House GOP Votes To Cut Pete Buttigieg’s Salary To $1

November 7, 2023 Extremists, Republicans

Politico reports:

The House GOP moved to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to just $1, the conference’s latest move as conservatives have explored using obscure funding rules to exact political pain on the Biden administration.

The cut for Buttigieg was adopted by voice vote as an amendment to the fiscal 2024 Transportation-HUD spending bill and was put forth by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.). The bill still needs to be approved by the full House but stands no chance at approval from the Democratic-controlled Senate.

It’s not the first time House Republicans have explored using the so-called Holman Rule, which allows Congress to reduce salaries of certain federal employees in spending bills.

Read the full article. As you’ll hear in the opening to her floor speech below, MTG is ever so triggered that Buttigied has argued for fairness in transportation infrastructure projects. Which, by her telling, is racist. And of course, she can’t resist taking a shot at his sexuality. I invite to you revisit last week’s utterly scathing resolution to censure MTG by Rep. Becca Balint.
