Marjorie Taylor Greene speaks out as Crockett files trademark for 'bleach blonde bad-built butch body'

Marjorie Taylor Greene has spoken out after Jasmine Crockett is said to have filed a trademark application for the phrase bleach blonde bad-built butch body.
Half an hour into House Oversight Committee proceedings last Thursday, the Republican lawmaker lined up the Democrat in her crosshairs insulting her fake eyelashes. While the House devolved into chaos with Ms Green also taking aim at Alexandria Ocasio-Cortezs intelligence, the congresswomans insults were ruled not to have flouted rules.
Scratching her head at the decision, Ms Crockett asked whether making remarks about somebodys bleach blond, bad-built butch body was also allowed a clear jibe at Ms Greene.
Ms Crockett is now looking to capitalise from the feud, with her campaign purportedly filing a trademark for the scathing alliterative remark, according to documents viewed by Fox News. The Texas representative plans to create a suite of hats, hoodies, socks, and t-shirts branded with the phrase, as per the documents.

This is the type of epic trolling that Fetterman had actually done to Dr. Oz during his Senate campaign (regardless of what Fetterman thought of the goings-on between Crockett, AOC, and MTG nowadays). She has effectively shut the howler monkey down leaving her speechless and responding defensively for the first time.

(16,973 posts)You mean like you did, Marge, with that childish crack about Crockett's eyelashes? Or are the rules different for people with different amounts of melanin in their skin? Just checking.

In late February 2023, one of the burning questions on the internet was "How many toes does U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene have?" The reason for all the curiosity focused on Greene's feet was social media posts like this:
marjorie taylor greene three toes
In the photograph above (magnified below), Greene can be seen wearing open-toed shoes and appears to have only three toes on each foot.
(Just a quick cut/paste without trying to bring over the image. You'll see at the link.)

Her feet are NSFW.

And that shit she attacked Crockett with, SHOULD HAVE BEEN STRICKEN from the congressional record. Congress is still a men's club, though, and they view this as a petty "catfight" and don't want to be bothered. However, these are congress members, and that kind of crap on the floor is against the rules. That should have been pointed out and that shit stricken from the record.
Crockett has a right to defend herself from Gangreene's mouth. She is not mounting an attack on Gangreene. This is a counterattack and a justified one at that.

I don't think she realized it would go viral, and when it did, she capitalized on it and put in for this trademark. It's the American way!

Crockett didn't create the phrase. It comes from an old song. If you don't want to listen to the entre thing, follow the link and start at 39 seconds.

(2,958 posts)Greene did her eyelash thing. Ocasio-Cortez called for her words to be taken down. There was a lot of back and forth and withdrawing of comments and such before Rep. Crockett fired off the Six Bs.
She had some time to think about it whilst other people were arguing, and she's trial lawyer, so used to thinking under pressure.
It was a great line, but she didn't fire it back at Empty G on the spot.

Given MTG's psych profile, humiliating her is an effective tactic.
She is very thin skinned and sensitive about certain remarks made about her.
Yes it may have a somewhat sleazy feel to it.
But we either fight back hard or we live under a fascist regime.
It is our choice.

(66 posts)A bully will not understand you turning the other cheek. You have to retaliate quickly and hard. This way will not teach them anything, they are incapable of learning anything; but being cowards; they will leave you alone and bother someone else.

BeyondGeography
(39,435 posts)But before Crockett lowered the boom on MTGs appearance, Greene said, Why dont you debate me? You dont have the intelligence.
Now that was ugly. If anything, Rep. Crockett was measured in her response which, judging by Greenes reaction, was well and properly aimed.

The parallel to most work situations would be that if someone harassed you in the presence of the boss and they did nothing, you have a toxic work environment. Youd escalate it to the next level or to HR, and hope that it would be resolved there. In Congress there is no such option.
appmanga
(637 posts)...who attacked a physical attribute of another person and did it with the smug self-satisfaction of the 11-year old she was channeling, she deserves to be smacked down in a way that gives her a very strong taste of her own sick medicine. There's a time to play by the rules, be decorous and the adults in the room, and there's a time to fight a match with a blow touch.
Ridicule is a very powerful weapon and a certain bloviating fat orange megalomaniac has used it to great effect. Democrats don't always have to bring flowers to a knife fight.

But MTG had to start- FAFO.
I bet MTG wouldnt go into nearby Anacostia DC and say what she said to Rep Crockett to another female POC. She would have her @$& handed to her!
Novara
(5,944 posts)Ordinarily, I'm all for fighting back. For far too long we Dems have "taken the high road" which means we get stomped by bullies.
But continuing to engage in a middle-school mean-girl name-calling insult-o-rama is just plain juvenile.
Fight better battles. The other side sure gives enough opportunities.
IzzaNuDay
(379 posts)What could have Rep. Jasmine said differently?
Personally, I think MTG got a taste of her own medicine. She deserved it!
I am not saying Ms. Crockett shouldn't have responded. But she probably should have responded with more tact and allowed Three-toes to look like the idiot that she is. There is supposed to be decorum, and she could have insisted on that rather than stooping to her juvenile level.
However, trademarking what she said and selling junk with the saying is tacky and it continues the middle-school mean-girl fight, which is what I object to.
I don't object to responding to bullies. I object the continuation of a juvenile name-calling mean-girl fight.

This is just too good...
Crockett's campaign filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office over the weekend. The application indicates that they'll use the phrase on clothing including hats, hoodies, socks, and shirts.
The new campaign merchandise will be part of the "Crockett Clapback Collection."
This entire saga was set off when Greene insulted Crockett's "fake eyelashes" during a committee hearing. Crockett hit back with the now-famous phrase by addressing Republican Chair James Comer.
"Im just curious, just to better understand your ruling..." said Crockett. "If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebodys bleach blonde bad built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"
Greene was so deeply upset by the barbed comments that she posted a video on social media of herself exercising with the caption: "Yes my body is built and strong NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle."
Clearly, Crockett hit her mark.

And Jasmine Crockett is quite intelligent as well. Just like Porter, Warren and others. The Democrats have great bench strength. They do.
MTG is dumb as a stick. So is Boebert. I'd a hundred times rather have Ocasio-Cortez as my Rep, because I'd actually feel represented. Seriously. I had Ken Buck before, and I might end up with Boebert.

It's also super petty and will accomplish little but bringing Crockett further down to MTG's level.
