'Pay up:' Marjorie Taylor Greene loses Supreme Court bid to overturn $100k in mask fines

The Supreme Court rejected Rep. Greene’s bid to overturn the hefty fines she incurred for repeatedly refusing to wear a mask on the House floor during the pandemic. “That’s right—Marjorie Taylor Greene took her Covid conspiracies all the way to the highest court in the land,” says Jen Psaki.

She had $ 183, 000 of PPP loans forgiven. Think of how many small business could have used the help but the money ran out because of people like her.

Any legal setback for Marge is a victory for intelligent, rational people.

It's striking that someone can have their annual salary cut in half, and yet still somehow be ridiculously overpaid.

[nancyk]

MTG is an embarrassment to our country.

[sk-wxcf]

Wonderful! She has complained about the pay and complained about having to show up to work, how it takes her away from her family. Maybe she will decide being in Congress is just too much trouble!

[Grammy]

Maybe she can get that $100K back she spent on McCarthy’s chapstick.

[bimmebeau]

Can't MTG be prosecuted for frivolous litigation or barratry in addition to having to pay the fine? Who is paying her court costs anyway?

[jaydee]

Well at least the people of America get back some of the "too much salary" she gets paid for the lousy job she is doing.

[mrmbsdr]

"mask up or pay up"...now if we could only get her to SHUT UP!

[yomonbooks]

Talking about tax fraud. Paying MTG $200k a year is misuse of the taxpayers money.

[phillipellison]

Marge shouldn't have to wear a mask. The best hope for the House is she mandated to wear a muzzle.

[lindabenny]

That makes me so happy! MTG doesn't care about anyone but MTG & Trump.

[julieb]

Good thing they take out of their paychecks cuz she wouldn't pay

[adiuntesserande]

She’s not vaccinated against covid. Her vaccination against sanity, however, seems to be in full working order!

[rainydays]

MTG just found out that she isn't as important as she thinks she is. The Supreme Court didn't care about her case.

[SuperCharlesPeter]

MTG is what we call in Australia a "boof head"!

A little while ago, two groups asked Dee Snider, of Twisted Sister, if they could use his song, "We're Not Gonna Take It" as a rallying cry for their cause. One group was protesting the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The other was protesting mask mandates. Dee only gave permission to the Ukraine group. He said (paraphrasing): "One cause was for legitimate protest again violence and oppression. The other was a lot of infantile foot-stomping over a minor inconvenience."

That sums it up perfectly. Good one, Dee.

[ZamboneeMan]

it really is amazing how far you get when you dont have to pay your own

[Johnnyo]

Such a disgraceful embarrassment to our country..

[truthcounts]

MTG PLEASE LORD keep her away from decent citizens.
