Jasmine Crockett says Marjorie Taylor Greene 'can’t take the heat' after sudden resignation

WASHINGTON, DC: Rep Jasmine Crockett wasted no time in kicking her longtime political nemesis while she was down, mocking Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene for her sudden resignation from Congress.

In an interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s 'State of the Union' on Sunday, November 23, Crockett blasted the Georgia Republican and accused her of fleeing the House because she finally faced the kind of "hate" she has allegedly dished out for years.

Jasmine Crockett claims Marjorie Taylor Greene 'can't take the heat' 

Crockett, who has a history of viral altercations with Greene, dismissed the Republican's claims of being a victim of the political establishment.

"Honestly, I was like, you’ve got to be kidding me," Crockett told Tapper. "You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat."

The Texas Democrat suggested that Greene’s departure was an act of cowardice rather than principle.

"Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes, to not only be on the opposite side of him, but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate," Crockett said. "And now that they’re doing it to her, I just got to say, well, why is it that everyone else is able to stand, and you can’t?"

The Jasmine Crockett and Marjorie Taylor Greene rivalry renewed 

The bad blood between the two lawmakers runs deep.

The pair famously clashed during a House Oversight Committee hearing earlier this year, where Greene insulted Crockett’s "fake eyelashes," prompting Crockett to fire back with a viral insult about Greene’s "bleach blonde, bad built, b***h body."

While Greene cited her fallout with the MAGA establishment and threats to her safety as reasons for leaving, Crockett framed it as a simple inability to handle the political reality of crossing Donald Trump.

Jasmine Crockett weighs in on the Epstein files fallout

When pressed by Tapper on whether the dispute over the Jeffrey Epstein files was the true cause of the "shocking political breakup," Crockett offered a cynical take.

She noted that other Republicans, such as Rep Thomas Massie (R-Ky) and Rep Lauren Boebert (R-Colo), also defied the president on the issue but managed to survive the political storm.

"He’s upset with Thomas Massie... He’s upset with Boebert... But, somehow, they were able to weather the storm," Crockett argued. "So this really speaks to the fact that Marjorie... don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people."

While Crockett seemingly attempted to paint the resignation as a sign of weakness, President Trump has reportedly already moved to close the chapter. He stated on Saturday that he would "always appreciate" Greene despite their differences.
