Lauren Boebert over the Colorado congresswoman's criticism of Greene's past belief in "Jewish space lasers."

The entire time, the Georgia congresswoman was vacationing with her kids in Costa Rica.
"For the past 15 years, Congresswoman Greene and her family always take a trip together at Christmas time. And this year was extra important," said a spokesman from her congressional office. "All she's done is follow Nancy Pelosi's rules and she's happy she could proudly vote NO to the $1.7 trillion Omni monster."
An anonymous tipster informed Insider on Thursday that they had been on the same flight as Greene and her family from Atlanta to the Central American nation on Sunday.

Sounds like they still allow proxy voting. Meanwhile she's trying to find a hotel pool boy.

Male chimp will attack eventually. Not true!
She has brought us a long way from primitive thoughts dispelled many moons ago.

(32,866 posts)How many 23 and 25-year-olds travel with their Mom? That would be very unusual for most American families. Am I right? Her youngest son is about 19, maybe he's in college now? I don't know.
This whole thing of using her family as a convenient buffer makes me wonder. I mean, she barn-stormed the country demanding that the media pay attention to her. Now she won't answer any questions or talk to anyone. Why? Because she's on Christmas holidays with her family. But her husband just divorced her, and the kids are too old to be tagging along with Mom.

(1,766 posts)My mother and brother go to Vegas every few years--and have for 30+ years now. Started when he was in his 20s. They used to invite me, until it sunk in that I had zero interest in Vegas. Makes my skin crawl, just thinking about the place.
I'm not saying it's the case with Perjury Traitor Greed, but some families actually do like each other enough to travel together. Even if the adult children are in their 20s-30s.
Really.
