It must be nice to be able to throw away two thousand five hundred dollars because you don’t feel like following the rules at work that are designed to keep other people safe.
Greene is showing that she won’t follow the rules, so there is no way that she should ever be given the authority to make rules or conduct oversight on any committee.

Rep. Greene has now been fined more than $50,000 for not wearing a mask on the House floor. She is jeopardizing the lives of staff and members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Her behavior is selfish, reckless, and stupid, and it should be expected that Kevin McCarthy will do absolutely nothing about it.
