No tote bag for MTG this year.
Firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has wasted no time breaking out the red pen as she gears up to head a new House subcommittee dedicated to finding and eradicating wasteful spending — and is already rattling her saber at liberal tote-bag-dispensing National Public Radio.
Kentucky Republican Rep. James Comer — who has been tasked with setting up the new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, the brainchild of Trump appointees Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — tapped Greene to lead a House panel to fuel the effort.
Speaking on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures” Sunday about her impending new role, Greene said DOGE will be combing federal coffers for budgetary inefficiencies across the board.
“We’ll be looking at everything from government-funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda, we’ll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex apps in Malaysia, toilets in Africa,” she told host Maria Bartiromo.
“All kinds of programs that don’t help the American people,” she said, also excoriating the Pentagon for failing its seventh consecutive audit.
“I want to talk to the people at the Pentagon and ask them why they can’t find billions of dollars every single year and why they fail their audit,” she said.
She also said she plans to wield her new oversight authority to hold governors and mayors of ultra-migrant-friendly so-called sanctuary states and cities to account.
“I’d like to … have them come before our committee and explain why they deserve federal dollars if they’re going to harbor illegal criminal aliens in their states and cities,” she said.
“We don’t care about people’s feelings — we’re going to be searching for the facts and we’re going to be verifying if this is worth spending the American people’s hard-earned tax dollars on.”
