Rep Crockett has no regrets about slanging match with Marjorie Taylor Greene: ‘MAGA doesn’t respect rules’

Democratic Rep Jasmine Crockett is standing by her now-viral comments about Marjorie Taylor Greene during an explosive hearing on the House floor on Thursday night.

Ms Crockett, who represents Texas, got into a fiery exchange with the MAGA lawmaker that culminated in her throwing an insult about a “bleach blond, bad-built butch body” in Ms Greene’s direction.

The remark came after Ms Greene insulted Ms Crockett’s “fake eyelashes.”

When CNN’s Jake Tapper asked Ms Crockett if she regretted her comments on “State of the Union” on Sunday morning, her answer was clear.

“I don’t. Because, here’s the thing, I signed up to be a member of Congress,” Ms Crockett said.

“That didn’t mean I was supposed to walk into a position where I’m going to walk in and be disrespected.

“The problem with MAGA is that MAGA does not respect rules, nor do they respect the law,” she continued, referring to Ms Greene’s affiliation with the far-right and Donald Trump’s MAGA platform.

Ms Crockett also took a jab at the gang of House republicans who attended Mr Trump’s hush money trial in Manhattan on Thursday just hours before the testyHouse Oversight Committee hearing that night.

“That is exactly why they're all running up to Trump's trial, because he's in trouble, not because of some big conspiracy by the administration,” she said.

On Friday, top Democrat Jamie Raskin claimed that some of those Republicans may have been drinking on the trip.

“There was drinking going on in the hearing room on the Republican side,” he told The Hill on Friday.

“You had a bunch of members who had skipped legislative votes yesterday in order to go to Donald Trump’s trial...I don’t even want to imagine how much drinking was taking place on the train or up in New York.”
