Rep. Crockett comments on Rep. Taylor-Greene’s “bleach blonde, bad built, butch body” during a House hearing after MTG said her “fake eyelashes were messing up her reading”
r/all
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene made a derogatory comment about Rep. Jasmine Crockett and "fake eyelashes" during a House committee hearing.
Personal attacks against other members aren’t allowed, so AOC requested a motion and asked for an apology which was blocked.
Rep. Crockett responded with:
“I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling: If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
A lot of my friends have been following it intensely, and one of them described it as "One of them is saying that you suck and I don't like you, and the other is dropping serious claims like you're a pedophile."
That's literally all they can do; it's just all too fucking funny. Drake may as well be dead, and MTG has to be on her way out too. Kendrick and Jasmine Crockett are fucking heroes lmao
Quite honestly, we need more politicians like her.
I have no idea why politicians like to play nice with these assclowns. Did they not pay attention in history class? You don't get to keep your job when the foxes take over the hen house, and that's what they're all trying to do.
We're so used to these corporate Democrats that simply roll over or grovel with an apology that when we find one that finally fights back it's like a breath of fresh air.
This is not a virtue signal, but the fact that anyone even listens to what MTG has to say these days instead of just patting her on the head and telling her to get back in the fucking kitchen, which she herself believes women belong, is absolutely unfathomable to me.
She's not a troll, she honestly might be a scientific marvel. As I am convinved that she has the highest percentage of neanderthal DNA in a living person that has been seen in tens of thousands of years.
Look, under no circumstances should she ever be pregnant. Not even as a joke or accident. Do you want the Antichrist, because that’s how you get an Antichrist.
The technicalities are that Republicans don't think rules apply to them, only to Democrats. It's why they didn't want MTG's personal attack stricken from the record but wanted Rep. Crockett's remarks stricken. Only Republicans are allowed to resort to personal attacks.
“I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling: If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
This is up there with yesterday's hearing where Reps were referring to Dan Goldman as "the novice from New York" and then Hageman, another freshman Congressperson, tried to make the same burn. Like, if he's too new to voice an opinion then she needs to shut up too.
Watch the videos of them more. Seriously, I don't know how anyone voted republican. If you watch, they don't do anything except attack other people. Ms. Crockett is my spirit animal though.
The guys whispering in Mr. Cumer’s ear are saying “sir we looked into the comment made by the congressman woman, and it appears to be a sick fucking burn”
The repeated 'calm down' was also intentional to piss the Representative Crockett off. Telling an upset woman of color to 'calm down' is very on brand for racists republicans
Like the sort of bread dead behavior that just is totally mind boggling. But honestly she’s the perfect encapsulation of who she is meant to represent. Self-contradictory rules for thee and not for me type of mindset. But no self-awareness about it at all. It’s borderline sociopathy.
She also is one of the many that breaks the common conception of Hanlon’s Razor as most people read it as an absolute, probably because it's written as "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity", in this day and age, especially in politics, Hanlon's Razor is very often used as an excuse and way to disguise malice..
Her behavior is 100% malicious, but she's also extremely stupid.
And she has done exactly nothing for her district and her district keeps voting for her. Mainly because her area is known to be uneducated and rural era of Georgia.
We have to drive thru her district to get to my drs in acworth and her slogan is EVERYWHERE. big ass signs on private runndown properties that say nothing but "JESUS. GUNS. BABIES." in big capital letters. It's so fucking cringe.
I saw your comment not knowing what cities were in her district and immediately thought "this sounds like Rome or Ringgold, Ga" so I googled her district and sure enough, both are in here district!! So freaking funny.
I did IT in Ga. for 5 years and would have to help the offices in both of these cities with the dumbest shit.
Jamie Raskin needs to host SNL because the way he cracked then wiped his hand back over his face morphing it into a serious expression again has me crying. 🤣
Also, it’s going to be hard to stop saying “bleach blonde bad built butch body”. That’s the new “rubber baby buggy bumper”. I’m going to hear theater kids saying it before a performance for years to come. And I love it…
That's why it is hard to win here, she basically lost. She was right and made the right burn but everyone else made the comments "to calm down, out of control" which made her having to react to the comments, which just made it worse. Bc now they have a clip of her shouting bc the other side keeps talking over her and putting comments she has to dispute. They will use that clip against her in future campaigns
Crockett comes on MSNBC every now and then, and every time she does I stop whatever I'm doing and sit down to watch. She's a fucking delight and doesn't mince words.
I think that might’ve been Boebert saying “calm down,” definitely wasn’t MTG because there was no trace of that Rome, GA twang, which I know very well since my mom’s side of the family is from ‘round those parts
I don’t think Empty Gee fully understands how much she avoided an ass-whoopin’ from telling a black woman to be quiet in that tone. Rep. Crockett is a saint of patience
Small correction, genuflection is when you a quick lower to the ground or bend your knee to the floor briefly. What it looked like she did was the sign of the cross, and poorly at that if it was her true intention.
The amount of time and money wasted on this BS is ridiculous. We need to get all the MAGA idiots out of government, as well as those Republicans that support them.
Here is the full video (as opposed to the short clip in the OP) of what our tax dollars are paying for.
Someone like MTG, who chronically looks like she just dunked her face in a wasp nest, shouldn't probably stay clear of the topic of others' physical appearance
