She stated that she will not vote to fund the government unless Congress takes the following actions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold an impeachment inquiry vote on Joe Biden<\/li>\n<li>Defund\u2064 Biden&#8217;s weaponization of government<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate all COVID vaccine and mandates<\/li>\n<li>Provide no \u2062funding for the war in Ukraine<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Greene emphasized her\u200c stance in a video from the event, stating,\u2063 &#8220;I&#8217;ve already decided I will not vote to fund the government unless we have passed an \u200cimpeachment inquiry on Joe Biden.

In the past, continuing resolutions have kept the government running until a deal was reached. However, Greene and\u2064 some other conservatives\u200b are now opposing any deal.<\/p>\n<p>Greene explained her position, stating, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to continue to fund the Biden regime&#8217;s weaponized government. So there should be no funding for Jack Smith&#8217;s special counsel. We have to fire David Weiss, who is protecting Hunter Biden\u200c on his special counsel.

She stated, &#8220;I will not vote for continuing resolutions that fund mask\u2063 mandates, vaccine mandates, and COVID. That is over; Joe Biden \u2062even\u200d declared that COVID is over.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Greene drew a red line in the sand, declaring, &#8220;I will not vote to fund a war in Ukraine. \u200bWe have to \u200bhave peace.&#8221; She expressed her willingness to\u200d work with other members of the House when Congress reconvenes later this month.<\/p>\n<p>The White \u200cHouse responded to Greene&#8217;s comments, criticizing her stance. \u2062Spokesperson Andrew \u2063Bates said, &#8220;The last thing the American people deserve is for extreme House members \u200bto trigger a government shutdown that\u2064 hurts our economy, undermines our disaster preparedness, and\u200d forces our \u200dtroops to work without guaranteed pay.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greene, however, did not back down. In a series of posts\u200d on X, she expressed her frustration \u2062with the White House&#8217;s response. She\u2063 wrote, &#8220;The White House is attacking me for demanding an impeachment inquiry before I&#8217;ll vote to fund one penny to our over bloated $32 TRILLION dollar in debt\u200b failing government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She continued, &#8220;Your administration, or regime rather, is fueled by policies that legally partner with Mexican criminal cartels that enable the largest human\u200b trafficking and drug trafficking industry in world \u200bhistory.
