When Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert were elected to Congress in November 2020, they were instantly tied together. 

‘QAnon goes to Washington,’ announced Roll Call, the longtime chronicler of Capitol Hill, connecting Greene and Boebert to the pro-Trump conspiracy theory, which they have since distanced themselves from. 

Greene and Boebert were also compared to each other because of their brash temperament, relative youth compared to most members of Congress and ability to rile up a MAGA crowd. 

But Greene doing just that – at the rally of a known white nationalist – and Boebert expressing displeasure, produced the first media reports that the MAGA darlings weren’t in lockstep together. 

That tiff produced a fight at a House Freedom Caucus meeting near Capitol Hill in March 2022. Cut to a bathroom shouting-fest this January and then this week’s animosity on the House floor, where Greene called Boebert a ‘little b****.’ 

So how did two of the MAGA movement’s biggest stars become arch-enemies?

It was Politico that first reported in April 2022 that the 36-year-old Boebert ‘detests being tied to her Georgia colleague.’ 

The story detailed how the two had gotten into it at a House Freedom Caucus board of directors meeting in March 2022 over Greene, 49, appearing at an event in Florida organized by white nationalist Nick Fuentes, who gained additional notoriety when he dined at Mar-a-Lago days before Thanksgiving with former President Donald Trump and anti-Semitic rapper Kanye West. 

Most of MAGAWorld had been gathered in Florida to participate in the Orlando-based Conservative Political Action Conference, but only Greene and Rep. Paul Gosar went to the sideshow white supremacist event organized by Fuentes. 

Sources told Politico that Greene’s and Boebert’s argument got so heated that people in the room feared it might turn physical. 

Greene admitted in an interview with Semafor this week that her row with Boebert stretched back ‘since the last Congress.’ 

The Ukraine war also distanced the two congresswoman, with Boebert wanting the U.S. to give military assistance to Ukraine, and Greene expressing that ‘America First’ meant not giving Ukraine U.S. taxpayer dollars, The Daily Beast said. 

The divide became much more prominent at the start of the current Congress when the two women took different sides in the speakership vote debacle.

Greene sided with now House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, while Boebert was among the ‘never Kevins’ who forced the speakership vote to go 15 rounds. 

Boebert finally relented and changed her vote to ‘present’ on the 14th vote.

Prior to that, the two women had a fight in the bathroom. 

Sources told The Daily Beast that ‘Greene questioned Boebert’s loyalty to McCarthy, and after a few words were exchanged, Boebert stormed out.’ 

‘You were OK taking millions of dollars from McCarthy but you refuse to vote for him for Speaker, Lauren?’ Greene reportedly said, catching Boebert off guard by coming out of a stall in the women’s bathroom off the Speaker’s Lobby. 

Boebert responded to Greene, ‘don’t be ugly,’ a source said, and then added that she ‘ran out like a little schoolgirl.’ 

Six months later, their arguments have spilled out onto the floor. 

During votes Wednesday, Boebert can be seen approaching the dais, walking past Greene and then hightailing it back to her where the two women were captured by C-SPAN speaking animatedly.  

The lawmaker chairing the session can be heard banging the gavel and saying, ‘Take your conversations off the floor,’ as a round of voting concluded. 

By dinnertime Wednesday, The Daily Beast had reported what was said. 

Greene had alleged that Boebert had copied her articles of impeachment, instead of just supporting her bill. 

‘I’ve doneated to you, I’ve defended you. But you’ve been nothing but a litte b***h to me,’ Greene told Boebert, sources said. ‘And you copied my articles of impeachment after I asked you to cosponsor them.’ 

One GOP lawmaker in earshot told The Beast: ‘I heard Marjorie call Boebert a b***h right to her face.’ 

And Greene admitted to it on-the-record. 

‘She has genuinely been a nasty little b***h to me,’ the Georgia congresswoman told Semafor.   

Greene said that Boebert had come over to her to confront her about telling reporters she believed the Colorado congresswoman was playing copycat.

‘I was sitting down, and so I stood up and said, “I’m happy to clarify my public statements to your face,”‘ Greene told Semafor. ‘I told her exactly what I think about her.’  

She said Boebert’s solo impeachment effort was ‘purely for fundraising.’ 

‘It’s throwing out red meat so that people will donate to her campaign because she’s coming up on the end of the month, and she’s trying to produce good fundraising numbers,’ Greene said. 

Boebert almost lost her race to Democrat Adam Frisch in November. Frisch is already running against her again.  

