‘Don’t Come For Me’: Rep. Jasmine Crockett Warns MTG After Their ‘Fake Eyelashes’ Fight
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) gave a warning to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) following their fight in the Oversight Hearing Committee earlier this week.
On Thursday, a House Oversight Committee hearing to debate holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt quickly turned into chaos after personal insults were levied between Greene and Crockett. It all started when the Georgia lawmaker Greene insulted Crockett’s “fake eyelashes.”
The comment sparked outrage from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who demanded Chairman James Comer (R-KY) strike Greene’s comments from the record. Crockett responded by referring to Greene as a “bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body.”
During an interview on Saturday from MSNBC’s Katie Phang, Crockett gave a subtle warning by saying, “Don’t come for me.”
Don’t come for me. That that is all that I need to tell her. Don’t come for me with it. You know, we showed up ready to work, and unfortunately, we cannot have our hearing at 11:00. Even though this is a pointless hearing and is ridiculous in and of itself, that we needed to have it, but we showed up there in the majority. They set the agenda. This is what they want to do. This is what they believe is a priority for the American people. And they decided that they would skip work and go to New York to be involved in Trump’s trial. And so then we get back at 8 p.m. and instead of focusing on what the task at hand was, which was whether or not AG Merrick Garland was going to be held in contempt of Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene started talking about Judge Merchan, which is why I asked her, do you know why we’re here? And ultimately, it devolved into the debacle that it did.
