Rep. Claudia Tenney Introduces Amendment to Slash Press Secretary’s Salary
On Thursday, Rep. Claudia Tenney made a bold move by introducing an amendment to House Resolution 4664, a bill that funds the government through September 30, 2024. Her amendment aims to reduce President Joe Biden’s press secretary’s salary to just $1.
In a powerful speech on the House floor, the New York Republican stated, “I rise today to offer an amendment to reduce the salary of Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, to $1.” Tenney went on to criticize Jean-Pierre for repeatedly lying to the American people, displaying condescension towards reporters, and violating the Hatch Act.

Tenney also highlighted several false statements made by Jean-Pierre, including claims about illegal immigration decreasing under Biden’s administration, the 2016 election being “stolen,” and the stimulus bill not causing inflation. She questioned how someone with such a history of deceit could continue to serve as the president’s liaison to the American people.
Furthermore, Tenney accused Jean-Pierre of anti-Semitism, referencing an Op-Ed she wrote that argued against pro-Israel policies. Tenney suggested that even members of the Democratic Party would not support such a position.
Although Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer objected to the amendment, calling it “another unserious amendment,” Tenney remains determined to push for the reduction in salary.
A similar amendment to slash Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1 recently passed the House, demonstrating a growing trend among Republicans to challenge the salaries of high-ranking officials.

What does Rep. Tenney’s amendment and its passing signify about the current Republican sentiment towards high-ranking officials in the Biden administration
Rep. Claudia Tenney, a Republican from New York, has made a thought-provoking move by introducing an amendment to House Resolution 4664. This bill is responsible for funding the government until September 30, 2024. Tenney’s amendment seeks to decrease the salary of President Joe Biden’s press secretary to a mere $1.
In a powerful speech delivered on the House floor, Rep. Tenney explained her intentions, saying, “I rise today to offer an amendment to reduce the salary of Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, to $1.” Tenney went on to criticize Jean-Pierre for repeatedly lying to the American people, displaying condescension towards reporters, and violating the Hatch Act.
The New York Republican highlighted several false statements made by Jean-Pierre, including claims about decreasing illegal immigration under Biden’s administration, the assertion that the 2016 election was “stolen,” and the belief that the stimulus bill did not cause inflation. Tenney questioned how someone with such a history of deceit could continue to serve as the president’s liaison to the American people.
Furthermore, Tenney accused Jean-Pierre of holding anti-Semitic views, referring to an Op-Ed she wrote that argued against pro-Israel policies. Tenney insinuated that even members of the Democratic Party would not support such a position.
Despite objections from Maryland Rep. Steny Hoyer, who dismissed the amendment as “another unserious amendment,” Tenney remains steadfast in her determination to advocate for the reduction in salary.
This proposition to diminish Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1 recently passed in the House, signifying a growing trend among Republicans to challenge the salaries of high-ranking officials.
In conclusion, Rep. Claudia Tenney’s amendment to slash President Biden’s press secretary’s salary to $1 is a significant move that points to the growing discontent and dissatisfaction among Republicans towards the current administration. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if other similar amendments are introduced in the future.
