PoisonPill Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) If we needed more proof that it's nothing but clowns in that building, on both sides of the aisle https://www.yahoo.com/news/rep-jasmine-crockett-trademarks-bleach-234200156.html Rep. Jasmine Crockett filed to trademark "bleach blonde bad-built butch body" — the term she used to insult fellow lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene during a House Oversight Committee meeting last week. The Congresswoman from Texas said she's also compiling a "Crockett Clapback Collection" of her favorite zingers, which she plans to put on swag. Crockett's social media indicates that will include T-shirts emblazoned with her description of Greene. USA Today said customized hats, hoodies and socks will also be made available. Proceeds "will go to ensuring that we have a Democratic House!" Crockett posted on X. Crockett coined the phrase "bleach blonde bad-built butch body" on the House floor during a contentious debate in which Greene suggested the Texan's "fake eyelashes" were interfering with her ability to read congressional documents. When House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer declined to discipline his Republican colleague, Crockett asked if it would be acceptable for her to make fun of Greene's hairdo and physique. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — a longtime Greene rival — also got involved in her nemesis' May 16 tiff with Crockett. "Baby girl," she snapped at Greene. "Don't even play."

GraceRandolph Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Good. Conservatives and right wing Dems are bullies. Time they got a taste of their own medicine.
getBusy Posted May 24 Posted May 24 (edited) Actually i don't mind this bc it prevents MTG from doing exactly that Edited May 24 by getBusy 7
Khal Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Wouldn't be the US if she didn't try to monetize every little bit of popularity. 1
Red Velvet Posted May 24 Posted May 24 Politicians should be banned from doing this idk She's definitely not the first but it makes others focus on a viral catchphrase to sell merch instead of doing their job.

Most politicians are just people who wanted to be famous but weren't attractive or talented enough to make it in Hollywood. They get a cushy taxpayer salary to quite literally accomplish nothing at their jobs, then take off three months a year. 1
PoisonPill Posted May 25 Author Posted May 25 14 hours ago, Princess Aurora said: I'm glad someone put that demon in its place MTG is a demon from hell (and started the jabs with the eyelash comment). But this ends up helping her. Body and gender shaming her publicly, then turning the insult about her body into a trademarked catchphrase with merchandise, is shockingly petty and low-class especially for an elected Member of Congress whose salary is paid by us. It's allowed demon MTG to give herself a bullied victim edit. She posted a weightlifting video with an essay about being proud of your body shape that's gotten tons of likes. Crockett was justified in responding to the initial insult, but she escalated it 5x and just looks mean now. 1

It's not my fault If people aren't bright, it shows there's something wrong with the US as a country.
LegaMyth Posted May 25 Posted May 25 ^^^ No one will see her as a victim. By the way, Crockett continues to cook and be a true representative of someone that wants to help.
Communion Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Eh, I'll let her cook, since people hyped up K*tie P*rter and they have similar voting records, though she could be more progressive. Her consistent anti-progressive votes re: crypto is a very interesting red flag and noticeable pattern that might show something interesting when looking at PAC support / donations.
