Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims She's Working 'For Free' With All Her Pay Going To Mask Fines

😂😂🤣🤣😂😂

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has claimed that she’s working “for free” in Congress because “they take all of my money away” to cover her fines for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor.

“They take the money straight out of my checks,” Greene grumbled to right-wing podcaster and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on video. It wasn’t clear when the tape was recorded.

By the end of December 2021, it was reported that Greene had piled up over $100,000 in fines. Congressional salary is $174,000 a year, so since Greene has continued to refuse to wear a mask, her salary is likely gone.

I mean, she maybe shows up for votes and to scream at random people, but she has no actual congressional work, being too awful to actually be on committees.

Let's face it, she's a flame-thrower, which is not what she's paid to do.

There is a real simple solution:

Resign.

Quit now, and you won't work and won't have to pay mask fines.

You wind up happier by not paying fines, and we wind up happier no longer having you represent the evil and scummy of this country.

“All my money goes to meth!”?

Or

“It really hurts when I hit myself!”

So…uhhhmmm…stop that.

... I think Pelosi and the House should make an exception when masks are no longer required - that being Ms. Marjorie Taylore Greene has to wear one FOREVER!

If a Democrat had violated a House rule once, she’d be calling for their expulsion.

Oh…is it too late to create a new House rule? Any Member who accrues fines of more than $173,000 in one year is automatically expelled.

maybe stop breaking dishes?

Attention seeking outrage queen.

Her entire reason for seeking office was "No one is paying attention to me" over her outrage that a man in drag read stories to children during story hour, and a woman in a head scarf came out of the same library.

Three toes, Boebert, Cawthorn, all blithering, seditious, willfully ignorant one term idiots.
