republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia this week discussed the hard work of being a member of Congress. Along with the time the job takes away from family, Greene said a downfall was taking a pay cut. Greene made the comments during an appearance on journalist Glenn Greenwald's show that airs on Rumble. The interview touched on topics such as the war in Ukraine and the recent prolonged struggle to elect a new House speaker before Greene brought up some personal complaints

Greene cited financial losses as one of the negative aspects of her role as a representative. According to official records, rank-and-file members of Congress make $174,000 a year.

I've lost money since I've gotten here," Greene, who once owned a gym, said. Newsweek could not independently verify her previous salary .Greene also spoke of the time-consuming nature of being in Congress, noting her job takes up "too much" time. "It's turned into practically year-round," she said. "And for those of us in the House of Representatives, we have to run for Congress every two years. So you're practically campaigning nearly the entire time that you're here serving as a representative. "Greene told Greenwald that such a time commitment results in many lawmakers falling into what she said feels like a "social club here in Washington, DC."
