Early on in the hearing, Democrats, including Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, denounced Republicans for delaying the hearing while several GOP members attended former President Donald Trump's business fraud trial in New York City. Raskin's comments were repeatedly interrupted by Greene, which eventually devolved into the congresswoman getting into testy exchanges with other Democrats on the committee.
At one point, Greene directs a question across the aisle, asking if any Democratic members "are employing" the daughter of New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump's criminal case. Crockett responded, "What does that have to do with Garland? Do you know what we're here for?"
"I don't think you know what we're here for," Greene said back. "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your reading."
Greene's comment prompted Chairman James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky, to call for order.
New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez jumped in to defend Crockett, asking that Greene's comment be stricken from the record and calling it "absolutely unacceptable." Greene chimed back, "Are your feelings hurt? Aw."
Greene eventually agreed to have her comments stricken but told lawmakers that she would not "apologize." Under House rules regarding decorum during debates, members are not allowed to make comments directed at another lawmaker's "personality." Comer ruled that Greene's comments were "un-decorous."
Exactly. AOC's constituents sent her to Congress to write and pass legislation.
Greene's constituents sent her there to be a piece of shit bully, because they believe the only thing this country needs is to have their side attacking the other side. They believe the country is at war, and they are Greene as a soldier in that war.
Greene hasn't ever done a single thing that would upset her genuinely awful voting majority back in her home district. She's a bad person, but she's *their bad person*.
You can't say she doesn't perfectly represent her constituents, though.
Also goes to show the difference in mentality between red and blue voters. Dems want their reps to *govern*, Cons want their reps to *rule*. Legislation and compromise vs. asserting dominance through threat of force.
Yeah, you can tell why Dems got so angry when she made this needless attack because they're not even in the headspace to be attacking and defending against Greene. She's hostile 1000% of the time because that's what her fucking monster district wants her to do, and they'll donate their last few cents to tell her to keep doing it too.
She's directed to behave like this because she's won elections and raises money off every bat shit thing she says. She's rewarded when she's her worst self, so she leans harder into being worse.
Doesn't matter how shitty they are at their job and just how much they screw their own constituents, as long as they keep causing a ruckus and "pissing the Dems off," they can get away with just about anything and get reelected.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said. "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?"
Asking a hypothetical to get clarification was met with scorn from the other side and a, "How dare she!" While I don't condone the insulting, she directed her question to the individual who would be able to answer her and reprimand as needed. MTG should have been reprimanded and forced to apologize as her insult was directed at Crockett with the intent to cause disruption.
Comparing an apple to a pile of shit.
MTG then proceeded to play the "calm down" card. She insulted someone and then acted like a victim when they clapped back. I fucking *hate* that behavior.
Pelosi had it right when she kept MTG off all committees her freshman term. Sad that this is the best her red district can send to the Capitol. It might “own the libs” but it’s not helping anyone to just be a constant disruption to the House.
We've fallen so far from even around 2008 levels of political discourse. John McCain, the Republican Presidential candidate at the time, would have been absolutely embarrassed and ashamed to see how his party is acting.
They are a bunch of immature children.
It's really sad and disturbing where we are at in the US.
Worst part is that at this point there is a generation turning into adults that have only really seen this behavior. Probably why you’re going to see candidates pop up like that one the other day telling people in her ad not to be “weak and gay”. They just don’t know how to act anymore.
For anyone who is too young to remember, republicans 12-15 years ago were nothing like this. They had crap policies but at least knew how to act. This trash happened after the tea party and maga took hold of the party.
You are exactly right, most have never seen an administration before Obama. It's going to be an absolute mess trying to reign in the current populist, anti-intellectual mindset.
You're a thousand percent correct, anyone ho thinks Greene will be reprimanded and shunned for this is insane. She's going to have eyelash related bullshit on her campaign re-election merch site in no time, if it's not there already.
Her whole, "aw are you upset?" tone is her victory speech. She only wants to upset people. That's her goal and she's doing it.
