Ahead of votes, Ms Mace told reporters “All I can say about Marjorie Taylor Greene is bless her f**king heart.” Ms Mace, who flipped a district in South Carolina, spoke with The Independent after House votes Monday evening as the two freshmen traded barbs on Twitter all Tuesday. And I don’t tolerate from Democrats or Republicans and I’ve been clear, I’ve been consistent on that since the day I got elected and I’m not going to put up with any of her bullsh*t, never have and never will.” The criticism began in earnest after Ms Greene’s political ally, Rep Lauren Boebert of Colorado, was caught on video making Islamophobic remarks about Rep Ilhan Omar, who wears a hijab, calling her part of “the jihad squad” and implying Ms Omar would blow up the Capitol if she had a backpack on. In response, Ms Greene tweeted that Ms Mace was “the trash in the GOP Conference” and said she was “pro-abort” to imply she supported abortion rights. “And that’s where most of America is, and to attack a victim of rape because of those positions is disgusting and it’s wrong.” Ms Mace said positions like Ms Greene’s will make it harder to welcome women into the fold.
