Republican firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been tapped to chair a new congressional subcommittee aimed at eliminating government waste under the newly formed “Department of Government Efficiency,” which is set to be led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — and firing government employees could be part of her plan.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced the creation of the new GOP-controlled “Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE)” subcommittee in the next Congress, and Greene, a loyal supporter of President-elect Donald Trump, will chair it.
Greene said in the new position, she will work to “identify and investigate the waste, corruption, and absolutely useless parts of our federal government.”
“Our subcommittee will provide transparency and truth to the American people through hearings,” she said in a statement.
“The goal of DOGE is to bring accountability and GUT useless government agencies.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin, the ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, slammed the committee and Greene’s involvement in it.
