Greene has in recent weeks used procedural moves to delay Covid-19 relief. She was stripped of her committee power last month after House Democrats rebuked her for backing baseless claims that the 2020 election was fraudulent and took her to task for her social media posts calling for the executions of prominent Democrats.