Greene also said that at one point during the fight Boebert accused the Georgia congresswoman of spitting on her lip. 

Greene said at another point Boebert tried to re-engage, and Greene told her to be quiet.

‘I said, “you need to shut up because the only person that’s recognized to speak right now is [Rep. Anna Paulina] Luna,”‘ Greene noted. 

The video captures Greene and Boebert going at it, until Luna starts to speak. 

Greene also gave an ‘absolutely not’ to Semafor when asked if there could be a reconciliation. 

Boebert was asked about the feud by Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity Thursday night and pushed that it wasn’t as bad as it seems. 

‘Sean, I did not put my life on pause and leave my four boys and my now grandson to come here and just get in spats with people,’ Boebert said. ‘I came here to legislate and to be effective for Coloradans, Coloradans who are suffering from the Democrats’ policy. Marjorie is not my enemy. Joe Biden’s policy, the Democrats, that is my enemy that I am combating right now.’ 

NRL Immortal Andrew Johns has dramatically quit the SEN radio network as the fallout from his on-air feud with brother Matthew Johns continues to fester.

The footy siblings – who often don’t see eye to eye – have failed to patch up their differences following a heated on-air debate ahead of the State of Origin series opener last month.

Fox Sports identity Matthew Johns, who hosts the Morning Glory program each Friday, praised the coaching abilities of Queensland mentor Billy Slater, which got under his younger brother’s skin.

Andrew Johns is also a member of the NSW Blues coaching staff.

SEN station boss Craig Hutchison was confident the siblings would soon be on the same page – possibly once the Origin series is finished – but it is believed a fired up Andrew Johns has declared he won’t be back on the airwaves in 2023.

On June 9 – for the second successive week – Andrew failed to show at SEN’s Walker St studios in North Sydney.

Matthew Johns stated in the lead up ‘I’m just going to leave the studio door open,’ and if ‘he walks through the doors at one minute to nine then he does, if he doesn’t we will just have to make do.’

Johns and respected sports journalist Andrew Webster then failed to address the elephant in the room.

Matthew’s comments on Slater incensed young brother Andrew, who is as passionate as they come when it comes to the Blues.

‘Mate, I’m sick of you rapping Queensland, that’s what I’m sick of,’ Andrew, who is widely regarded as the Blues’ best ever player, fumed on live radio last month.

‘Put your Maroon jersey on, you should have some at home.

‘Just because you played four games and lost all four doesn’t mean you need to s**t bag NSW.’ 

Earlier this month, Matthew Johns confirmed the former NSW Blues halfback still wasn’t prepared to smoke the peace pipe.

‘Houston we have a problem, it’s official my brother is completely off me,’ Matty told listeners.

‘There were rumours he might not come. I thought the last three weeks of him not returning phone calls was laziness.

‘He is off me. This is nothing new for me and Joey (Andrew). We were forced to share a bedroom for 19 years.

‘We’ve had a fill of each other. Every six months we have a blue like this.’

While Matthew’s Origin career was relatively short, his brother played 23 times for the Blues, including a legendary man-of-the-match performance in Game Two of the 2005 series.

The pair have often clashed over the years, with most of their run-ins good natured.

Last July, Matthew used a radio debate about State of Origin as an opportunity to take a savage swipe at his brother over his love life.

The NSW side is known for dropping stars from their team with regularity – often when fans think they don’t deserve to be shown the door – whereas Queensland are regarded as showing more loyalty to their players.

Matty used Andrew – who is in his third long-term relationship – to sum up the Blues’ selection process.

‘It’s very NSW. I want people to know….be extremely concerned. Don’t marry anyone from NSW because we fall in love with new acquaintances very easily,’ he said on SEN.

‘What you do, is you just get rid of them. Just bring someone else in.

‘I mean, the best example is our best ever player, Andrew Johns, I think he’s onto his third wife.’

A friend of the mother-of-three killed after being shot 14 times by her husband who years earlier joked about his regrets over their marriage during an appearance on Family Feud has revealed the victim spent her final days fearing for her life.  

‘They seemed to be like the perfect family,’ Christie Krause told Fox News. ‘When we knew Tim and Becky, that was when they had gotten engaged and we’re getting married. And it was a very happy time in their life. I would have never thought that Tim could do something like this.

On Wednesday, a jury found Timothy Bliefnick, 40, guilty in the February 23 shooting death of 41-year-old Becky Bliefnick. 

