Marjorie Taylor Greene claps back at Crockett with workout video: ‘My body is built and strong’

Marjorie Taylor Greene has responded to Rep Jasmine Crockett after their House Oversight Committee showdown on Thursdayspawned an avalanche of memes and even merchandise.

The far-right firebrand shared a video of herself pumping iron in a garage, defending her physique after the Texas Democrat’s now-viral “bleach blonde bad built butch body” comment in a committee hearing.

“Yes my body is built and strong NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle. Soon turning 50 years old, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and LIVE this life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment!” the Georgia congresswoman wrote.

The video comes after Ms Crockett announced a new venture on X over the weekend: selling merch that will feature “random things I’ve said”, in order to raise money for House Democrats.

“So we are going to drop ‘A Crockett Clapback Collection,’” Ms Crockett wrote on X.

“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!”

The post included a photo of a man in a t-shirt featuring Crockett’s “bleach blonde” comment about Ms Greene.

Crockett’s now-viral phrase came to life during a fiery spat between the Democrat and Ms Greene at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday night.

The hearing had been called to decide if US Attorney General Merrick Garland could be held in contempt of Congress, following a push from Republican lawmakers.

But the hearing took a sudden turn when Ms Greene attacked Ms Crockett over her “fake eyelashes.”

“I’d like to know if any Democrats on the committee are employing Judge [Juan] Merchan’s daughter?” Ms Greene asked.
