Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Greene mentioning her eyelashes was an attempt to make her look “ghetto,” while even Rep. Lauren Boebert said she was embarrassed by her GOP colleague.
Crockett was responding after Greene said at a Thursday night House Oversight Committee meeting that Crockett couldn’t read past her “fake eyelashes.”
A spokesperson for Greene pushed back on the claim from Crockett that the Georgia Republican’s statement was “racist,” saying the only person who referenced any sort of “color” was Crockett when she made a remark about Greene’s physical appearance and that the reason the committee went off the rails the way it did was because Democrats spent the beginning of the hearing attacking former President Donald Trump.
“It was embarrassing what was going on,” Boebert told reporters on Friday. “...I couldn’t bring myself to stand in defense of that, I wouldn’t do it for the other side.”members could attend Donald Trump’s trial in New York