Her body was found by her father after her family became concerned that she had not picked up her sons from school. She was shot 14 times.

Timothy Bliefnick was arrested March 13, twelve days after his Quincy, Illinois, home was searched. 

The couple was separated and going through a divorce but a friend of the family said nobody thought the relationship would end with a murder.

Krause said that she knew Becky had reached out to close friends and family in the days leading up to her killing as she vocalized fears her husband might harm her before their divorce was finalized. 

‘She had reached out so too many people that she was close to, saying that if anything happened to her that Tim would be the one that they should look at first,’ Krause explained. 

‘That’s really sad to hear, especially during the trial. It was very heartbreaking to know that she was in so much fear in the last few days of her life.’

Becky had sent a chilling message to her sister Sarah Reilly before she died, warning that if anything happened to her, ‘the No.1 person of interest is Tim’. 

‘I am putting this in writing that I’m fearful he will somehow harm me, come after me, or will try to [do] something to me that takes me away from the kids or the kids away from me,’ she said.

Krause told how she has prayed for the family and the three young sons their mother left behind hoping that they might remember her as an ‘all-around great person.’

‘My thoughts and prayers go out to them. These three boys have lost both of their parents. It’s heartbreaking to know what they have to go through for the rest of their life, that their father killed their mother.’ 

‘All I can continue to do is pray for them and hopefully offer happy memories from the past of their wonderful mother, who was just brilliant and beautiful and caring and just an all-around great person,’ Krause said.

In a statement following this week’s verdict  Becky’s family said: ‘We should not be living in a world where a crime like this is possible. We should not have to suffer a life without Becky who was robbed of her life in the most hateful, cowardly and cruel way.

‘Her boys were robbed of a loving, devoted mother. I was robbed of my sister and best friend.

‘My parents were robbed of their daughter, and as a parent myself, I cannot imagine a greater torture.

‘Becky was a niece, an aunt and a cousin; a friend, a colleague and a caregiver. All those who love her carry heavy heartache in the wake of this tragedy.

‘The judicial process cannot bring her back nor can it heal our wounds, but we are relieved that the verdict delivers justice, and we are thankful for all who made it a reality.

‘As a family of faith, we are deeply thankful for our family, friends and the complete strangers who have rallied around us and prayed for us during these incredibly dark days.’

A GoFundMe set up by Becky’s sister has raised $110,000 which will fund her funeral and care for her three children

Becky’s family said their priority was now raising her three young children.

‘We live with the hope that the worst moment of our lives cannot define who we are, as we pick up the pieces to raise Becky’s boys in the way we know she would want,’ they said.

‘While life cannot be normal in the ways it once was, such love and support does help restore the belief that the world does, in fact, have more good than evil.

‘As they go forward with the certain truth that their father murdered their mother, we ask that you keep Becky’s three, incredible boys in your prayers.

‘We will move forward by leaning on each other—and our faith—for healing. We will speak of Becky warmly and often, remembering the way she lived and loved, not the way she died. She will be missed forever and loved always.’

The court heard Bliefnick researched ways to commit the crime on Google, before riding to her home on a bicycle.

Investigators retrieved dozens of shell casings in the basement that the state police lab found was fired from the same gun as eight recovered from the crime scene.

Before the shooting, Bliefnick had taken his wife’s gun and refused to give it back, her attorney revealed. 

Officers didn’t find the murder weapon and although Becky’s handgun remains missing and forensic experts say it was among several models which could have matched the casings.

In the weeks after her death, Bliefnick attended her wake, but not her funeral as he didn’t want to be a ‘distraction’.

Police described him as being ‘cooperative’, after swooping on his property shortly before arresting him. 

The couple had three sons together, but were living separately at the time of Becky’s death, with court records showing their split was filed in February 2021.

Court records show that the couple, who married in 2009, had both filed restraining orders against each other.

Quincy Police said the murder was an unusual act of domestic violence in an otherwise safe town.

In 2020, Timothy Bliefnick and some of his family members appeared on ABC’s Family Feud. 

One of the questions asked by host Steve Harvey was, ‘What was the biggest mistake you made at your wedding?’ 

‘Honey, I love you,’ said Bliefnick, addressing his wife, before adding cautiously, ‘Said, ‘I do’? 

His response evoked laughter and gasps from the crowd and a blank stare from Harvey. 

He immediately told Harvey ‘Not mine to say. I love my wife.’ He also added, ‘I’m going to get in trouble for that, aren’t I?’ 

