Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is hitting back hard after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) attacked her background and tried to question her identity as a Black American.
On a recent episode of Megyn Kelly’s podcast, Greene took shots at Crockett, saying she doesn’t really understand what it means to be Black in America.
“So she claims to be, you know, from her people,” Greene said. “She puts on this image that she understands the black American struggle. But let’s face it, the girl went to private school. She went on to, you know, I don’t know what college and law school.”
Greene didn’t stop there. “She’s a complete fake. She’s as fake as her eyelashes. She’s as fake as her hair. She’s as fake as her fingernails. And she is such a massive fraud,” she added.
Crockett fired back on X with a blunt response.
“It is funny that MAGA cultist want to challenge my blackness because of my education,” she wrote. “Y’all are a joke. Walk a day in my shoes where your white supremacist friends send me hateful emails, death threats, DMs, & posts, and then you can tell me if I’m truly living the black experience in this country, UNTIL then mind your business.”
She added: “ALSO ‘being black’ has nothing to do with education… (BUT for the record, if it did, just know that the MOST educated demographic in THIS country is BLACK WOMEN 🎤 so stop pretending like we are inferior in ANY WAY!)”
