Marjorie Taylor Greene says that federal workers don't deserve their paychecks or their jobs

Tweet

Wow. That is an outrageous statement. In a House Oversight Committee hearing yesterday she said that federal workers don't deserve paychecks because their jobs don't generate revenue for the government. Um not every job's purpose is to generate revenue. Mine certainly isn't. A plumber at a hospital's certainly isn't. A garbage collector's certainly isn't. Her staff in her House office's certainly isn't. The White House chef's certainly isn't. That doesn't mean that those jobs aren't important. That doesn't mean that those people should volunteer their time and work for free. How disrespectful. A fellow House member (Veronica Escobar) called her out on it on Twitter and said "Marjorie Taylor Greene believes 6,008 of her constituents are unworthy of a job or a paycheck because they work for the federal government. To quote her favorite person: SAD!” It would be interesting to find out how those federal workers feel about her comments and if they will vote for her in the future.