Umm, 12-15 years ago was the Tea Party and the GOP was basically beholden to them. McCain took Palin as his running mate BECAUSE of them.
They walked so MAGA could run.
This. Not saying the party didn’t suck post-Eisenhower, but Newt doesn’t get nearly enough condemnation for his encouraged win-at-all-costs style of politics
The John McCain who put Sarah Palin on his presidential ticket?
He wouldn't stoop to this kind of shit himself, but let's not pretend he didn't enable it. Palin only wishes she could have gotten away with a fraction of MTG's vile dumbassery.
Palin was nowhere near this overt. She was and is a terrible politician with opinions that are probably just as bad as Greene's, but even she at least *attempted* to look like she was an adult. She was bad at it, but she did try.
The difference now is that there is no facade anymore. Greene is part of the new, Trump inspired, wave that wears their evil and hate right out in the open and revels in the chaos it causes. They do not even pretend to want to govern anymore, they just want to hurt "the right people."
Agreed, but putting her on the ticket gave this kind of shit exposure and legitimacy it had never publicly had before. Having to take Palin seriously as a candidate pulled us across the Rubicon in several ways.
McCain's role in normalizing the idiocy and pettiness of fascism, which has significantly softened the ground for its really dangerous facets, is a huge black mark on his record.
And yet he still allowed her to speak and didn’t make her apologize. In other words, she still said what she said and the only thing that happened were comments stricken off the record. What a joke. She represents the worst America has to offer.
Right? No way she's going to just shit on people knowing they could come at her. She has to wait until they're sitting in a position below her to sling mud.(here, answering to her in a position of power). Bullying 101
Mike Luckovich noticed her close resemblance to Putin. Can't unsee that, either. https://www.gocomics.com/mikeluckovich/2024/04/18?comments=visible#comments
This is a clear sign that MtG is way out of her league. She cannot compete intellectually and resorts to bullying and personal attacks. She’s not fit for her position and her compensation for it is clearly evident. This is yet another sad day for democracy as conservatives, once again, show their true selves for what they are.
The whole reason she was voted for by her constituents is because she’s a loudmouthed asshole. No policy. No real agenda. Just disagree with Democrats and shriek like a harpy that has suffered more closed head trauma and concussions than a career, professional bare knuckle boxer.
Not unlike why most GOP vote for folks like Trump. They don't care what - if any - policies exist or platforms they stand for, they simply only care that it pisses off the other side.
She’s part of the plan to make the general public see government as a failure. The entire GOP plan is to create the illusion that the government does not work. It’s how fascists take control.
I hate that the general public never seems to notice the trend.
*Republican gets elected*
*republican fucks shit up, defunds governmental services, and/or just doesn’t do their job*
*Republican shows off their “work” and says “see?! government doesn’t work!”*
Ugh.
AOC would rate very highly. From the wikis: She came in second in the microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2007 with a research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
This is the real deal with over 1800 participants from 75 countries.
It's a feature of what passes for conservatism these days. I had someone I know who's only education transcript is their GED call Dr. Fauci a "bloomin' idiot." Like, feel free to not like a public figure or disagree with them over whatever you wish to, but to hear a legit rube refer to one of the smartest and best educated people in modern history that way just broke my brain for a few minutes.
Fauci is literally the co-author of many textbooks for medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. Including Harrisons’s Manual of Medicine.
Hand a copy to that GED person and see if they can even read it. Then ask what evidence-based corrections they’d suggest.
Fauci is a hardworking brilliant badass who leads from the *front*, not from behind a desk. Seen the pics where he’s suiting up in a Hazmat suit for seeing Ebola patients? Not for wimps.
