Dem Rep. Crockett: Marjorie Taylor Greene Used Racist Trope ‘for the MAGA Crowd’
SUMMARY
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) accused Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) of using a racist trope at a House Oversight Hearing to appeal to the "MAGA crowd," during an interview on CNN's "State of the Union." Host Jake Tapper inquired whether Crockett considered Greene’s comments about her eyelashes to be racist. Crockett affirmed, explaining that while makeup and lashes are common among women, Greene’s remarks targeted her specifically to align with derogatory stereotypes often propagated on social media.
