Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) stated Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “can’t take the heat” from President Donald Trump as Greene introduced her plans to resign from Congress in January.
“Honestly, I was like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’” Crockett stated Sunday on “State of the Union” about Greene’s resignation announcement. “You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat? Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes to not only be on the opposite side of him but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate.”
On Friday, amid a public fallout from the president over the hassle to launch the Epstein recordsdata, Greene introduced she would resign from Congress.
“My only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First,” Greene stated in a press release. “With that has brought years of nonstop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day.”
Crockett stated Greene has been an “instigator” to “a lot of the hate” from the Make America Great Again motion.
“I don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people, and now that they’re doing it to her, I just gotta say, why is it that everyone else is able to stand and you can’t,” Crockett stated on “State of the Union.”
Greene and Crockett have had a longstanding and public feud. At a 2024 House listening to, Greene made a adverse remark about Crockett’s false eyelashes, and as lately as August, Greene claimed Crockett didn’t perceive “the Black American struggle.”
But final week, after Trump publicly pulled his endorsement for Greene, Crockett supplied her help for Greene on social media, writing, “I’m here for you girl… I told you not to trust him… all he cares about is HIMself (and protecting pedos) he never loved you.”
Even although Greene introduced her time in Congress will quickly come to an finish, in response to TIME, Greene has thought of working for president in 2028.
Crockett, whom together with Greene is on the House Oversight Committee, which launched greater than 20,000 paperwork earlier this month associated to the Epstein case, stated she isn’t positive if Trump is talked about within the different recordsdata which have but to be launched.
