’s sandwich from his hands while he was eating it and threw it in the trash. Then she said your mom was ugly.

    Cult experts saw this coming years ago. This is a purity cult on top of a cult of personality. Purity cults are doomed to shrink and fracture, especially with as many ambitious people are part of this one. If you can’t kiss that ring as hard as the person one-upping you for Dear Leader’s attention, your loyalty is called into question, implicitly or explicitly.

    I wish it would splinter and die faster.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) called fellow GOP Rep. Darrell Issa (Calif.) a p‑‑‑‑ Tuesday after he attacked her for lacking the “maturity and experience” to understand the proper way to bring an impeachment vote against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

    Issa had defended himself Tuesday morning against criticism — especially from Greene — for his vote to punt the impeachment measure on Mayorkas back to committee.

    Asked what he, as a seasoned member of Congress, thinks of Greene’s plan to bring a privileged resolution on a Mayorkas impeachment, Issa attacked her “maturity and experience.”

    But she, I believe, she lacks the maturity and the experience to understand what she was asking for, and how ill prepared we would have been to do it on short notice on the floor,” he continued.

    Tensions are high among House Republicans following the ouster of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) early last month and the caucus’s subsequent struggles to replace him before the eventual election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.

    Also on Tuesday, Rep. Tim Burchett (Tenn.), one of the Republicans who voted to strip McCarthy of his gavel, chased the former Speaker down a Capitol hallway after accusing him of elbowing him.
