Oh, and being in Congress makes her miserable.

I suppose if nothing else, Georgia Representative Marjorie Greene is never hesitant to share her thoughts. Regardless, of course, of how it might be perceived by the public.

On Twitter, a video clip of her speaking directly to the camera was shared where she says:

“…Becoming a member of Congress has made my life miserable. I made a lot more money before I got here. I’ve lost money since I’ve gotten here. …It’s not a life that I think is like something that I enjoy because I don’t enjoy it…”

Ah. So Greene is miserable, and doesn’t think she’s making enough money?

Imagine, if you will, if she was listening to a young adult or someone on the left expressing this same sentiment. Imagine if it was Greene listening to them complaining about how they were miserable at work and didn’t think they were getting paid what they should.

We all know Greene — and any other Republican lawmaker for that matter — would tell them to either suck it up, or quit complaining and just quit.