Harvey responded, ‘It’s going to be a lot of hell to pay at your house.’ 

The episode was recorded in the fall of 2019 but aired in the spring of 2020, according to ABC.

Prince Harry wore an awkward smile today as he was forced to watch the Coronation of King Charles III from his relegated seat in the third row – while his brother Prince William took centre stage alongside a radiant Kate Middleton. 

The Duke of Sussex, 38, seemed keen to put on a jovial display at Westminster Abbey amid ongoing speculation of the Royal Family’s inner turmoil following the release of his bombshell memoir Spare.

Wearing medals pinned to his suit jacket, he had been seen laughing and smiling as he entered the royal church alongside Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice and their respective husbands Jack Brooksbank and Edo Mapelli Mozzi.

He awkwardly nodded at other guests as he endured a solo walk down the aisle to take his seat next to his cousins ahead of the arrival of his father and soon-to-be Queen Camilla. 

Harry had not been seen for over 24 hours after his arrival and accommodation plans remained shrouded in secrecy – before it emerged he had flown into the UK on a commercial American Airlines flight on Friday morning. 

It comes after it was reported today that the King’s youngest son, who was expected to stay at Frogmore Cottage overnight, is invited to lunch at Buckingham Palace today following the historic service. 

It is not yet known, however, if the Duke will accept, given that he is expected to rush back to California to reunite with his wife Meghan Markle to celebrate their son Archie’s fourth birthday. 

The invitation will be seen by many as an olive branch from Charles after Harry’s explosive memoir Spare left several members of the Royal Family reeling – most notably his brother Prince William.

A Sky News narrator said: ‘The Palace have told us that Prince Harry has been invited back to Buckingham Palace this afternoon. 

‘They would not say whether he has said yes or not, we know it’s a flying visit.’ Reporter Kay Burley later said the invitation was to ‘lunch.’ 

It comes after it was revealed today that Harry – who is fifth in line to the throne – had been relegated to the third row inside the abbey for the service. 

He is seated between Princess Eugenie’s husband Jack Brooksbank and Princess Alexandra, the cousin of the late Queen who has not worked as a royal for 10 years. They are joined by Prince Andrew’s daughters Eugenie, 33, and Beatrice, 34, and her husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi. 

A lip reader told MailOnline that Harry told Mr Brooksbank that something was ‘lovely’ after arriving at the abbey. 

Jacquie Presser revealed what she thought the Prince said to Princess Eugenie’s husband during the exchange.

Presser said the conversation appeared light-hearted as they waited for the historic occasion to begin. 

She claimed the Prince smiled at Mr Brooksbank and said ‘That’s funny, mmm interesting’ before they discussed an upcoming event in the day, suggesting it might start at 3:45pm.

Also in the third row, at the other end from Harry, was the Duke of York, who stopped using the title His Royal Highness in an official capacity in January 2022. He wore his Order of the Garter robe.

William and Kate are in the front row at the abbey for the historic ceremony, with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Their youngest child, Prince Louis, who recently turned five, will take his seat after processing through the abbey, but will retire once the ceremony begins.

Only the other senior working royals will have a front row seat, made up of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – Edward and Sophie – and their children Lady Louise and James the Earl of Wessex, as well as the ever-popular Princess Anne and her husband Tim Laurence. 

A source told the Sun: ‘There were discussions that the seating could be arranged on line of succession. But that would have put fifth-in-line Harry front and centre — and with William and Kate.

‘Instead the decision was working royals only at the front and work back from there. Harry will be a long way from his father.’

Sources previously told the Mail there were ‘no plans’ for Harry to join the Royal Family on the Palace balcony or to even appear in official photos.

It emerged today that the Duke jetted into the UK on a commercial flight on Friday morning, leaving passengers gobsmacked. 

The King’s son arrived from Los Angeles on American Airlines flight AA136, which landed at 11.23am at London Heathrow yesterday.

Sources this week stressed that Harry will be ‘in and out of the UK in 24 hours’. He plans to dash back straight after the two-hour ceremony to be with Meghan Markle for their son Archie’s fourth birthday. 

He was expected to spend a final evening at Frogmore Cottage last night after his father decided to evict him and his American wife just days after the release of his memoir Spare.

As was widely expected, it was confirmed by the Palace this morning that Harry and Andrew will be mere spectators to the historic Coronation Ceremony given that they are no longer working royals. 

The two men will also be absent from the procession behind the Gold State Coach that will carry the newly crowned King and Queen to the Palace after the ceremony.

