Marjorie Taylor Greene just can't seem to figure things out, and she was fined over $5,000 recently for violating the rules about wearing a mask in the House of Representatives. This is her third violation of the rule and the third time that she's been fined, which begs the question of who she thinks she is sticking it to? Either she's a complete dolt who can't remember to wear a mask, or she's trying to prove a point that keeps costing her $5,000 a pop. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Marjorie Taylor Greene was recently fined, once again, for refusing to wear a mask in the US House of Representatives that has had a mask mandate in place for basically since the beginning of the pandemic, minus two months this summer prior to the Delta variant emerging. And this is now the third time that Marjorie Taylor Greene has been fined for not complying with this mask mandate, meaning she has now been fined a grand total of $5,500 because she can't follow the rules. The first offense is 5,000, by the way, then of course you have 2,500 for each subsequent offense, three offenses, $5,500. That's what's happening. My question here, Marjorie though, is why? Who do you think you're owning by going onto that House floor without wearing a mask, right? Because we know that you've protested the fact that you have to wear a mask in the House of Representatives.
That's actually what led to your first fine. So we know that you object to this, and we know that you're trying to make a political statement by not wearing your mask, but you're literally only hurting yourself. You're the one that has to pay that money, Marjorie. That, that's coming out of your salary. So who's, who's really the one getting owned here, is what I want to know. Like, do you not realize, are you not intelligent enough to understand that the only person suffering from this is you. You're not sticking it to the Democrats. They're laughing at you. They're laughing at you every single time they get to issue a new fine. You're not going to be able to appeal these things because they've already been upheld, by the ethics committee, by rules committees, everybody involved in basically managing the House of Representatives from outside has said that these fines are perfectly normal and perfectly legal.
So you're not going to get out of it. You have to pay the money, all because you want to make a stupid political stand, or even worse than that you're so basically just kind of in the clouds that you don't remember to wear your mask to this place where you have to wear a mask every single day. So whichever way you slice it, if you're trying to make a political stance, message not received, and you have to pay a bunch of money, or you're just an idiot who can't remember things from one minute to the next and you got to have, you're going to have to pay up for that. Honestly, I don't even care which situation it is we're talking about here. Marjorie Taylor Greene needs to be wearing a mask on the floor of the House. She has not disclosed her vaccination status. We do not know if she is immunized or not. And this is to protect everybody in that body, Republicans and Democrats alike. So if you want to make your stupid little political stands, go for it.. But do it outside the House of Representatives, unless you want to continue punishing yourself and having everyone laugh at you for it.
