Chairwoman of House DOGE committee says NPR, PBS could be on the chopping block because they ‘spread nothing but Democrat propaganda’

When asked by Fox News host Maria Bartiromo about where she expects to find “the most government waste,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) responded that there was no shortage of places to look. “It's all over, every single government department, program, grant programs, contracts. It is everywhere. And so when we look into a deep dive into this massive problem that caused America to be $36 trillion in debt, we're going to have to go in all kinds of buckets, and that's how I'll be separating things on the oversight subcommittee on DOGE: we'll be looking at everything from government funded media programs like NPR that spread nothing but Democrat propaganda,” Greene said.

“We'll be going into grant programs that fund things like sex acts in Malaysia, toilets in Africa, all kinds of programs that don't help the American people. I want to talk to the people at the Pentagon, and ask them why they can't find billions of dollars every little year and why they bill their audit.”

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead DOGE with a mandate to seek and destroy government waste. Musk and Ramaswamy are being asked to cut potentially a trillion or more dollars from the US government’s annual $6.75 trillion in spending and they will be looking at everything from over-priced soap dispensers for the US military to sponsoring drag shows in Ecuador.

Some federal workers have expressed concern that the new agency will mean massive cuts to the federal bureaucracy and that the audit will put enormous stress on employees.
