African American

During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) continued her criticism of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene for insulting her during a bill mark-up hearing that led to the Georgia Republican yelling across the chamber.....

"I also took this as an opportunity to again flex on MAGA and let them know that I will always be smarter than you and you can call me a DEI hire all you want to and launch all of the continuous insults that you want to against me but she is no match for me when it comes to intellect," she insisted. "She just decided, 'Oh, I have privilege so I'm just going to say whatever I want to say' and then leaned back and that is exactly what she did. And she knew that she would face no consequences, or at least she thought she would face no consequences."

"I refuse to be somebody's doormat," she warned. "And anybody suggesting that I should, I need you to look in the mirror and maybe check yourself if you believe it is okay for her to say whatever she wants to say to me and the role that I'm supposed to play is one that says, 'Oh, okay, I know she didn't really mean it or it wasn't really that bad or it's more important that I just sit here and be docile.' That is not who I'm going to be."
