Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced in a post on X Thursday morning that legislation will soon be considered and voted on by the House that includes cuts to the two government funded media outlets, NPR and PBS.

The federal government has been shelling out about $500 million each year to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a private corporation created by Congress. CPB then distributes the funding to public radio and television stations across the country, including NPR and PBS.

President Trump signed an executive order earlier this month, directing Congress to strip federal funding from NPR and PBS, saying “no media outlet has a constitutional right to taxpayer subsidies, and the Government is entitled to determine which categories of activities to subsidize.”

NPR sued the Trump administration this week over the slashed funding, wildly claiming it violates their First Amendment rights.

Now Rep. Greene announced plans for Congress to codify Trump’s executive order and make the cuts official.  She wrote:

🚨 IT’S HAPPENING: HOUSE TO VOTE ON DEFUNDING NPR & PBS 🚨

After years of demanding an end to the use of YOUR hard-earned tax dollars to fund Left-wing propaganda, we’re finally getting it DONE.

Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the relentless work of @DOGE & @DOGECommittee, the first rescissions package is heading to the House, and it includes cuts to NPR and PBS!

Public broadcasting has become nothing more than a mouthpiece for the Democrats’ woke agenda. They lie about our President, smear conservatives, and push radical gender ideology on our children, all while raking in taxpayer dollars from a nation that overwhelmingly rejects their propaganda. No more.

This is the beginning of the end for taxpayer-funded fake news. If liberal billionaires want this garbage on the air, they can pay for it themselves. The American people shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill.

This is exactly why @DOGE & @DOGECommittee exist: to slash the waste, fraud, and abuse infecting the federal government. The vote to defund taxpayer-funded Democrat propaganda can’t come soon enough. I’ll be proud to vote YES.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Tex.) also declared it’s time to codify the funding cuts to NPR into law.

And Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) slapped down NPR’s claims, declaring, “The First Amendment does not entitle NPR to your tax dollars.”

Greene posted a video clip and explained, “Throwback to when I confronted the heads of NPR & PBS and asked them to justify why YOUR tax dollars should fund Democrat propaganda. Spoiler: They couldn’t. It’s a total waste of your hard-earned money, and we’re DONE paying for it!”
