Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) announced Wednesday the successful passage of her amendment to the 2024 Transportation and Housing and Urban Development spending bill to de-fund the salary of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg under the Holman Rule.
The Holman rule allows Congress to effectively strip funding from an individual federal employee’s salary or to cut a specific program and has been used on and off in various forms since 1876.
According to The Hill, Buttigieg’s salary will be reduced to $1 under the new amendment. The full bill has yet to come to a vote before the House.
Greene wrote in a post to X, “Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him. I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny.”
Sharing video of her introducing the Amendment Greene wrote, “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.
