Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is reportedly vacationing in Costa Rica while tumultuous battles in Congress have been taking place over the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill.
The vacation was confirmed by a spokesman from her congressional office, according to Business Insider. The spokesman said that Greene always takes a trip with her family around Christmas time and that the trip was especially important this year following her divorce from her husband, Perry Greene, which was finalized on Thursday.

“For the past 15 years, Congresswoman Greene and her family always take a trip together at Christmas time. And this year was extra important,” the spokesman told the outlet. “All she’s done is follow Nancy Pelosi’s rules and she’s happy she could proudly vote NO to the $1.7 trillion Omnimonster.”
Greene “not only did her job as Congresswoman, but she also did her most important job: being a Mom. She’s spending much-needed and much-deserved quality time with her children and their father,” he said.

Greene is not alone in being away from the Capitol during the crucial session, as 200 other House members voted by proxy in a vote deciding whether or not to pass the new omnibus bill on Thursday.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has promised to remove proxy voting if he is voted in as speaker.