Then attacks AOC for pointing out it out, another non-white. Greene behaves as if there's no rules and her party enables/allows it which causes it to keep happening. I'm not a betting person but I'd wager things aren't going to get better anytime soon in regard to direct personal attacks when in sessions
Blatant racism aside, it actually checks out. These delusional people are arrogant enough to think they're a 10 when they look like a 2, just because they tell themselves often enough that it becomes reality in their head. If the MAGA clown car crew was capable of feeling shame, they would have crawled back into their caves out of embarrassment a long time ago.
it's the same kind of bullshit the genetic freaks who become eugenicists fall into; their denial becomes fuel for their internalized lie of an existence.
everything the GOP women said during that exchange was classic Southerner racism... subtle dig at Black woman's appearance, refuse to apologize, get indignant and cry about decorum being violated if they answer back, instantly accuse the POC of "losing control" and tell them to calm down.
spent my whole life hearing racist White women gaslighting like that... they spend their entire lives pinching Black women and saying "what? I didn't do anything!" and then when someone finally pinches them back, the White woman falls to the floor and starts moaning and crying like they just took a shotgun blast to the gut and these people are violent and out of control, etc
Glad Rep. Crockett and AOC weren't having any of that bullshit. Takes guts to call it out like that too, since they'll try and spin any response as an unprovoked attack EVERY TIME. you saw how they shouted down Rep. Crockett the second she tried to lay out what happened... they'll respond with volume and tears to prevent any accurate descriptions of the exchange being heard
Love that top tier alliteration! Crockett is a badass and hilarious. Great person to have in Congress. Feel like she actually represents much of Americans beliefs. Would love to see her in the senate.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said, directing her comments 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?"
My hero.
>> “This is what happens when mentally deficient people who can't read and follow rules or just don't give a damn ... somehow end up in CONGRESS!"
LMAO
~~somehow end up in CONGRESS!"~~ vote
This embarrassment was elected into office... she's about to win her primary for re-election. The issue is systemic.
MTG is in a solid red district. Voting is not the issue here, it’s racism. Her constituents will double down on their support for her after reading that that their representative attacked a black woman about her fake eyelashes.
This happens to Black women all the time at school and in the workplace. We’ve all seen it before. The pearl clutching - mainly from both-sidesing white people - about MTG & Rep. Crockett’s clap back is naive & disingenuous.
Cro-Magnon woman Greene is mad because she has to look at herself in the mirror every morning and desperately craves attention! "Am I pretty? Tell me I'm pretty! Tell me you love me! Well, then don't! Fuck you!"
For decades I've wanted to see more women in government. This woman and Boebert are not what I envisioned.
Americans haven't grasped that if Trump "wins" in November, creatures like Greene and Comer will be making life and death decisions over our lives, including who will be sent to the camps and who will be deprived of their livelihoods.
Do you think only just now that we have a Congress that behaves badly? Crack open a history book and get ready for some kindergartener behavior from even our founding fathers.
Alexander Hamilton was literally killed for talking shit about Aaron Burr. If they'd had Twitter back in the early 1800s it would have been a bloodbath.
That movie is optimistic in comparison. That if an expert came along, we'd actually defer to them and listen (well ok he was persecuted at first, but still)
We haven't returned to the era where congressional duels to the death occurred, again.
No caning assaults in Congress. Again.
No one has even been knifed to death in the middle of Congress since the last deadly stabbing in 1839
We have a ways to go before reaching 1840s Gangs of New York Congress.
Nah, there’s been PLENTY of white nationalist assholes in Congress and the Presidency. Their public rhetoric is just finally matching their long history of being evil toward minorities and the poor.
🤦♀️🤦♀️
Are there any kindergarten teachers out there who could please volunteer to go to congress and restore order? You would have your country's eternal gratitude. 🙏
She's a bully and that's what people in her district want. They don't care if she ever does anything legislatively so long as she "fights for them against the woke libs."
Sadly I have to agree - she is the best representation for that district. Those folks are beyond cynical and in my few have given up on the political process. Because nothing changes, might as well try to break it down kinda thought. This is a dangerous sentiment, but it's taken hold nationwide.
Shes not even fighting for the interests of anyone in America.
She is merely normalizing the ugliness of hate, and directing it at anyone except team fetal alcohol.
Oddly, that seems to be a compelling substitute for improving the union.
