By U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett is turning a heated congressional clash with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene into a fundraising opportunity. The Texas congresswoman, who famously sparred with Greene over their physical appearances, is now selling merchandise featuring a memorable phrase from the confrontation.
In an interview with TMZ on Tuesday, Rep. Crockett expressed her disappointment in House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for not disciplining Greene after she made a “fake eyelashes” comment that sparked last week’s viral spat. Crockett emphasized the importance of following rules in Congress and was dismayed by Comer’s decision to overlook Greene’s behavior.
Crockett recounted the incident, noting that while she stood her ground against Greene, she is now channeling that energy into commerce for a cause. During the heated exchange, which also involved Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Crockett delivered a stinging retort, calling Greene a “bleached blonde bad built butch body.” This phrase has now been emblazoned on t-shirts that Crockett is selling.
The congresswoman has filed a trademark application for the phrase and aims to use the proceeds to support other Democrats running for congressional seats. Crockett also issued a warning to potential bootleggers, stating that they could face cease-and-desist letters if they attempted to profit from her idea.
Crockett’s entrepreneurial move not only highlights her quick wit but also her commitment to raising funds for her party, turning a moment of conflict into an opportunity for political gain.
