Marjorie Taylor Greene Loses Her Entire Congressional Salary After Judge Rules For Pelosi On Mask Mandate

... Greene complained to Alex Jones that she has lost her entire congressional salary due to her refusal to comply with the mask mandate on the House floor. Each violation of the mask mandate costs Greene $2,500.

... 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.

Greene and Massie’s lawsuit never stood a chance. Speaker Pelosi has the legal authority to make the rules in the House. There is no constitutional issue. No part of the Constitution says that people can do what they want if they choose not to follow the law.

Nice business, worth a lot of money but not billions. Clearly I would rather have her money than my money, but I am happier in my life. She is nuts.

according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Later she devoted her life to cross training, and founded a gym.

Then, like a plague bacillus, she was washed into politics in 2016, probably because she liked Trump. Her district is considered the 10th most Republican in the country.

That means, for once, little Margie might do some actual good for others in need.

That money could feed a lot of evacuees.

Could it be used to pay the investigator to get the goods on her involvement in 1/6 and perhaps if she was involved in the bombs at the DNC and RNC?

She will get some of that.

She was masked in the departing airport, one on the plane and one in the arriving airport. Never once came off. She is a snotty, rich kid, affluenza-sick fraud.

Complete with her Louis Vuitton Spring collection bag and her Prada sneakers.

And also she knows all house members are tested so feels safer taking off mask.

It blows my mind how crazy some of the rights congress people are.

And of course it will bother her. If it didn’t, she would have donated her salary from Day One.

#EmptyGreene, Boebert, Gaetz, crazy attention seekers, are pulling in big bucks by seeking the spotlight. The crazy is just part of the grifting, as is being in Congress.

We can't allow the new normal to become running for Congress to improve your con, that's why we have religion, FCS!