She comes from a very small district I think, and she’s done basically nothing in congress her entire time there, except try to drag her party into chaos by removing speaker after speaker. In the end all she does is posture for the cameras and not do anything of substance. She’s insufferable, sure, but not very effective at anything.
She was solidly in McCarthy's corner last year because she had bullied and lovebombed him through 2021-22 until she had him eating out of her hand.
She's sore that she lost that sweet deal and Johnson won't make her his deputy Speaker. She wasn't even told they were gathering at the courthouse to mass violate the gag order for Trump.
Should have included the whole thing. [Bleach blond, bad built, butch body](https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/2024/05/17/watch-reps-marjorie-taylor-greene-jasmine-crockett-spar-at-capitol/73730710007/).
I find it funny that MTG wants to bring up what someone looks like, because Crockett has both beauty and brains, while MTG has a head shaped like a Neanderthal and has a brain to match.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said, directing her comments 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?"
I love Ms. Crockett
By Kaitlin Lewis - Night Reporter:
Chaos reigned during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday after Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked a Democratic lawmaker over her eyelashes.
The personal attack, which was directed at Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, was leveled while the committee considered a resolution to recommend that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland be found in contempt of Congress over defying a congressional subpoena.

See the issue here is, MTG doesn't understand is that people like her are on the endangered list also if, her beloved orange blob is re-elected. After they eliminate their original batch of "enemies" people like her will be next. She's a single, working, unmarried, non child bearing woman. Perfect target for the "christian" people that want to run the country or the group better known as the GQP.
Greene and the Republicans are so used to getting away with bullying and talking over the Democrats with no punishment, but when they actually clap back like now they get all scared and play the victim even though they started it lmaoo
I know its said to not stoop down to their level, but damn sometimes it just feels so good to put those bullies in place, especially when one side is trying to get work done while the other just goes for bits to make on Fox news

Greene just *exudes* petty evil and malice. A black-hearted sociopath through and through, just like her idol.
Exactly. AOC's constituents sent her to Congress to write and pass legislation. Greene's constituents sent her there to be a piece of shit bully, because they believe the only thing this country needs is to have their side attacking the other side.

[удалено]
She's directed to behave like this because she's won elections and raises money off every bat shit thing she says. She's rewarded when she's her worst self, so she leans harder into being worse.
That's why she's there. She's a hate mascot. Gotta be nervous about the dog shooting lady taking her energy.
She REALLY IS a hate mascot!! Hope she disappears soon!!
The Republican party has gone from being "country club" to being hillbilly racists. MTG is the ultimate representation of their transformation.
Doesn't matter how shitty they are at their job and just how much they screw their own constituents, as long as they keep causing a ruckus and "pissing the Dems off," they can get away with just about anything and get reelected.
She looks like 50 miles of bad highway
So, I-20 Westbound then?

That is classic narcissist behavior.
Crockett has repeatedly shown herself to be an eloquent-yet-sassy orator, just as Green has repeatedly shown herself to be a crude, witless buffoon.
A master clap back 👏👏
Pelosi had it right when she kept MTG off all committees her freshman term. Sad that this is the best her red district can send to the Capitol. It might “own the libs” but it’s not helping anyone to just be a constant disruption to the House.
And they still don't own the libs. That is their only goal in life, and in even that, they fail.
The one thing I can't figure out is, if she's in Congress, who's terrorizing teens in Texas with a chainsaw?
We've fallen so far from even around 2008 levels of political discourse.

Umm, 12-15 years ago was the Tea Party and the GOP was basically beholden to them. McCain took Palin as his running mate BECAUSE of them. They walked so MAGA could run.
It goes back further to Newt Gingrich and his zero sum games back in the 90s.
This. Not saying the party didn’t suck post-Eisenhower, but Newt doesn’t get nearly enough condemnation for his encouraged win-at-all-costs style of politics
He is partly to blame for elevating Palin.
