Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett made a memorable appearance on the talk show, “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where she discussed her exchange with Marjorie Taylor Greene during a House Oversight Committee hearing. The transcript of the conversation included a colorful phrase that caught everyone’s attention.
The congresswoman began by recalling the events leading up to the encounter. The hearing, which was supposed to start in the morning, was delayed until late in the evening because Greene and others had gone to New York to be by former President Trump’s side during his trial. Crockett expressed her frustration that they were still focused on Trump’s failed trial instead of the topics at hand.
As the hearing progressed, Greene began talking about Judge Maran instead of the Attorney General, which further irked Crockett. Frustrated by the late timing, Crockett questioned whether Greene understood the purpose of the hearing. This led to a heated back-and-forth, during which Greene made derogatory comments about Crockett’s appearance, referring to her as having a “bleach-blonde bad-built Butch-body.”
Crockett didn’t hold back and responded with a heartfelt comment, taking the opportunity to dress Greene from “head to toe” and questioning her intelligence. The phrase, though spontaneous, had great impact and soon went viral.
After the incident, Crockett received support from various sources. Her pastor, for example, reached out to her with amusing remarks about the phrase. Even some Republican women acknowledged the humorous aspect of the situation. However, it was clear that Greene had managed to rub people from all sides the wrong way, as Crockett also received messages from Republican men complimenting her eyelashes.
Not long after the incident, Crockett was approached by the President’s campaign team, who recognized the potential of her newfound fame. They sent her on the road to spread her message, emphasizing that the upcoming election should be about the people rather than divisive personalities.
Crockett’s message to the public centers around the importance of selecting a strong team that will work in their best interest. Regardless of political affiliation, she encourages voters to be selfish and look for candidates who prioritize issues such as affordable housing, fair wages, and access to healthcare. She emphasizes the need to focus on building a better America for everyone, rather than just one segment of the population.
In light of the incident, supporters have begun selling shirts with Crockett’s iconic phrase to raise money for her campaign. In a fun twist, Jimmy Kimmel even suggested a list of other phrases she could use if she were to encounter Marjorie Taylor Greene again in the future.
Overall, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett‘s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live showcased her ability to stand up for herself while injecting a touch of humor into a serious situation. Her message of unity, progress, and prioritizing the needs of the people resonated with viewers from all walks of life.
