Jasmine Crockett taking aim at Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and as one would expect, Crockett\u2019s accusation is pure nonsense.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett unloaded on Greene after the Georgia Republican remarked on Crockett\u2019s eyelashes and went on to engage in a confrontation with ultra left-wing \u201csquad\u201d member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/aoc-embroiled-congressional-ethics-controversy-marital-status-5-year-prison-sentence-broached\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> during a House hearing on Thursday evening.<\/p>\n<p>But Crockett wasn\u2019t satisfied with just attacking Greene during the hearing. After the meeting, she lit into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/marjorie-taylor-greene-confronts-biden-enters-state-union-hands-button\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greene<\/a> and called the Georgian\u2019s eyelashes comment \u201cabsolutely racist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is racist. I mean, I don\u2019t have any questions about that. Because, I mean, I don\u2019t know that she\u2019s ever attacked her own colleagues,\u201d Crockett said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/house\/4670486-crockett-says-greene-behavior-was-absolutely-racist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett then dragged Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert into the fray, saying, \u201cHer and Boebert aren\u2019t getting along. Boebert has clip-ins in her hair. And Boebert wears lashes, too, sometimes \u2014 it looks like. I don\u2019t know. But she doesn\u2019t attack her for any of her [physical embellishments]. She doesn\u2019t do that, right? But she decided to do it to me. So absolutely [she\u2019s a racist].\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-aoc-loses-impeachment-witness-says-saw-biden-commit-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ocasio-Cortez<\/a> also resorted to calling Greene a racist, the paper added, when she said, \u201cIt is not lost on me that Ms. [Greene] targeted one of the only Black women on the committee for some of the most egregious and disgusting comments and with the expectation that it will be ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It started on Thursday when Greene, who is well known for having a brawler\u2019s style in politics, ended up in the middle between Reps Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/total-chaos-hearing-gets-wild-mtg-roasts-aoc-friends-dont-enough-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">heated exchange<\/a> in Thursday\u2019s House Oversight Committee hearing on a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland.<\/p>\n<p>Greene, Ocasio-Cotrez and Crockett went toe-to-toe for a brief round of jabs in what many called \u201cchaos\u201d on the Hill.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Were Marjorie Taylor Greene\u2019s comments racist?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While the hearing was ostensibly about AG Garland, at one point during her comments, Greene asked if \u201cany of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge [Juan] Merchan\u2019s daughter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judge Merchan, of course, is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/federal-records-expose-judge-presiding-trump-case-biden-donor-worse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrat donor<\/a> and New York judge in charge of persecuting Donald Trump as he defends himself over claims he filed false business records surrounding payments to porn actress Stormy Daniels. And Merchan\u2019s daughter is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-11938591\/Daughter-judge-presiding-Trumps-hush-money-case-worked-Kamala-Joe-Biden.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">progressive Democrat activist<\/a> whose Democrat clients have been fundraising off the Trump trial.<\/p>\n<p>Amid all this, the finger pointing and name calling began when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dem-rep-jasmine-crockett-flips-starts-screaming-biden-impeachment-hearing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rep. Crockett<\/a> interrupted Greene asking \u201cwhat that has to do with Merrick Garland,\u201d and \u201cDo you know what we\u2019re here for?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Greene retorted, \u201cI think you know what you\u2019re here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you\u2019re reading.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Democrats harrumphed and muttered at the shock of it all, AOC piped up screeching, \u201cThat is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-mayor-de-blasio-calls-on-gov-cuomo-to-resign\/\" title=\"NYC Mayor de Blasio calls on Gov. Cuomo to resign\">absolutely unacceptable<\/a>!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow dare you attack the physical appearance of another person,\u201d AOC added, then addressed the chair, saying, \u201cmove her words down.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This video lays out what happened in tonight\u2019s heated exchange in the oversight hearing <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7QTmpsa1eA\">pic.twitter.com\/7QTmpsa1eA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Acyn (@Acyn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Acyn\/status\/1791314730063466704?\">May 17, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/marjorie-taylor-greene-threatens-speaker-mike-johnson-ouster-scathing-letter-cites-total-surrender-democrats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">combative Greene<\/a> was not prepared to give an inch, though, and shot back, \u201cAre your feelings hurt?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh girl, baby girl! Don\u2019t even play!\u201d the former New York bartender replied in her best approximation of street.<\/p>\n<p>Greene then again challenged AOC to a debate, which she has done several times, but AOC said it was \u201cself-evident\u201d why she won\u2019t accept the challenge. To that, Green added, \u201cYeah, you don\u2019t have enough intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Greene agreed to have her words struck from the record, Crockett then piled on with a gross attack saying, \u201cI\u2019m just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody\u2019s bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But whether you appreciate Greene for her raucous style or not, nothing she said during the committee hearing was inherently racist. In fact, it\u2019s probably more racist to suggest that an insult about poorly applied eyelashes is even about race.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat meltdown over Thursday\u2019s confrontation proves one thing: If you go looking for racism under every nook and cranny, you\u2019ll probably \u201cfind\u201d it, like Crockett did.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>We who work here at The Western Journal have fought for years against Big Tech and the elites who want to shut us down and then shut America down. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Make no mistake \u2014 nothing will be the same after November 2024.
