After MAGA Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to insult Crockett's 'fake eyelashes,' the Democratic Rep. responded with a zinger about Greene's 'bleach blonde, bad built, butch body'—and it became an instant classic.

After Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene attempted to insult Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's "fake eyelashes," Crockett responded with a zinger about Greene's "bleach blonde, bad built, butch body" that inspired social media users to create some catchy tunes.

It all started after tensions flared during a hearing to determine whether Attorney General Merrick Garland could be held in contempt of Congress and diverted the discussion by questioning whether any Democrats on the committee employed Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter.


Merchan is presiding over Donald Trump’s hush money trial, and his impartiality has been a point of attack for Trump and other Republicans due to his daughter's political affiliations.

Crockett, a freshman member of the Oversight Committee, responded:

“Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland?"

Greene lashed out with the following insult:

“I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading."

This comment triggered chaos in the hearing room, with Chairman James Comer struggling to maintain order for nearly an hour. Despite agreeing to strike her words from the record, Greene refused to apologize to Crockett.

But Crockett threw Greene's insult right back at her:

“If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blond, bad-built butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”

You can see Crockett's question below:



The insult quickly went viral on X, formerly Twitter, prompting social media users to create some catchy tunes with Crockett's words as a starting point.

Consider this one from an X user who sang that Greene is "swinging for the fences because God Almighty" and "cries like a baby when she don't get her way."

The videos later caught Crockett's attention—and she loved it.

She shared the video and responded:

"The INTERNET is UNdefeated! This thread is so that all the B6 songs can be consolidated into one space! Someone just sent me the first country song! I must admit I’ve had a number of Bops stuck in my head."

You can see her post below.

She asked people to share their favorites, which they did immediately.

One video sounds like a Motown classic.

Another used the insult to create some electronica.

Another is perfect for the club on a Saturday night.

As does this one.

And this one sounds like something Meghan Thee Stallion would be proud of.

People loved this new trend of course.












After the exchange went viral, Rep. Crockett launched a Crockett Clapback Collection online merch store to raise money for Democratic House candidates.

James Talarico Epically Blasts Trump And Senate Opponent Over What It Means To Be A 'Real Man'

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico criticized his opponent in November's election, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, as well as President Donald Trump in a speech about what it means to be a "real man" after facing regular attacks on his masculinity.

Trump has described Talarico as “a weird—a weird—candidate,” a line that was quickly incorporated into an advertisement from Paxton, who argued that that Talarico is unfit to represent Texans partly because of his supposed veganism. Members of the right-wing have followed suit and described Talarico as an “effeminate, estrogenetic, catty, and totally embarrassing” candidate.

Jennifer Aniston And Lisa Kudrow's Idea For A 'Friends' Spinoff Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons

For decades, critics have argued that Friends benefited from a television landscape that often overlooked Black-led sitcoms telling similar stories. So when Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow recently floated the idea of a Friends spinoff called Girlfriends, many viewers saw it as yet another example of Black television history being left out of the conversation.

During Variety's Actors on Actors, Aniston and Kudrow discussed what a potential Friends revival could look like more than 20 years after the sitcom ended its original run.