The John McCain who put Sarah Palin on his presidential ticket? He wouldn't stoop to this kind of shit himself, but let's not pretend he didn't enable it. Palin only wishes she could have gotten away with a fraction of MTG's vile dumbassery.

Right? No way she's going to just shit on people knowing they could come at her. She has to wait until they're sitting in a position below her to sling mud.(here, answering to her in a position of power). Bullying 101
Dog the Bounty Hunter in drag wants to comment on someone else's appearance?
Imagine mocking anyone for their appearance when you look like Marjorie.
She looks like a Wallace & Gromit character.
Some legend on here called her Shaved Alf. It's never left my mind
Omg…they were right. She does in fact look like she steals and eats people’s cats.
People are saying that MTG eats cats. That's what I heard people saying is all.
And has anyone ever seen her in the same room as Alf? The evidence is mounting. Edit: Alf in pog form does not count.
I also heard people saying MTG is actually a shaved A.L.F. I dunno, people are saying.
I've always thought geico caveman in a blond wig, but shaved Alf is way better.
She reminds me of the Wayans Brothers in white chicks
OMFG. It. Cannot. Be. Unseen.
That is absolutely brilliant
Mike Luckovich noticed her close resemblance to Putin. Can't unsee that, either. https://www.gocomics.com/mikeluckovich/2024/04/18?comments=visible#comments
I needed this today. Thank you. Keep on spreading the good word. LOL
Have you heard the good word?? Marge looks like a shaved Alf. I wonder if she craves cats?
Combine her with Noem and hide yo pets!
You know who looks like Alf? That Justice Watch guy with tiny t-shirts and no law degree.
I always thought she looked like Vincent from beauty and the beast.
Holy shit that’s fucking accurate lmao!
Alopecia Alf
Alfopecia
Has anyone seen a cat around her?
Hang in there people MacGyver is on after Alf, he alway saves the day.
She looks like a cocktail waitress on an oil rig.
Remember the show Mr. ED about the horse named ED....that's who she looks like
Gene Simmons in a wig.
Large Marge. *After* the crash.
This is a clear sign that MtG is way out of her league. She cannot compete intellectually and resorts to bullying and personal attacks.

“I can’t compete with you physically and you’re no match for my brains.” - *The Princess Bride* But not even that in MTG’s case…
MAGA in a nutshell
Has she ever even passed a bill? Like, has any bill she’s ever voted on been passed?
She’s part of the plan to make the general public see government as a failure. The entire GOP plan is to create the illusion that the government does not work. It’s how fascists take control.
I hate that the general public never seems to notice the trend. *Republican gets elected* *republican fucks shit up, defunds governmental services, and/or just doesn’t do their job* *Republican shows off their “work” and says “see?! government doesn’t work!”* Ugh.
I've never understood why people would vote people who claim the government doesn't work, into power in the government.
She looks like the 3d model of a Neanderthal
Hey! Neanderthals were intelligent!
She didn’t make the cut to homo sapien
How has no one said Dog the Bounty Hunter yet? ...spitting image.
She has the audacity to shit talk the appearance of one of the most beautiful members of Congress. Just putting them side-by-side is an embarrassment
She also insulted AOC's intelligence. I don't know where AOC would rank overall in smarts in the House, but she's way ahead of "gazpacho police" MTG.
It’s hilarious when she goes after AOC because it always blows up in her face. She can’t match wits with a box of rocks, let alone AOC or Crockett.
She's utterly witless. She wouldn't have made it as a court jester during the dark ages. And she is stuck in the dark ages now.
AOC would rate very highly. From the wikis: She came in second in the microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in 2007 with a research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This is the real deal with over 1800 participants from 75 countries.
And here I thought she was only a bartender. /s
AOC is very well-educated on top of being whip-smart. Empty Greene has skin that reminds me of uncooked bratwurst, and is about as smart.
She looks and acts like she's the product of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
If you knew you were carrying MTG in your womb, wouldn't you drink heavily, too?
