Jasmine Crockett Says Marjorie Taylor Greene Fanned ‘The Flames Of Hate’ And Now Can’t Take It

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “can’t take the heat” from President Donald Trump as Greene announced her plans to resign from Congress in January.

“Honestly, I was like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’” Crockett said Sunday on “State of the Union” about Greene’s resignation announcement. “You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes to not only be on the opposite side of him but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate.”

On Friday, amid a public fallout from the president over the effort to release the Epstein files, Greene announced she would resign from Congress.

“My only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First,” Greene said in a statement. “With that has brought years of nonstop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day.”

Crockett said Greene has been an “instigator” to “a lot of the hate” from the Make America Great Again movement.

“I don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people, and now that they’re doing it to her, I just gotta say, why is it that everyone else is able to stand and you can’t,” Crockett said on “State of the Union.”

Greene and Crockett have had a longstanding and public feud. At a 2024 House hearing, Greene made a negative comment about Crockett’s false eyelashes, and as recently as August, Greene claimed Crockett didn’t understand “the Black American struggle.”

But last week, after Trump publicly pulled his endorsement for Greene, Crockett offered her support for Greene on social media, writing, “I’m here for you girl… I told you not to trust him… all he cares about is HIMself (and protecting pedos) he never loved you.”

Even though Greene announced her time in Congress will soon come to an end, according to TIME, Greene has considered running for president in 2028.

Crockett, whom along with Greene is on the House Oversight Committee, which released more than 20,000 documents earlier this month related to the Epstein case, said she isn’t sure if Trump is mentioned in the other files that have yet to be released.
