Democrat Jasmine Crockett says Marjorie Taylor Greene 'absolutely' was 'racist' with attack on appearance in late night committee hearing and warns 'don't come for me'

Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett doubled down that right-wing firebrand Marjorie Taylor Green is 'racist' and warning the Georgia congresswoman 'don't come for me' after Greene attacked Crockett's appearance in a late night hearing.

Crockett, who is Black, went on CNN's State of the Union Sunday where she was asked about Greene ridiculing her 'fake eyelashes' in a hearing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress on Thursday. 

 'I think her specifically doing it to me, yes, that was the intent,' Crockett responded to a question by moderator Jake Tapper about whether the attack was racist. 

'[Women] wear all types of things to beautify ourselves, but MAGA has historically been on social media doing the things where they're saying "oh she's Black with lashes and nails and hair and so she's ghetto,' Crockett said. 

'To me, this was her buying into that rhetoric and trying to amplifying this for the MAGA crowd, and so yeah, I absolutely think that she only did it to be racist towards me,' Crockett added.

'It is buying into a racist trope, but the reality is that women of all colors wear lashes,' Crockett said. 

Crockett said Greene faced no punishment for her attack during the hearing, so she does not anticipate there to be consequences.

'I think the Speaker should be inclined to try and rein her in after trying to kick him out of his position, but they just let Marjorie do whatever she wants to do, and I think this was the first time that someone actually said "no, you won't just treat me whatever way you want to and get away with it."'

Greene went after Crockett's appearance during a hearing late Thursday. 

'I don't think you know what we're here for,' Greene said at the hearing before turning her sights on Crocketts' appearance. 'I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading.' 

Republicans refused to remove Greene's comment from the record. 

At that same hearing, Crockett fired back by asking committee chairman James Comer about personal attacks 'if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body' if that would be against the rules.

She did not mention Greene by name, but the remark was clearly direct at her. 

Crockett said on Sunday that she does not regret her response.  She said she signed up to be a member of Congress but not to be disrespected. She claimed MAGA does not respect the rules or the law.

 On Friday, Crockett shot back that Greene is 'racist.' 

'That is them attacking me, really as a black woman and all they're trying to do is be like racists. That's it. That's that's all it is, is racism,' she said. 

Crockett also suggested that Greene would probably raise money off the attack 'because the racists are gonna be so happy to give it to her' and noted that Greene has never criticized the appearance of any of her other colleagues. 

When pressed Friday if personal attacks are fair game after the Georgia Republican ridiculed her looks, Crockett said 'I don't think they've ever been on the table.'

'I think that we have someone who is not fit for Congress that is currently serving that does not adhere to the rules,' the Democrat said of Greene. 

In a Saturday she warned Greene in an MSNBC interview 'don’t come for me. That that is all that I need to tell her. Don’t come for me with it.'

The Texas congresswoman is now doing her own fundraising for Democrats off her own 'bad built, butch body' response with 'A Crockett Clapback Collection' of merchandise.

Progressive 'Squad' member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez also got into a spat with Greene during the hearing, where she called for the remarks to be removed from the record. 

In a moment that went viral Ocasio-Cortez responded to Greene 'oh girl, baby girl.. don't even play.'

She said on Friday that it was not lost on her that Greene targeted the only Black woman on the committee. 

Greene also got in a verbal fight with AOC during the hearing, which prompted the New York Democrat to tell the Georgia Republican 'Oh girl, baby, girl... don't even play'

Comer has said he was unable to keep up with the members's insults because he has two hearing aides and was not able to discern what Greene, Crockett and AOC were saying at the time. 

There were also allegations that some members were drinking booze before or during the late night hearing.
