MAGA's Marjorie Taylor Greene says federal staff 'do not deserve their paycheck'

MAGA’s Marjorie Taylor Greene said that federal employees “don’t deserve their paychecks” while defending Elon Musk’s Department of Efficiency. Speaking at a House committee hearing Tuesday, the Georgia representative unleashed on her “Democrat colleagues pitching tantrums” over Musk’s dismantling of the federal government. Greene, a Trump loyalist, said that protests over Musk’s mass firings being “unconstitutional” were “an outright lie” because he has been appointed by the president as a special government employee. “You can protest all you want, but the American people disagree with you,” Greene said. “Those jobs are paid for by the American taxpeople who work real jobs, earn real income, pay federal taxes and then pay these federal employees. Federal employees do not deserve their jobs,” Green added. “Federal employees do not deserve their paychecks. And these are jobs that can be fired at will.” She accused Democrats of “protecting the bureacuracy.” Watch more on Independent TV: https://tinyurl.com/yc7ukx9n The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking newsbrand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.