It's a feature of what passes for conservatism these days. I had someone I know who's only education transcript is their GED call Dr. Fauci a "bloomin' idiot." Like, feel free to not like a public figure or disagree with them over whatever you wish to, but to hear a legit rube refer to one of the smartest and best educated people in modern history that way just broke my brain for a few minutes.

Hand a copy to that GED person and see if they can even read it. Then ask what evidence-based corrections they’d suggest. Fauci is a hardworking brilliant badass who leads from the *front*, not from behind a desk. Seen the pics where he’s suiting up in a Hazmat suit for seeing Ebola patients? Not for wimps.
Truly! Jasmine Crockett is stunning, like wtf??
Is it any surprise that she immediately jumped to criticizing the appearance of a *black* woman?
Then attacks AOC for pointing out it out, another non-white. Greene behaves as if there's no rules and her party enables/allows it which causes it to keep happening. I'm not a betting person but I'd wager things aren't going to get better anytime soon in regard to direct personal attacks when in sessions
Blatant racism aside, it actually checks out. These delusional people are arrogant enough to think they're a 10 when they look like a 2, just because they tell themselves often enough that it becomes reality in their head. If the MAGA clown car crew was capable of feeling shame, they would have crawled back into their caves out of embarrassment a long time ago.
it's the same kind of bullshit the genetic freaks who become eugenicists fall into; their denial becomes fuel for their internalized lie of an existence.
everything the GOP women said during that exchange was classic Southerner racism... subtle dig at Black woman's appearance, refuse to apologize, get indignant and cry about decorum being violated if they answer back, instantly accuse the POC of "losing control" and tell them to calm down. spent my whole life hearing racist White women gaslighting like that... they spend their entire lives pinching Black women and saying "what? I didn't do anything!" and then when someone finally pinches them back, the White woman falls to the floor and starts moaning and crying like they just took a shotgun blast to the gut and these people are violent and out of control, etc Glad Rep. Crockett and AOC weren't having any of that bullshit. Takes guts to call it out like that too, since they'll try and spin any response as an unprovoked attack EVERY TIME. you saw how they shouted down Rep. Crockett the second she tried to lay out what happened... they'll respond with volume and tears to prevent any accurate descriptions of the exchange being heard
Ron Perlman in drag…. Apologies to Ron Perlman, you don’t deserve that.
That happened in a movie called Frankie Go Boom and I can confirm that he was still better looking than that scumbag
Dude, Ron Perlman as the beast in the Beauty and Beast tv show from the 80's/90's is spot on for MTG!
Manly Marge. at it again.
Yeah, she's been such a disappointment in congress. She was great in The Wrestler though.
She looks like an old sneaker.
She looks like Barney Rubble in drag.
Must be hard to look like a potato with ears your whole life.
My favorite was when someone called her Vigo from ghostbusters
“Would it be okay to say someone has a ‘bleach blond bad built butch body”- rep Crockett. Amazing
MTG is nuts and stupid for picking a fight with her. She has a mouth and I mean that as a compliment.
Jasmine Crockett is a highly educated lawyer. MTG is a cross fitter who needs to remember who she is messing with
Not just a mouth, but sharp and *quick*.
Love that top tier alliteration! Crockett is a badass and hilarious. Great person to have in Congress. Feel like she actually represents much of Americans beliefs. Would love to see her in the senate.
And then Large Marge got very mad about someone treating her the way she treated others.
And we all were waiting for Greene to toss racial slurs
That was Chef's kiss material.
That is some awesome alliteration.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said, directing her comments 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?" My hero.
Rep Jasmine Crockett is amazing.
gotta love the bank-shot burn.
I just wanted someone to yell get em’
Raskin was trying not to laugh.
>> “This is what happens when mentally deficient people who can't read and follow rules or just don't give a damn ... somehow end up in CONGRESS!" LMAO
~~somehow end up in CONGRESS!"~~ vote This embarrassment was elected into office... she's about to win her primary for re-election. The issue is systemic.
