- Crockett defended himself by taking advantage of the insult he spat at Greene
- “There was demand,” he said, adding that he would use it to elect Democrats.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shrugged off the ‘poorly shaped, bleached blonde tomboy body’ insult that her Democratic colleague, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, lobbed with a bikini photo from her 50th birthday.
“Many people come to their 50th birthday thinking it’s a bad thing, but I really feel like it’s wonderful and I’m so excited and grateful that God has allowed me to live 50 years and do so many things,” she wrote on X along with the photo. .
Crockett, meanwhile, defended profiting from the insult he spat at Greene during an Oversight hearing earlier this month. He said Republicans do it all the time and that he was using the funds to elect Democrats.
“When I set out to do the brand, I didn’t do it personally, I did it as part of the campaign,” Crockett said on ABC’s “The View.”
‘It was because there was a demand. I am a business student who was also a lawyer. Then the two things came together.”

Crockett lashed out at the way Republicans had run the House and said he was working to make Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries House speaker.
‘It’s about making sure we can raise the money. It’s so we can help save our democracy. “My money goes to the front lines, people who are fighting to make sure we can take the House,” Crockett said.
‘We have seen that the House has been run like a circus. We need Jeffries as Speaker of the House. And then if they lose the House, I’ll just go ahead and blame Marjorie.

She filed a trademark for ‘bleached blonde tomboy body’ with the US Patent and Trade Office and plans to introduce a clothing line and political consultancy under that name.

“I don’t think you know what we’re here for,” Greene said at the hearing before focusing her gaze on Crocketts’ appearance. “I think your false eyelashes are ruining what you’re reading.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-New York, then erupted, demanding the president “take down” Greene’s words and apologize. Greene agreed to have his words redacted from the record, but did not apologize.
During the hearing, Crockett responded to Greene by asking the committee chair if personal attacks such as “if someone on this committee starts talking about someone’s poorly shaped, blonde, male body,” “that would be against the rules.”
‘And now that?’ said Chairman James Comer, R-Kentucky.
Crockett then accused Greene of being “racist,” arguing that Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., wears hair extensions and false eyelashes and Greene hasn’t attacked her for it.
