Crockett responded during then committee hearing by implying that Greene had a “bleach-blonde, bad-built butch body.'
The Dallas Democrat and Georgia Republican traded insults during a U.S. House committee hearing that went viral.
“That is them attacking me, really, as a Black woman, and all they’re trying to do is be like racists. That’s it. That’s all it is, is racism,” Crockett said. “And decided that she was going to be that person out loud and out front . The difference is I just wasn’t going to take it laying down.” That meant tensions were already high before Greene asked whether any committee Democrats were employing the consultant daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Trump’s trial.“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland,” Crockett responded, adding a moment later: “Do you know what we’re here for?”
