Citing lies, her own opposition to progressive policies, and “false” Facebook videos, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced an amendment to decrease out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1. She even accused Buttigieg of using “private planes funded by taxpayers to receive awards for the way certain people have sex.”

House Republicans promptly voted to pass it.
