The shit hit the fan when Chaos Crew member Marjorie Taylor Greene insulted Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett for wearing “false eyelashes,” as if the Georgia Sasquatch has room to talk about anyone’s appearance. Insults were lobbed back and forth, and Ocasio-Cortez demanded an apology from Klan Mom Marge.
That wasn’t going to happen (narcissists never apologize unless they’re desperate and it’s rehearsed), but MTG did agree to have her words stricken from the record.
“Oh, girl,” AOC said. “Baby girl.”
Marge said: “Oh really?”
“Don’t even play,” AOC said.
“Baby girl?” Marge said. “I don’t think so.”
“We’re gonna move, and we’re gonna take your words down,” AOC said.
Comer eventually said, “Miss Greene agrees to strike her words.”
AOC said: “I believe she must apologize.”
Marge shot back, “I’m not apologizing.”
AOC said, “Well then, you’re not retracting your words.”
But probably the best part of the back-and-forth was when Crockett called out Greene after James Comer, the Republican chair from Kentucky, would not call out Greene, so she figured that she could say whatever she wanted about the Georgia Republican.
“I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling,” Crockett said to Comer. “If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach-blond, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
Rep. Jamie Raskin buried his face in his hands to cover a half smile. The entire clip needs to be seen. There aren’t enough words to describe it.