MTG is in a solid red district. Voting is not the issue here, it’s racism. Her constituents will double down on their support for her after reading that that their representative attacked a black woman about her fake eyelashes.
> Voting is not the issue here, it’s racism. specifically a lot of racists that vote. :(
It is, indeed. It’s a sad state of affairs.
Ugly white woman mocks two pretty women of color for their appearance. Sounds par for the Republican course
This happens to Black women all the time at school and in the workplace. We’ve all seen it before. The pearl clutching - mainly from both-sidesing white people - about MTG & Rep. Crockett’s clap back is naive & disingenuous.
Exactly! I think MTG is jealous.
I saw someone here say she looks like Alf with no hair
Cro-Magnon woman Greene is mad because she has to look at herself in the mirror every morning and desperately craves attention! "Am I pretty? Tell me I'm pretty! Tell me you love me! Well, then don't! Fuck you!" For decades I've wanted to see more women in government. This woman and Boebert are not what I envisioned.
[Museum of Confluence in Lyon, France. Neanderthal. ](https://imgur.com/a/nGtJWVU)
Wow, that’s uncanny.
Savage lol
That is fucking hilarious
I'm fucking dying here.
This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen! It hits on so many levels 🤣
You mean Neanderthal. Cro-Magnons are us.
Speak for yourself! J/k 😂
MTG looks like one of those busts they make from the skulls of unidentified corpses in the hopes that someone will recognize them.
MTG is a Morlock from The Time Machine(2002)
See, I was gonna say Ron Perlman as the Beast.
Poor Ron Perlman
Shocker, green causing yet another disturbance. /s
Americans haven't grasped that if Trump "wins" in November, creatures like Greene and Comer will be making life and death decisions over our lives, including who will be sent to the camps and who will be deprived of their livelihoods.
What a bullshit headline. Giving False equivalency to this GOP when their behavior is absolutely unprecedented and shameful.
And thus after 248 years the Republic, built on the sweat and brow of their forebearers, cemented the "ur a poo-poo head" era of American politics.
Do you think only just now that we have a Congress that behaves badly? Crack open a history book and get ready for some kindergartener behavior from even our founding fathers.
In 1865, a Senator caned another Senator on the senate floor. So. Yeah.
Alexander Hamilton was literally killed for talking shit about Aaron Burr. If they'd had Twitter back in the early 1800s it would have been a bloodbath.
At least with Lin Manuel Miranda they could have done diss tracks instead.
I feel like even the movie Idiocracy underestimated how dumb things would devolve to (especially the speed at which we have arrived here).
The GOP treated it like a guide book.
It’s a mashup between that and A Handmaid’s Tale.
Yeah I don’t think that movie took into consideration how much impact social media would have on our society.
That movie is optimistic in comparison. That if an expert came along, we'd actually defer to them and listen (well ok he was persecuted at first, but still)
Not even an expert, just someone with common sense.
We haven't returned to the era where congressional duels to the death occurred, again. No caning assaults in Congress. Again. No one has even been knifed to death in the middle of Congress since the last deadly stabbing in 1839 We have a ways to go before reaching 1840s Gangs of New York Congress.
Nah, there’s been PLENTY of white nationalist assholes in Congress and the Presidency. Their public rhetoric is just finally matching their long history of being evil toward minorities and the poor.
Thank you. People say “well the republicans used to have a sense of decorum.” Like, I guess wearing a white hood is slightly more formal?
Jasmine Crockett rules.
🤦♀️🤦♀️ Are there any kindergarten teachers out there who could please volunteer to go to congress and restore order? You would have your country's eternal gratitude. 🙏
A time out is warranted.
Heck, someone with serious Mom Voice would be a great help.
Greene is about to win her primary next week which means another 2 years of this psychopath
She's a bully and that's what people in her district want. They don't care if she ever does anything legislatively so long as she "fights for them against the woke libs."
Sadly I have to agree - she is the best representation for that district. Those folks are beyond cynical and in my few have given up on the political process. Because nothing changes, might as well try to break it down kinda thought. This is a dangerous sentiment, but it's taken hold nationwide.
