Fake news!
IOW, a squib.
Apologies for a NYPost link, but MTG showing her classy self.
Congress has become a Mean Girls sequel, apparently.
All the clips I’ve seen of hearings by this committee underline what a low-life MTG strives to be and that Comer is a seriously dim bulb.
that poor man was sooooo out of his depth. the republicans really have no idea of how to govern.
“a what now”, was just the best and funniest bit.
MTG has the mental agility of a badly rusted slinky. She pulls on it thinking it’s going to make a neat snapping sound and bounce back. But all it does is break and then she blames everyone else because she broke her own toy.
OTOH, kudos to Rep. Crockett for the alliteration! Probably not off the top of her head, but still very impressive to have that in your back pocket and have the presence of mind to be able to pull it out at the right time.
“That’s beneath even you, Ms. Greene!” Democratic ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) interjected, as the chairman of the panel, Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), repeatedly slammed his gavel and called for order.
I beg to differ.
I’m guessing somewhere in between. I doubt that she had it going into this hearing, but there was a lot of back of forth after MTG made her insult before thing settled down and Crockett asked for her clarification, so she had a few minutes to decided on exactly what description she was going clarify when she got the chance.
The smirk on Raskin’s face when she delivered her clap-back is priceless
And congressman Goldman.
And she never mentioned Goone by name. But butch body was a dead give away.
Mentioning her by name would have rightly gotten her slapped down. Keeping it as a thinly veiled (emperor’s new clothes thin) hypothetical let her fly.
“I’m not touching you!”
“butch” made me cringe. I love Jasmine Crockett, but I believe her hands would be cleaner now if she had come up with another alliterative term.
Another alliterative adjective?
ETA:
(Oh, I get it now. You, too, were alliterative. Ha ha.)
I don’t know why I can’t post anything from twitter these days, but if anyone wants to check out TNBrando on there, he’s just released a fun little song called “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” and it’s a real banger.
I’m glad for the explanation, at least. I’m suddenly seeing references to “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” popping up all over my Facebook feed, and had no idea what it was all about!
