During a heated exchange at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Thursday night, Crockett’s now-viral phrase came to life. The Democrat and Ms. Greene engaged in a fiery spat that caught the attention of many.
Republican lawmakers had pushed for a hearing to determine if US Attorney General Merrick Garland could be held in contempt of Congress.
During the hearing, the situation took an unexpected twist as Ms. Greene launched an attack on Ms. Crockett, criticizing her choice of “fake eyelashes.”
Ms. Greene inquired whether any Democrats on the committee are currently employing Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter.
Judge Juan Merchan is currently presiding over the hush money trial involving Donald Trump in New York. Both the former president and other Republicans have consistently criticized the judge and his daughter, citing her previous work for Democrats.
Ms Crockett responded to Ms Greene, questioning the relevance of Merrick Garland to the matter at hand. She sought clarification, asking if Ms Greene was aware of the purpose of their meeting.
Ms. Greene retaliated, stating, “I believe you are unaware of your purpose here. Your fake eyelashes seem to be interfering with your reading.”
After Chairman James Comer determined that Ms. Greene’s remarks did not infringe upon House rules, Ms. Crockett fired back with her own passionate response directed towards the Republican congresswoman.
The committee member questioned the chairman, asking if it would be considered a personal attack if someone were to comment on another person’s bleach blonde, bad-built butch body.
Greene’s workout video gained significant attention on the internet. One person, podcast host Fred Wellman, responded to the video by saying, “Remember when you started it? We do. Nice try. Here’s the thing… it’s not about how much you work out or how much you lie… it’s the hate you spread that makes you unattractive, not your appearance.”
Democratic Virginia House of Delegates candidate, Jessica Anderson, responded strongly, stating that no amount of exercise can alter the ugliness that resides within a person. She emphasized that the attacks on human rights, democracy, and freedom are the reasons why the individual in question has become a target for people from all political backgrounds. Anderson concluded her message by reminding the person that even their God can see the ugliness within.
Former Republican New York Representative, George Santos, quickly expressed his support for Ms. Greene, applauding her for being unstoppable despite the criticism she receives. In a heartfelt message, he acknowledged her phenomenal shape and the envy it inspires in others.
