The Republican lawmaker is in Costa Rica.
The House voted on a major government spending bill that she's dubbed the "omnimonster"
She didn't attend an address by Zelenskyy at the Capitol.
There has been a busy week for a Republican lawmaker.
She got into a war of words with Lauren Boebert, a far-right Colorado congresswoman. On Tuesday, she wrote a lengthy thread on her support for Kevin McCarthy to be Speaker of the House, and followed it up with an op-ed in the Daily Caller.
She accused Zelenskyy of being the US's "shadow president" and later posted a picture of a Capitol rioter with a stack of dollars.
She finalized her divorce from her ex- husband on Thursday.
She cast a vote against a government spending bill she dubbed the "omnimonster" that will fund the government through most of the next decade.
The congresswoman was in Costa Rica with her children and ex- husband.
Every year for the past 15 years, the congresswoman and her family take a trip to Christmas. The spokesman from her congressional office said that this year was important. The only thing she's done is follow Nancy Pelosi's rules and she's happy she could vote against the monster.
She also did her most important job: being a mom, according to the spokesman. She's spending quality time with her family.
An anonymous person told Insider on Thursday that they were on the same flight as Greene and her family from Atlanta to Costa Rica.
The congressman, who is worth millions of dollars, was seated in first class on the plane, according to the tip.
The average temperature this week in the northwest Georgia city is just over 37 degrees.
The person who tipped off said they saw her at the airport and at the baggage claim with her family.
The congresswoman and her family are at a resort.
A man who answered a number associated with the resort property confirmed that she was staying at the property and is a client of the resort, but refused to say when she arrived or how long she would stay.
He was willing to give a message from Insider to the congressman.
The man said that she was on vacation.
The congresswoman has continued to vote while out of the country.
She filed a letter with the Clerk of the House of Representatives on Monday stating that she was unable to attend proceedings in the House Chamber due to the ongoing public health emergency.
The purpose of proxy voting was to allow members of Congress to avoid going to Washington, DC in order to reduce the risk of exposure to COVID. Members of Congress have used it for a variety of reasons.
Nearly 200 other members of the House voted by proxy on Thursday and were set to miss the omnibus vote on Friday in order to avoid travel delays caused by historic winter storms.
The practice has been harshly criticized by Republicans. The bill was introduced in March. The congressman is ready to end proxy voting now that Covid is over, according to the spokesman.
Kevin McCarthy wants to end proxy voting if he becomes Speaker.
The story has been changed to say that her ex- husband is in Costa Rica with the family.
Business Insider has an article on it.
