House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) will host a fundraising benefit on Wednesday afternoon to help support Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), with the GOP leader aiming to raise more than $50,000, a source familiar with the event confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
The benefit comes just weeks after Greene was ousted from the House Freedom Caucus, largely due to her strengthening alignment with GOP leadership. The move raised eyebrows among current members, as the caucus seeks to position itself further to the Right than most members of the party.Greene confirmed the benefit is scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, telling reporters the event has been planned “for a while” — suggesting it was in the works long before her removal.
Members say caucus leader Rep. Scott Perry attempted to call the congresswoman throughout the July recess to speak with her related to the vote. However, Greene did not answer or return any of his calls, according to Rep. Ken Buck . Greene told reporters on Wednesday she has not talked with Perry, but declined to say whether the chairman had contacted her.
McCarthy has expressed support for Greene after reports of her removal, telling reporters on Tuesday he thinks her removal is “a loss for the Freedom Caucus.”
