NATIONAL NEWS – House approves amendment to cut Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1

The House voted to pass an amendment to cut Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1. The bill was introduced by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-GA, and was passed by a voice vote on Tuesday. In February the Department of Transportation’s internal watchdog announced an audit into Buttigieg’s use of government private jets.

“BREAKING: I’m proud to announce my amendment to FIRE Pete Buttigieg just PASSED the House,” said Greene on social media. “Pothole Pete staged fake bike rides to the White House and used private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex. American taxpayers should not be on the hook for paying for his lavish trips or his salary.” Presumably, if the bill passes the Democratic-controlled Senate will block it.
