Tapper presses Crockett over her counterattack about Marjorie Taylor Greene's appearance

CNN's Jake Tapper speaks with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) about her verbal altercation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a tense House Oversight Committee markup on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt. #CNN #News

She called her out. Don't start nothing, and it won't be nothing. PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF BEING BULLIED

[ronaldmorris]

If you attack me and you get injured while I'm defending myself, why are you asking me if I regret defending myself?

[chipsdad]

MTG is actually commiting work place harassment. Anyone else would have been fired.

[dabeage]

Tapper is an embarrassment, fortunately Crockett is smarter than he and handled him brilliantly.

[reneamcgee]

So the narrative is she can insult you, but others shouldn’t insult her back. Please, don’t dish it if you can’t take it.

[GloriaPitts-qpmo]

Why are black people suppose to keep quiet when insulted? Mrs. Crockett did the right thing and I hope she doesn't hold back when confronted!!😮

[risinsonchristopher]

He really sitting there expecting this lady to apologize, Black's are always expected to take "the high road ".

[Nutingbuthope]

" Don't start non - won't be none" was the phrase during my childhood

[Jae-zxfc]

Jake, you BLEW IT! Your attempt to elicit an apology from someone who was attacked by MTG is deplorable. Please check your implicit bias and reflect.

[SunkissFlower]

Thank you, Representative Crockett for not genuflecting. I am sick of folks expecting Black people to forgive others who have wrong them.

[edwinabuck]

Jasmine didn't say a name. She was asking for clarification.

[erica]

She is so intelligent… more importantly she’s prepared!! … She sees right through what they try to do … well stated Congresswoman !! I like her ☝🏾🤓

[cccro]

This is going too far even for Jake Tapper. Why aren't you interviewing Marjorie Taylor Greene because she's the one that started this ordeal?

[mitsumeeshi]

She called out a bully. Simple. Marjorie Taylor Greene has been bullying people all over the place, and yet she is still in Congress? I don't understand this.

[MaBabygirlP]

Jake Trapper seems as if was blaming Rep. Crockett for talking about MTG. I wish ABC news would look into that. He was very condescending to her.

[francescalittle]

Jake Tapper seems to miss the point. Crockett did not clap back immediately. She responded much later when she realized that the chairman was not going to appropriately censor MTG. So she presented that scenario to show the hypocrisy. MTG is also a bully and sometimes the only way to take them down is with a taste of their own medicine. Why is he trying to make her feel guilty for responding?

[AfrodityJones]

Really, Jake? So, a black woman defending herself against a bully has to be questioned about her response, why?

[HUFFLE-PUFF]

Tapper, you know EXACTLY what MTG, was doing!

[angelaconnor]

That reporter wasn't ready for all her intelligence. He thought the convo would remain on fake lashes.

[lorrainecanty]

Jasmine is our black beautiful HERA (hero)…🤣🤣🤣 No need to feel bad or apologetic…. Go Jasmine
