Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been fined $48,000 this year for not wearing a mask on the House floor — and she’s vowing to keep defying the mandate.

The House Ethics Committee issued a statement Monday regarding the Georgia Republican, indicating she most recently broke the rule on Sept. 28.

The outspoken mask critic — who was suspended from Twitter for railing against the COVID-19 vaccine — previously flouted the mandate on Sept. 27 and Sept. 22. She did not file an appeal in any of those incidents.

Greene has been spotted without a mask in the House chamber at least 20 times since May, according to a letter from House Sergeant at Arms William Walker obtained by The Post.

48 grand? WTH!

[1Old Pro]

Greene and two other House Republicans who have refused to wear masks have filed a federal lawsuit challenging the mandate and the associated fines as unconstitutional. That lawsuit is still pending

She'll never pay a cent. More Republicans should grow a pair and do the same.

There’s no teeth to the “mandate.” I wouldn’t pay a dime either.

Time for her to go after the house members that are taking the horse paste that doesn’t work instead of getting shot.

[Starboard]

Just ignore the fine, like any Dem would do.

Pelosi Mafia extortion gig

[southernindymom]

just write a check from the whatever fund that is and let the check bounce, they never collect the money anyway... well from Demonrats they don’t anyway.

The Vax and Masks don’t work.

“Time for her to go after the house members that are taking the horse paste that doesn’t work instead of getting shot.”

Totally agree. I hope she plays hardball. She doesn’t owe the Republicans who voted her off the committees anything but the back of her hand. I hope she exposes the whole group of cowards who exempted themselves while their constituents are forced mask up and take a dangerous “vaccine”.

She’s a leader. Can’t say the same about Kevin McCarthy.

[WASCWatch]

No legal basis, nor method to collect this fake fine. Her pay comes from the Treasury Department.

Basically, an Eff you to Pelosi

“Time for her to go after the house members that are taking the horse paste...”

And while she’s at it, maybe she can tell us who has used the sexual assault slush fund.

I like this lady more all the time.

Any time she gets tired of Georgia I bet she could find a nice spot here in Texas

[windsorknot]

$48K. That’s a lot of ice cream in Pelosi’s fancy freezer.

[Karoo]

I know!!!

Dims never obey Constitution or other laws. Plus they lie!

[Magnum44]

Just curious. That’s my tax dollars she is being fined for. I would like some accountability as to where the fine goes?

[Stepan12]

MTJ should write a check for 48K, but make it payable only in gold and silver dollars. I am sure there are banking regulations that allow someone to complete an affidavit that one can write An affidavit pointing out that the person does not owe the fine. The government representing Nancy Pelosi has about 600 days to challenge such an affidavit.

There are ways to fight Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi would just take the money and buy herself a month’s supply of booze for herself.

[nascarnation]

Is this like Nascar where the “fines” dough basically gets recycled to everybody who didn’t get fined?

Or course that’s only like 90 bucks a head...

[minnesota_bound]

Pelosi does not wear a mask except in front of cameras.
