House committee meeting
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, calling her “racist,” following a tense House Oversight markup Thursday evening that quickly devolved into personal attacks.
As the panel met to advance contempt proceedings against Attorney General Merrick Garland over his refusal to turn over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur,
Greene, a Georgia Republican, sparked outrage when she commented on Crockett’s appearance. “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading,” Greene said.
Speaking to reporters on Friday about the incident, Crockett said, “That’s all it is, it is racism. And she decided that she was going to be that person out loud and out front on yesterday. The difference is I just wasn’t going to take it laying down.” “She is racist. I mean, I don’t have any questions about that,” she added.
Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, asked Greene, “Do you know what we’re here for?”Greene shot back: “I don’t think you know what you’re here for … I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
“That is absolutely unacceptable. How dare you attack the physical appearance of another person,” the New York Democrat said. does what most of MAGA does which they seek to insult and personal attacks. She needs to get a staff that can get her up to speed so that she can actually talk about something of substance and actually represent her district,” Crockett said.
Crockett also said she is a “grown woman” and wasn’t going to take it “laying down.” Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez immediately jumped in to get Greene’s words taken down.
