He should work for free.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is so fed up with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg that she brought forth an amendment and her fellow Republican lawmakers were on board to pass it.
"Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job," she wrote in a thread on Twitter/X in a football spike following the vote that reduced his salary to $1 passed. "It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him."
Taylor Green clearly thought four quarters of pay was too much, adding: "I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny."
In another missive she lobbied for him to be fired for pretending to work and being more concerned about optics over substance.
"I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House," she tweeted. "Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex."
The move, described as an oral amendment to the fiscal 2024 Transportation-HUD spending bill, is most likely a symbolic slight to the Biden administration, since it will go to the full House and then likely has zero chance of leaving the Democratic-led Senate, according to Politico.
House Republicans are taking advantage of what the outlet noted as the Holman Rule, which allots Congress with powers to trim salaries of certain federal employees in spending bills.
