Regarding Rep. Jasmine Crockett

In her defense - she did NOT call that little snot MTG a
"Bleach blonde, bad built butch body.

Mr. Comer said a insult of appearance did not violate house rules.

She was asking a fair question.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/greene-called-bleach-blonde-bad-174434071.html?

Mr Comer said that Ms Greene’s insult ultimately did not violate House rules, leaving Ms Crockett scratching her head at the rulings.

“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?” she asked the chairman.

Her question was met with confusion from Mr Comer. “Uh, what now?” he asked.

Mr. Comer should have behaved as a gentleman and defended Representative Crockett - clearly stating that MTSnotface was out of order.

Maybe he was drunk - which is why he allowed that insult to stand.

He then didn't seem to understand the question Rep Crockett asked.

All she did was ask a question with context (bbbb).

I can't possibly be the only black woman at DU who has been put in uncomfortable positions while engaging in her work. For Gen X - people snidely called us arrogant. Our mothers, and aunts were called uppity.

Something that hits me? There seems to be this dominant culture belief that Rep Crockett should have "taken it".

Nope - no more. We aren't our grandmother's. You insult one of us - you insult us all. Dear Dominant Culture America - You are on notice.

1. You're right

IMHO he’s stupid as well as racist

[justaprogressive]

2. K'n'R

Ms. Crockett is 5x as smart as either of them.

[LakeArenal]

3. MTG is totally out of Repuke control.

Makes Comer and others look like the week shits they are.

We are watching the fall of MAGA.

[brer cat]

4. I agree, Gen.

MTG should have been shown the door.

5. Congresswoman Crockett is a very good lawyer

Congresswoman Crockett properly raised a point of inquiry. I am proud that Congresswoman Crockett is from Texas

[TBF]

6. I think Ms. Crockett has a lot of new fans from all walks of life after that episode -

I am happy to know who she is. After seeing the story I looked her up - she's very accomplished - Rhodes College & UH Law School

Wish she were still here in Houston so I could vote for her!

[cannabis_flower]

48. I'm in Houston too

How did you fare with the storm? Yesterday got cell service back but still without electricity. I live in Spring Branch near Longpoint and Wirt.

[TBF]

57. yes - south of Houston

I hope your electric comes back on today - we are fine in the suburbs south of the city. Downtown was bad too, but it sounds like the worst was really northwest of the city as the storm came in

[cannabis_flower]

58. We live in near Northwest

We finally got our electricity back today. It came back on last night about 6 but went out again at 10:30. Finally came back on about 7:30 this morning.

Thank you.

8. I'm a full member of the Representative Jasmine Crockett fan club.

[Think. Again.]

15. I'm in!

[FirstLight]

9. Oh hell no

Mark this is one woman who does not believe that she should "take" anything...

Especially bullshit from a bleach blonde bad built Butch body! 😂

Honestly, the way he reacted was drunk, and I wish someone had a damned breathalyzer!!!

[Walleye]

28. Yes, the look on his face was kind of blank.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

46. Comer has trouble comprehending anything that Fox hasn't installed in his head.

[OMGWTF]

52. We call him "Comer Pyle" -- if you're old enough to get the reference.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

53. Hey! Gomer was a good guy. (And with a set of pipes). Comer's a pile, for sure.

[COL Mustard]

10. I think Empty Headed Greene

Was uppity with her comment the other night. She’s disgusting inside and out.

11. Trying to find out what was wrong with Rep. Crockett's question

and all I encounter is "404 Not Found".

[KS Toronado]

12. Rep. Crockett may not have called out MTG by name

but we all know who the ""Bleach blonde, bad built butch body " is. And this was in response to MTG attacking
her over eyelashes. As an example, we all know who TSF is w/o saying his name.

I was ROFL when I seen that exchange yesterday.

[et tu]

13. yes! woot woot j c nt

[Walleye]

30. Classic case of, if the shoe fits etc

[PortTack]

14. Man did Rep Crockett own m turd green! Loved the look on Rep Raskin's face...priceless!

[littlemissmartypants]

16. I've been told to dumb down, by supervisors. But I know my AA female coworkers had it worse. Despicable, imo.

Representative Crockett was wholly entitled to her point of order inquiry. Comer broke his own rule. Had he not MTG would have had her time to speak withdrawn.

Representative Crockett brought righteousness and elevated the discussion.

Additionally, she is now an urban legend with her words set to music in genres from rap to country in at least four or five songs published hours after she strongly made her perfect point.

I'm more than grateful we have strong, intelligent, fearless people ~especially Black women~ who are devoted to a life of service to the American people. Representative Crockett sets a high bar and an example for us all.

MTG will never be anything but a joke.

[Hekate]

21. This

[JustAnotherGen]

35. I know that feeling

*Dumb it down*

[LoCo Cat Lady]

17. Rep Crockett

was completely within bounds to pose that question. She's a lawyer, so she knew how to set it up. I absolutely support her question and I appreciate that she didn't sit there and take it. Frankly, as a Gen Xer myself, I'd have enjoyed an ass-whooping but I know that's not appropriate...although when AOC called her "baby girl" I thought it was about to go down. LOL

[bluescribbler]

18. I thought Rep. Crocket was awesome!

she put Empty Green in her place.

[Hekate]

19. Spot on. "Uh, whut now?" will go down in the history book of clueless (& possibly drunk) comments

Rep. Crockett is a brilliant woman. Thank you for your observations.

