Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just schooled Rep. Anna Luna on why her proxy voting initiative is absolutely wrong and how Democrats used it against them in the past.

There was a back and forth, but I’m going to skip to the most recent post by MTG because her explanation is solid.

Here’s what she said:

Poor Anna, you are being used by the Democrats to bring back proxy voting when you are clearly, in your own words, against people receiving taxpayer funded paychecks working from home.

In the 117th Congress (you weren’t with us yet because you had lost your election) Speaker Pelosi allowed proxy voting.

And it became the Democrats greatest tool to accomplish their agenda.

Many of the Democrats stayed home, proxy voted, and handed their voting cards over to Democrat leadership which allowed them to ram through their destructive Democrat agenda and by simply casting all the votes they needed to do it because they had the majority.

And it’s incredibly naive to believe your Democrat friends that proxy voting will only be kept to maternity leave.

This is Pandora’s box and members of Congress will want more reasons to proxy vote like sick leave, family occasions, and on and on.

They already talk about it!

Serving in Congress is a privilege, not a career choice.

If you need a job with better perks like maternity leave then step down and allow someone else to serve in your place.

Having children and prioritizing them over politics is certainly respectable and worthy.

But you should not be fighting 96% of Republicans, your own party, to change the way Congress has worked from our founding.

You should be fighting this hard for what the American people voted for, Trump’s agenda!

So like you said.

“This is ABSURD.” ????
