Newsweek reports:
Lauren Boebert has introduced an amendment in the House that would cut the salary of Melissa Schwartz, a senior figure within the Department of the Interior, to just $1. On Tuesday, the congresswoman called her a “liberal troll” who “belongs under a bridge.”
Boebert said: “Melissa Schwartz is yet another horrendous and miserable use of taxpayer dollars. She is a mask-wearing, quadruple-vaxed, Green New Deal extremist and, unfortunately, a liberal troll who has harassed me even in committee hearing rooms.
