Greene told “The View” hosts she doesn’t have a problem pointing fingers at everyone, even the leaders of her own party.

Greene called it an “embarrassment” that House members are getting paid, even though they aren’t in session. The Congresswoman said she is not taking her paycheck.

“I want all federal employees to be paid. I want all the programs to be funded, and I think that is our job, all of us together, Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate,” she said.
