The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The claim has two parts: first, that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene voted to strip funding from school lunch programs; second, that she collects $174,000 in taxpayer salary. The second part is accurate as members of the U.S. House of Representatives receive a standard salary around $174,000, which is public information and uncontested.

Regarding the first part, the search results show that Greene has voted against certain spending bills that included funding for various projects in her district (Newsweek, Business Insider). However, none of the sources explicitly confirm that she voted to cut or strip funding specifically from school lunch programs. The articles mention her voting against bills with earmarks or funding for local projects but do not detail votes on school lunch program funding.

Without direct evidence or a specific bill number showing she voted to reduce or eliminate school lunch program funding, the claim that she voted to strip such funding is not fully substantiated by the available information. It is possible she opposed broader spending bills that included such funding among many other items, but this nuance is important.

Therefore, the claim is misleading because it implies a direct and intentional vote against school lunch programs specifically, which is not clearly supported by the sources. The salary part is factual and standard for a congressperson.

In summary, while Greene has opposed some federal spending bills including funds for her district and does receive a taxpayer-funded salary of about $174,000, there is no clear evidence from these sources that she specifically voted to strip funding from school lunch programs.
