Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene told federal employees on Wednesday to prepare to “come to heel” to President-elect Donald Trump and the voters who are sending him back into office.

The Georgia Republican warned employees against attempts to undermine Mr. Trump as he takes control of the bureaucracy.

“Unelected bureaucrats do not have a mandate from the American voters. President Trump does,” the congresswoman said. “This means the unelected bureaucrats that work for the federal government will come into place and they will come to heel to the American people that delivered the mandate.”

She delivered her caution at a hearing of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which was called to examine telework policies in the federal government.

“President Trump was elected to put the federal bureaucracy in its place, and that includes back in the office,” she said.

Ms. Greene and other Republicans say federal employees worked to thwart Mr. Trump during his first term, and she said that won’t be allowed this time around.
