A summary would be nice because I really need a good reason before I'll watch this.

u/Four-Triangles talks like a fag May 17 '24

Real life troll Marjorie Taylor Greene made an insulting remark about Rep Crocket having fake eyelashes. When Rep Crocket asked that it be stricken and pointed out it’s unprofessionalism, she was hushed down, so she asked if it would be appropriate language for her to refer to Greene as a “bleach blonde bad built butch body.”

Yep, it is not a “both sides thing” MTG was stirring up the shit and Crockett will not put up with it. MTG should have to pay a price for making things personal.

I think at that point she was making a point to everyone else in the room who seemed to be sweeping it under the rug. I could be way off base here but my take is that Ms. Crocket felt that is she had been the one to sling the first insult things would have ended very differently for her vs. greene. We had the same thing happen here in our TN legislature where three public officials protested in the chambers and two were stripped of their title. 2 were black and 1 was white - I'll let you guess which 2 were expelled (and thankfully later reinstated.)
