Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Thursday dubbed the House Freedom Caucus the “burn-it-all-down caucus,” a swipe at the conservative group that ousted her from its ranks over the summer.

“I’m not a member of the burn-it-all-down caucus anymore,” Greene told reporters. “I’m a greatly, very happily a free agent and I want to do my job here.”

Members of the caucus voted to boot Greene from their ranks over the summer after the Georgia Republican supported the debt limit bill that Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and President Biden crafted to avoid a default, which drew ire from many in the right flank — some of whom are members of the caucus.

    Calling someone a removed is no different than calling someone a dick or an asshole - and is not strictly tied to any gender. I’ll call anyone a removed if they’re acting like one.

    It would be different if I was casually referring to her as a removed, like “I was talking to this one removed” or something, but that’s not the case.