[Diraven]

20. The remix slaps!

[drmeow]

22. It is telling

that everyone (including everyone in the House) immediately interpreted it as insulting MTG. You are exactly right - she asked if saying something like that would be appropriate. The fact that it was absolutely a spot on description of MTG did not mean she called MTG that. The fact that everyone interpreted it as aimed at MTG is their problem, not Crockett's.

[azureblue]

23. a very clever question

that went right over Comer's head:

“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?” she asked the chairman.

She was asking for him to rule on her question, knowing very well that any response from him would wind up condemning said "bleach blond, bad-built butch body" person, who threw out the "fake eyelashes" personal attack in the first place. If he ruled "yes", then Crockett then asks him to condemn MTG. If he said no, then she is free to personally insult the hell (what an easy target) out of MTG.

Maybe this time Comer's stupidity got him out of a jam.

[Irish_Dem]

27. That was the funniest part, Comer was clueless.

And could not keep up with the comments.
Low IQ problem.

[oldsoftie]

24. How could she help it if people instantly thought of Greene?

Thats on THEM not her!

[1WorldHope]

25. Thank God for Jasmine Crockett!

I don't know how she can stand that whole clown show. But we need 100 more strong black women in this Congress. I hope, I hope, they get voted out and things can turn around finally.

[bluboid]

33. I AGREE!!!

Wow! thank you for this discussion. Jasmine Crockett is brilliant! more young women like her, PLEASE!

[SouthBayDem]

26. Just confirms the saying

about needing to be twice as good to get half as much.

[Irish_Dem]

29. It's time to start fighting back hard.

I support JC 100%.

And I love her eyelashes.
Marge is just jealous she is not as beautiful as Jasmine.

[twodogsbarking]

31. I always listen when Rep Crockett speaks. She is, well, spectacular.

[DENVERPOPS]

32. The biggest problem is

that when you are wrestling in the Mud with a Pig....(Republicans) you need to realize that THEY actually enjoy it as do their voters...
They consider it every bit as much, if not more so, as Professional Wrestling, Nascar, Tractor pulls, etc etc etc

The Republican's behavior is so "Off The Wall" it is stunning to anyone who has an IQ above 90.........

The religious would say, at this point,: God Help Us All..............

34. Congresswoman Crockett is offering a "A Crockett Clapback Collection"

Link to tweet

So we are going to drop “A Crockett Clapback Collection.” This collection will feature various swag that includes random things I’ve said. The money will go to ensuring that we have a Democratic House! Give me a little time to really get the swag online etc., but B6 will drop first.

If you have things you want to see come to life let me know. Post graphics or just phrases that you want to see.

[BonnieJW]

38. I LOVE THIS!!!!!

B6!

MTG = B6

There have to be tshirts and posters.

Is anyone running against her?

[Hermit-The-Prog]

47. She has a helluva collection to offer by now. Brilliant!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

50. Here is an unsolicited addition

51. We're running out of Bs.

[Marcuse]

36. For those who missed the reference.

[Daylily]

37. I taught in inner city schools

And it does my heart good to see the beautiful ladies of color in powerful positions. They are kicking a$$ and taking names. No woman should ever take sh*t from the likes of empty genes. And when we get our government back, empty genes should be removed.

[spooky3]

39. Comer claimed he was wearing hearing aids but could not hear her.

But I didn't see him turn to Raskin to ask what was said.

[Blue Owl]

[OldBaldy1701E]

41. What idiots are saying this?

There seems to be this dominant culture belief that Rep Crockett should have "taken it".

ANYONE who thinks that lady should have 'taken' anything from that lunatic is part of the problem. Period. The only people who are not outraged are the ones who are complicit in the bias in our society. They want it to remain.

54. Yup. nt

42. 'A hit dog hollers': Jasmine Crockett brutally doubles down on MTG's House floor tantrum

This was a great interview with Congresswoman Crockett

Link to tweet

https://www.rawstory.com/jasmine-crockett-marjorie-taylor-greene/

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) continued her criticism of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for insulting her during a bill mark-up hearing that led to the Georgia Republican yelling across the chamber.....

"I also took this as an opportunity to again flex on MAGA and let them know that I will always be smarter than you and you can call me a DEI hire all you want to and launch all of the continuous insults that you want to against me but she is no match for me when it comes to intellect," she insisted. "She just decided, 'Oh, I have privilege so I'm just going to say whatever I want to say' and then leaned back and that is exactly what she did. And she knew that she would face no consequences, or at least she thought she would face no consequences."

"I refuse to be somebody's doormat," she warned. "And anybody suggesting that I should, I need you to look in the mirror and maybe check yourself if you believe it is okay for her to say whatever she wants to say to me and the role that I'm supposed to play is one that says, 'Oh, okay, I know she didn't really mean it or it wasn't really that bad or it's more important that I just sit here and be docile.' That is not who I'm going to be."

[JustAnotherGen]

44. Thank you

I watched this morning. Rep Crockett is not be spoken down to!

[Martin68]

43. Bravo. Well said.

[ShazamIam]

45. What I was thinking I watched Crocket speak was that she had probably endured numerous snide remarks from the

now openly racist insurrectionist crowd in our U.S. House of Representatives. I would bet all of the African American members have to endure such slights and comments from that crowd.

[Timeflyer]

49. Rep. Crockett was brilliant and showed the country how to handle MAGA trash--stand up and fight.

[Duppers]

55. Excellent post

That's a keeper.
