In late November 2021, Rep. Nancy Mace publicly criticized Rep. Lauren Boebert after Boebert made Islamophobic remarks about Rep. Ilhan Omar, comparing Omar to a suicide bomber. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene responded by turning on Mace, and the resulting exchange produced some of the most direct Republican-on-Republican invective of that Congress.

Greene wrote on X that Mace was "the trash in the GOP Conference" and accused her of not being conservative, citing her position on abortion. Mace responded by telling reporters, in her own characterization, per The Hill, that Greene was "batshit crazy" and called her "a grifter," per the same reporting. The Daily Dot documented the full Twitter exchange. Greene has denied no wrongdoing and Mace did not retract her remarks.

MTG's "trash" post (November 30, 2021):

"Nancy Mace is the trash in the GOP Conference. Never attacked by Democrats or RINO's (same thing) because she is not conservative, she's pro-abort. Mace you can back up off of Lauren Boebert or just go hang with your real gal pals, the Jihad Squad."

Mace's reply (November 30, 2021):

"I'm a pro-life fiscal conservative who was attacked by the Left all weekend (as I often am) as I defied China while in Taiwan. What I'm not is a religious bigot (or racist). You might want to try that over there in your little 'league.'"

In separate remarks to reporters, Mace called Greene "bat-crazy" and used the word "grifter", those characterizations are attributed to Mace and reported by The Hill; they are her words.
