Lauren Boebert: “She is a mask wearing, quadruple vaxed Green New Deal…”

“And I rise to offer my amendment that reduces the salary of Melissa Schwartz, director of communications of the Department of Interior, to $1. Melissa Schwartz is yet another horrendous and miserable use of taxpayer dollars. Look at this. She is a mask wearing, quadruple vaxed Green New Deal extremist and unfortunately, a liberal troll who has harassed me even in committee hearing rooms. She shouldn't be employed at the Department of Interior. Melissa Schwartz belongs under a bridge. Melissa had the nerve and lack of respect to confront me in the halls of Congress following a Department of Interior meeting.” (00:32–00:46)
