During the hearing, trouble began when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) asked if any Democratic committee members employ the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over former President Donald Trumps criminal trial in New York. Merchans daughter works for a political consulting firm whose services Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) who sits on the committee has enlisted.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) asked Greene what relevance her question had. After some crosstalk, Greene commented about Crocketts fake eyelashes, which ignited the tinderbox and prompted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to demand Greenes words be taken down, or expunged from the record.
Comer ruled that Greenes words would not be taken down. Greene also attacked Ocasio-Cortez, calling her not intelligent.
Later, Crockett took a shot at Greene, disguised as a point of order about what constitutes a personal attack:
CROCKETT: Im just curious. To better understand your ruling, if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebodys bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?

(80,727 posts)Things are out of control in the Oversight Committee as there have been repeated outbursts from Marjorie Taylor Greene. The hearing has been tied up after Greene insulted the appearance of another member.
Greene: I would like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Merchans daughter
Crockett: What does that have to do with Garland?
Raskin: Is she a porn star?
Crockett: Do you know what were here for?
Greene: I dont think you know what were here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your reading.

I don't honestly know the answer to your question but the chairman may have had no choice.

whether its appropriate to comment on Marges bleach blonde bad built butch body
after Greene talked about her eyelashes is the best part.

Crockett pays hardball and leaves ashes in her wake. We need more like her in Congress. She calls out bullshit when she sees and hears it.

(114,588 posts)and I disagree with Rep. Ocasio-Cortez---Greene's snotty personal attacks should be part of the record, they can later be used against her when the Congress is once again in saner hands to expel Greene on the grounds that the ignorant, backwoods baggage had four years to learn but never did learn how to behave in Congress.
Crockett needs to know Greene might not be back, anyway: she's turned 50 which is the reason for that "bad-built, butch body" and the fact that her once flowing bleached locks have turned to a haystack. 50 is the great leveler for women who trade on their looks because they have nothing else to recommend them.

This pic has been credited to be MTG. I don't know if it really is her or not.

GenThePerservering
(3,329 posts)The woman depicted is fine boned and has larger eyes not set so close together. The only reason she looks ridiculous is her outfit and frizzed hair. Her arms are also proportionate length and she has long legs. She's not muscular at all.
Traitor Green is short, with stubby little arms and is thicker built. She actually looks fit in that video where she is attempting to do kipping (she's not strong enough to complete the movement so she's flailing around like a goon). Lately she has not looked particularly fit but rather bloated and I wonder if she's been messing with steroids - who knows, she acts like a rabid dog.
Also, there's no magic drop-off at 50 - whatever she's doing, she's just doing it to herself.
I'm a big Rep. Crockett fan, and MTG asked to get smacked down.
