First, the far-right group's members will constantly press their fellow Republicans to move even further to the right, no matter how much it might damage the party and their colleagues' election prospects. Second, and much more satisfying, their fumbles, stumbles and lack of cohesion will make excellent fodder for Washington drama. The latter doesn't at all excuse the former and the damage the group has wrought over the last eight years. It does, though, lead to episodes like the recent Schrödinger's cat-esque vote to expel Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., from their ranks over her relationship with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. According to a new report from CNN, that's only the most public and dramatic episode inside what has become a band of rebels without a cause. And Monday evening's dramatic escalation in the far right's showdown with McCarthy over government spending brings into question just how substantial a role the House Freedom Caucus is actually poised to play moving forward.   This is a preview of Hayes Brown's latest article.
