Rep. Majorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said Tuesday she has accrued more than $60,000 in fines for refusing to wear a mask on the House floor. She told The Hill on the steps of the Capitol that she’s “up to $63,000.” The representative also confirmed the fines are automatically deducted from her checks. Vice News calculated that means Greene has forfeited more than a third of her yearly salary. According to a letter from the House Sergeant at Arms, she has been fined for flouting mask regulations more than 20 times. She received a warning in May, a $500 fine for her first offense, and $2,500 for each subsequent violation.
On Monday, in an interview with conservative outlet Newsmax, the far-right congresswoman complained about the fines to host Chris Salcedo. She also boasted, unprompted, about being unvaccinated against the coronavirus. “I’m not vaccinated either. And I won’t be getting vaccinated,” Greene said. “And that’s my own personal choice.”

Just don't pay it.
I love this woman!
I would marry her if I wasn’t married already.
reminds me of the old don rickles line: I love my wife but she is ill.
I hope she’s challenging this in court!
She’s awesome.
I read that as unwaxxed.
You go girl! Go!!

Dang! The nazis like their little submission muzzles, don’t they?
They had/have a fund to secretly cover sexual harassment claims. Wonder if they have the same thing for COVID fines? :)
Millions of two shot fully vaxxed Americans are about to become unvaxxed again due to the approval of boosters for all adults. Run, sheep, run and get your booster … don’t look now but you’re unvaxxed too.
So you didn’t even read your own excerpt?
“”” the fines are automatically deducted from her checks “””
When is Pelosi going to be fined for violating the Stock act of 2012 about 20 billion times?
True, but she may be reimbursed from “elsewhere.”
I would contribute to her GoFundMe.
She probably has a Congressional page for donations to her for the job she does in Congress.
I’d fund her.
The best part is how much she triggers the crazies
MTG will be an excellent part of President DeSantis’ Administration starting in January 2025.

Please define “far-right congresswoman”. Would that be the opposite of “far-left pseudo-journalist”?
