MTG says she's accumulated $63K in House mask fines and is not vaccinated

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has accumulated $63,000 in fines for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor, with additional fines likely to be imposed as she continues to defy the chamber's mask requirement during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I'm up to $63,000," Greene told The Hill outside the House chamber while not wearing a mask and confirmed that the fines are automatically "deducted out of my check."

Greene also volunteered that she is not vaccinated against COVID-19 after declining to disclose her vaccination status for months.

"I'm not vaccinated either. And I won't be getting vaccinated. And that's my own personal choice. I support people that want the vaccine. If anybody wanted one, I would drive them to go get one because I support people's freedom to make their own decision. But I do not want to get the vaccine myself, and I don't need to wear a mask. It's not changing anything," Greene said.

At what point do the other house members get to toss her out for their personal safety reasons?

Nancy Pelosi needs to come up with another way to force compliance.

This covidiot was very wealthy before she got into Congress so she doesn't need the money anyway. And now the deliberate refusal to mask up on the Cobgressional floor has become a fundraising juggernaut

poor lighting, no public access, rats for assistants and the nearest restroom two floors up......

The positive result from this is there will be $63,000 less contributed to some other Rethug's campaign or some Rethug think-tank.
