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.
