Later in the chaotic hearing, Crockett alluded to Greene having a \u201cbleach blonde, bad-built, butch body.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Crockett has since said that Greene\u2019s comments were \u201cracist\u201d and reiterated on CNN\u2019s <em>State of the Union<\/em> on Sunday that she believes the comment was racially motivated.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>TAPPER: \u201cDo you think her going after your eyelashes, that that, in itself, is racist?<\/p>\n<p>CROCKETT: \u201cI think her specifically doing it to me, yes, that was the intent.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MDNWCWMaYQ\">pic.twitter.com\/MDNWCWMaYQ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u2014 State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNNSOTU\/status\/1792224167288250592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 19, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI think her specifically doing it to me, yes, that was the intent,\u201d Crockett said. \u201cAs has been stated, women wear makeup, we wear lashes, we wear all types of things to beautify ourselves. But MAGA has historically been on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>social media<\/a> doing the things where they\u2019re saying, oh, she\u2019s black with lashes and nails and hair, and so she\u2019s ghetto.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so, to me, this was her buying into that rhetoric and trying to amplify this for the MAGA crowd.

If her words were taken down, that meant that she was going to have to leave the committee for the evening, which actually would have helped everybody out, because the source of the chaos is always Marjorie Taylor Greene,\u201d Crockett said. \u201cBut the chairman was concerned about his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/voting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>votes<\/a>.
