“Fake eyelashes” and “butch body”: Reps. MTG and Crockett hurl insults

A House Oversight Committee hearing Thursday night on whether to move forward with a contempt resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland devolved into chaos as lawmakers took turns body-shaming each other, starting with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene telling Rep. Jasmine Crockett “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stepped in to come to Crockett's defense, before things spiraled further out-of-control, with Crockett taking the mic to fire back at MTG, in a question to Comer about what constitutes a personal attack. “I’m just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?” Crockett asked.

Chairman is like a dad desperately trying to understand why his daughters are fighting at the dinner table.

[nativeson]

Ms. Crockett is owed an apology. She didn't start it but she finished it.
Brutus The Barber Beefcake a.k.a. Rick Flair started it.

I paid $5.98 for gas today. Then went to the grocery store where a loaf of bread was $4.99. Dozen eggs $6.99.

Who thinks this will make it onto SNL?

[bigdaddy]

Bleach Blonde, Bad Built, Butch Body.
No coming back from that one

[asantewa]

It’s so interesting that so many vehicles focused only on Crockett’s response and not the fact that MTG insulted her first.

[gangoffour]

If any one of us acted like this on our jobs we'd be fired.

[kelsblair]

How tacky for her to attack her appearance. You can’t get mad that she got roasted afterwards

[ewill]

“Bleached Blond Bad Built Butch Body”
😂😂😂

[mstlovemusic]

They love to tell us to calm down after WE FINALLY RESPOND TO THEIR DISRESPECT!! SHE IS SO DISRESPECTFUL

[u-n-isurvive]

Telling someone to “calm down” after you try to insult them, and they give you that same energy is peak gaslighting.

[Heinsenhankenberg]

Politicians acting like this and meanwhile countless Americans are living paycheck to paycheck

[e.d.t.]

Somehow the woman saying, "...calm down.... you're out of control..." annoys me the most.When you watch this go down in real time without the edits so much time is wasted, all because Marjorie is a troll that can't stay on topic. Everyone's expected to just shut up and let her say whatever, and when they don't it snowballs. Time wasted. Everyone loses.

[ksak]

The black lady didn't mention anyone's name, but MTG took the bait. I guess a hit dog will holler😂😂😂😂

[jaifyre]

She sent for her and then got mad when she showed up kicking in her door. Don't say calm down when you wanted all the smoke. I can't stand people that throw jabs and expect not to get punched back
