During her press conference, Greene said that Democrats had \"stripped my district of their voice\" by removing her from the committees, later saying she is liberated from having to work on the committees.

Greene said that by removing her from committees \"they actually stripped my district of their voice. They stripped my voters of having representation to work for them for the budget -- a successful business owner that knows how to make a profit...that's what my district voted for me for.\"

She also apologized for some of her previous conduct when asked if there was \"anything\" she was sorry for.

\"I am sorry for saying all those things that are wrong and offensive and I sincerely mean that. And I am happy to say that. I think it is good to say when you’ve done something wrong,\" she said.

She had previously said she wouldn't apologize, tweeting Saturday, \"I won't back down. I'll never apologize. And I'll always keep fighting for the people.\"

She took the opportunity to denounce the upcoming Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump over his role in the Jan. 6 riot as a \"circus.\"

\"Republican voters support him still. The party is his. It doesn't belong to anybody else,\" she said of Trump. \"This impeachment trial that's going to happen next week is a circus....everyone here knows that he did not cause the attack on the Capitol, nor did I.\"

Greene also went after the 11 Republicans who joined with Democrats to boot her from her committee assignments.

\"Well there were 10 that voted for impeachment against President Trump and they definitely paid the price, they heard from Republican voters. There were 11 that voted against me yesterday. That's something that our leaders should be very upset about,\" Greene said.

\"Kevin McCarthy and the rest of the Republican majority is working very hard at taking back the majority and when you have Republicans in the ranks voting against one of their own, opening the door for Democrats to go after every single Republican next, that really is a big betrayal. And that could cost us the majority in 2022,\" she said.