It means they will miss out, too, on stepping out onto the balcony at the Palace for a traditional photo op following the service.  

All eyes are on Harry as he faces his relatives in public for the first time since he criticised Charles, Camilla and the Prince and Princess of Wales in his explosive tell-all book. 

Insiders last night said they could not rule out him having an unplanned heart-to-heart with his father after arriving to the UK.

‘Of course you can never say never,’ said one. ‘Anything is possible, especially with him. And His Majesty loves his son despite everything.’ But others felt that this was extremely unlikely.

‘To be honest it seems a bit pointless him being there. His place in the pecking order couldn’t be clearer,’ another source told the Mail.

‘Attending is probably the right thing for him to do in the long run. He can at least say he came and made the effort to be with his father on his big day… But the red carpet is most definitely not being rolled out and, as it stands, he will just be another member of the congregation.’ 

Sources last month suggested that other family members – with the possible exception of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie – had no interest in talking with Harry at the Coronation beyond the most basic of greetings. 

It came after the prince publicly called on his family to apologise to himself and Meghan for what they saw as slights against them. 

He also demanded that his father and brother sit down with him before May 6 to thrash their issues out – a meeting which never came to fruition.

Adding fuel to the fire, Harry also indicated he has enough material to fill another book, which is likely to make the royals wary of encountering him.

He is set to make a quick exit after the Coronation, flying back to the US to mark Archie’s birthday, and is expected to attend only the abbey ceremony.

Sources previously said the decision by Meghan to remain in California had come as a relief in some circles, following fears her presence could have heightened family tensions.

It is also understood there was real concern in the Sussex camp about the public reception the couple would have received if they attended the Coronation together.

Friends, including Meghan’s biographer Omid Scobie, suggested her decision was largely due to the Coronation falling on the same day as Archie’s fourth birthday.

The couple had delayed answering their invitation for weeks, causing difficulties for organisers tasked with complex seating plans, transport and security for senior members of the Royal Family, world leaders and other dignitaries.

Sources described the negotiations as a game of ‘transatlantic ping pong’, and Harry was said to have wanted numerous assurances about arrangements.

Coronation organisers admitted that they were stressed about Harry’s plans and said that it was like ‘trying to communicate with Mars’.

Asked in an interview in January whether he would attend the Coronation if invited, Harry said ‘the door is always open’.

It was then reported last month that the duke would be coming to the Coronation alone, leaving Meghan at home with their children Archie and Lilibet.

Buckingham Palace later said it was ‘pleased to confirm’ the Duke of Sussex will be at Westminster Abbey. There had been uncertainty at the Palace over the Sussexes’ attendance.

Sources last month said Charles was very pleased his youngest son is coming and his mood was described as ‘generally quite forgiving’, however, his brother William was understood to still feel betrayed and angry, particularly by the revelations in Harry’s memoirs.

One source told The Telegraph that the ‘gulf’ between the brothers, who were once as close as siblings could be, is now so large they cannot see how their relationship can ever be repaired.

But their father hoped his Coronation could heal some of those wounds, sources said. 

Sussex supporters said Harry understood that the Coronation is the biggest day of his father’s life and felt it was right to be present, despite his attacks on the family. 

But more than one source confirmed to the Mail that there had been ‘extensive discussions’ between London and California over the issue of Harry’s attendanc.

One said: ‘Harry’s side was keen to find out, presumably because they wanted to rubber-stamp it, what the seating plan at the Abbey is. There’s been extensive back and forth about who they [Harry and Meghan] would be sitting behind if they came. And who would be behind them.’

Harry was apparently quite preoccupied by this particular detail, the source said.

Another source added: ‘This is true. There have been a lot of questions on detail for the Abbey.’

Publications with links to the Sussexes have suggested that Harry had a list of questions for the Palace about what would happen if he attended and wanted certain ‘assurances’, but did not detail what they might be.

When Harry and Meghan came to the UK for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee they joined other members of the Royal Family at St Paul’s Cathedral for a service of thanksgiving. But, notably and rather awkwardly, they were seated on the other side of the nave from Charles, Camilla, William and Kate.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been shunted away from the main seats as their rift with the Royal Family has grown.

There had been hopes the Coronation could provide an opportunity for reconciliation – but as of last month, members of the Royal Family were understood not to have an appetite for it.

One source told the Daily Express: ‘The Royal Family are focused on planning for the historic occasion and have no appetite or time at this stage to think about reconciliation.’
