Marjorie Taylor Greene trolled over amendment to reduce Samantha Power's salary to $1 after DEI directives
WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Marjorie Greene (R-Ga) introduced an amendment to reduce the salary of US Agency for International Development administrator Samantha Power down to $1 over diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) directives on Wednesday, June 26.
During her speech on the House floor, the Congresswoman argued that “a person who abuses her position in government to meddle in democratic elections should be nowhere near public office," reported Mediate, a comment for which she was rebuked on the internet.
Greene had reportedly backed former President Donald Trump and voted against certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. After losing to incumbent Joe Biden, the presumptive GOP nominee had infamously attempted to overturn the results and is presently under indictment in two jurisdictions as a result of the efforts.
Marjorie Taylor Greene's speech against Samantha Power
“Samantha Power is a globalist, left-wing activist who uses government positions to force the regime’s views on the American people and the rest of the world," Greene stated on Wednesday.
"Under Samantha Power, USAID has installed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion advisers in all bureaus, offices, and overseas missions, and created an agency-wide dashboard and DEI scorecards to track staff compliance with the administration’s DEI directives. These blatantly political scorecards demand ideological conformity and should have no place in the government workplace or elsewhere."
"Furthermore, Samantha Power has repeatedly met with influential left-wing foundations while serving in the role. According to nearly 700 pages of internal calendar entries obtained by Fox News, Power met with George Soros’ Open Society Foundation multiple times. Of course she did," she continued.
"She also met with Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation at least five times. She also held meetings with several other powerful groups, like the Ford and Rockefeller foundations. Power’s intimate association with these entities exemplifies how the Biden administration, its officials, and agencies keep close contact with left-wing outside groups who help execute extreme policy initiatives."
"When Samantha Power served as Obama’s ambassador to the United Nations, she made hundreds of requests to intelligence agencies to unmask names associated with the 2016 Trump campaign in order to support the Russia hoax narrative. For her activism, the Biden administration granted Samantha Power a permanent suit on the National Security Council, a more prominent role than the USAID administrator she has had under previous administrations," alleged the Congresswoman.
"A person who abuses her position in government to meddle in democratic elections should be nowhere near public office," declared Greene, concluding, "Instead of fulfilling her role as an administrator, Samantha Power is focused on imposing a left-wing agenda throughout the entire US government and its proxies around the world.”
