Marjorie Taylor Greene Just Responded To Lawmaker Jasmine Crockett's Viral "Bleach Blonde, Bad Built, Butch Body" Comment
If you didn't know, Congress has been absolutely chaotic this week after an incident involving two lawmakers trading insults went viral.
Marjorie Taylor Greene started the back-and-forth after commenting on Congressperson Jasmine Crockett's false eyelashes in a hearing. In response, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democrats demanded that Greene's words be struck from the record and that she apologize, which she refused.

Representative James Comer ultimately ruled that Greene's comments about Crockett did not violate House debate rules against engaging in "personalities" or personal attacks. This ruling prompted Congressperson Crockett to then ask: "I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"
"A what now?" Congressperson Comer asked, seemingly confused.
Member of Congress Jamie Raskin's reaction was PRICELESS.
The exchange has since gone mega viral, leading to a flurry of memes, reactions, and even TikTok song remixes. And now, Greene has responded.
She recently posted a 17-second video of herself lifting weights in a garage while Sia's "Unstoppable" plays in the background.
"Yes, my body is built and strong. NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle," Greene captioned the video. "Soon turning 50 years old, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and LIVE this life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment!"
Oh, Marjorie! Check out the full video here.