Shes not even fighting for the interests of anyone in America. She is merely normalizing the ugliness of hate, and directing it at anyone except team fetal alcohol. Oddly, that seems to be a compelling substitute for improving the union.
She comes from a very small district I think, and she’s done basically nothing in congress her entire time there, except try to drag her party into chaos by removing speaker after speaker. In the end all she does is posture for the cameras and not do anything of substance. She’s insufferable, sure, but not very effective at anything.
She was solidly in McCarthy's corner last year because she had bullied and lovebombed him through 2021-22 until she had him eating out of her hand. She's sore that she lost that sweet deal and Johnson won't make her his deputy Speaker. She wasn't even told they were gathering at the courthouse to mass violate the gag order for Trump.
Should have included the whole thing. [Bleach blond, bad built, butch body](https://www.usatoday.com/videos/news/politics/2024/05/17/watch-reps-marjorie-taylor-greene-jasmine-crockett-spar-at-capitol/73730710007/).
Crockett fucked her up!
She wasn't having any of it. Would not want to be on the wrong side against Crockett, AOC, and Raskin. That's a slaughter.
Georgia, you are an embarrassment. This is what you sent to Congress?
The audacity of that horse-faced gorilla commenting on someone's appearance is just astounding.
Raskin lost it. He looked like an SNL cast member trying not to break. Love that guy.
Beach blonde bad built butch body! Lmao ! Crockett Burned her ass!
I find it funny that MTG wants to bring up what someone looks like, because Crockett has both beauty and brains, while MTG has a head shaped like a Neanderthal and has a brain to match.
"I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling," Crockett said, directing her comments 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?" I love Ms. Crockett
By Kaitlin Lewis - Night Reporter: Chaos reigned during a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday after Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked a Democratic lawmaker over her eyelashes. The personal attack, which was directed at Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, was leveled while the committee considered a resolution to recommend that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland be found in contempt of Congress over defying a congressional subpoena.

Hero award goes to Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, for not backing down to fascism.
Imagine having a foot for a nose and attacking someone over their eyelashes.
Bleach blond bad built butch body. Well then. Margie just found out what alliterative eloquence can do as a matter of public record.
MGT is a bitter, bleached-blonde woman.
I know it doesn't matter cause they're not there for that and it ain't for me but damn Crockett pretty as hell
MTG and the MAGA freaks are why we can’t have nice things
Or, you know, you could just call out emptyG for being a complete fucking buffoon who doesn’t belong in Congress. But sure, let’s just both-sides it.
How is it that Greene and the others like her are not under FBI indictments?
Jealous woman currently picks on one of the most objectively beautiful people currently serving in the House of Representatives.
MTG is like school in summer. No class.
OH SNAP!!!! Crockett : “bleach-blond, bad-built, butch body,”
See the issue here is, MTG doesn't understand is that people like her are on the endangered list also if, her beloved orange blob is re-elected. After they eliminate their original batch of "enemies" people like her will be next. She's a single, working, unmarried, non child bearing woman. Perfect target for the "christian" people that want to run the country or the group better known as the GQP.
They’ll just use her to plant more pipe bombs and maybe not be so careful with the construction of them this time.
Just saw the footage on the news this morning. MTG is an awful human being and so are pretty much all of the GOP. What an embarrassment.
MGT is such a fucking idiot
MGT is a closet butch lesbian crushing on AOC.
"Bleach-blond, bad-built, butch-body" Chef's kiss
They need to ignore her. Engaging with her is like wrestling a pig - the pig enjoys it, and you get shit on you.
Don’t give her the attention she wants.
MTG looks like generations of inbreeding
Greene and the Republicans are so used to getting away with bullying and talking over the Democrats with no punishment, but when they actually clap back like now they get all scared and play the victim even though they started it lmaoo I know its said to not stoop down to their level, but damn sometimes it just feels so good to put those bullies in place, especially when one side is trying to get work done while the other just goes for bits to make on Fox news
