House Republicans moved to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1, as lawmakers debate spending bills ahead of the government funding deadline next week.
The salary cut for Buttigieg was put forth by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and adopted by voice vote as an amendment to the 2024 Transpiration and Housing and Urban Development spending bill.
“Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him,” Green posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny.”
The underlying bill needs to be approved by the full House and is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.
Hopefully, the American people will stop letting her be in congress, and she can be forgotten to the point that the Magic: The Gathering folks can have their letters back.
I prefer calling her Perjury Greene for that reason and because I watched her commit blatant perjury during the hearing to determine whether she was fit to run for re-election. In a court setting. Under oath. While it was streaming live for the entire world to see. No consequences whatsoever 🤬
Not American people. republiQans in north Georgia. Yes, they’re American people, but the’re also dumb enough to have voted for her twice now. So. Y’know, it’s not great.
Technically, the rest of the Americans could also remove her from congress, by electing congresspeople who would remove her. But that’s even less likely than Greene being removed by direct voting.
