Two Lawmakers Get Into Physical Fight?

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on May 16, tensions flared between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia and Rep. Jasmine Crockett from Texas, nearly leading to a physical altercation, according to Crockett. The hearing was focused on whether Attorney General Merrick Garland should be held in contempt of Congress for not providing audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York vocally supported Crockett during the heated exchange. Rep. Ayanna Pressley from Massachusetts was also prepared to intervene physically, as Crockett later shared with The Independent. Crockett highlighted that Pressley’s readiness to step in was not captured on camera.

The confrontation began when Crockett questioned Greene’s understanding of the hearing’s purpose. Greene responded with a personal attack on Crockett’s appearance, implying it was affecting her comprehension. This prompted Ocasio-Cortez to call out Greene for her unacceptable remarks and defend Crockett.

Despite Ocasio-Cortez’s intervention, Greene dismissed her objection with a sarcastic retort. Crockett then questioned the committee chairman, Rep. James Comer, about the inconsistency in ruling Greene’s comments as not being personal attacks. She illustrated this by suggesting a hypothetical comment about someone’s appearance, asking if it would also be dismissed.

Under pressure, Greene agreed to retract her remarks but did not apologize to Crockett. Shortly after, Greene posted a video of herself working out, seemingly addressing the criticism about her body with a defiant message about her fitness, emphasizing her natural strength.

Crockett capitalized on the incident by launching a new line of merchandise inspired by her clash with Greene. Two weeks later, during an appearance on “The View,” Crockett described Greene as a bully and discussed the broader implications of their confrontation. She emphasized that Greene often goes unchecked but highlighted the support women of color receive when they stand together.

Crockett expressed no regret over the altercation, emphasizing its broader significance. She explained that the incident shed light on the challenges women of color face at work and how collective support can change people’s behavior. Crockett’s full interview with The Independent is set to be released later this week.
