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

This was a great interview with Congresswoman Crockett



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."

7. That was not a smirk, that was a muffled guffaw. Jamie Raskin is a real person

6. MTG did not humilliate her, MTG humiliated herself, not that she cares or understand how vile and low she is

but nonetheless, stop saying that MTG humiliated her because she did not. All MTG did was to reinforce the fact to everyone that she is a low-class person who should not be sitting in Congress.

8. You know, the former guy SF is also a bleached blond. I've been trying all day to come up

with a 6B line that perfectly captures his essence, but I'm not as talented as Rep. Crockett. Need to be ready the next time he flings poo on one who doesn't deserve it.
