Last night’s antics in the House Oversight Committee were nothing short of a disgrace on both sides. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s comments about Jasmine Crockett’s eyelashes may have been hilarious, but they were also wildly unnecessary given the severity of the proceedings, which served to implicate Attorney General Merrick Garland in perhaps one of the most heinous governmental cover-ups of information relating to the mental well-being of a President ever.
Take it to the women’s room in the future—or better yet, outside.
The back and forth between Greene, Crockett, and AOC – who obviously had to stick in her oar – devalued the credibility of the hearing to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. It also raises questions, for the intellectually honest, about catty women taking swipes at each other in the halls of Congress. Don’t we have enough problems already?
It began with the aforementioned swipe at the stick-on lashes, which, in MTG’s defense, are indefensible:
Rep. Greene makes fun of Rep. Crockett's fake eyelashes and all hell breaks loose.
You have to watch the entire exchange.

Naturally, hell begins to break loose. And by hell, we mean AOC’s shrill insistence that MTG’s words are beyond the pale. Ironically, AOC has never had a problem attacking fellow members of Congress for their personal appearance, whether male or female.

Crockett, 43, finally came up with a rebuttal of her own, blasting MTG as being “bleach blonde” with a “bad built, butch body.” Crockett may have a brutal point, but she’s hardly one to talk. Often seen sporting ironed hair and a keen fupa, Crockett has ghettoized Congress in the most suitable way possible in a post-BLM era.
Truly, Madea has come to Congress.

The crescendo of the carnage leaves one feeling sorry for the double-barrelled deaf committee chairman, James Comer, who looked out of his depth in being able to wrangle the two Southern belles and their New York accomplice.
Between Crockett, MTG, and AOC, believe it or not, the House of Representatives just got a whole lot more ratchet, last night.
