I had to ask Ms. Crockett if she felt any remorse for attacking another woman’s body in her rebuttal. After all, “bleach-blonde, hunky butch body” is an insult that tears other women apart in worse ways than commenting on fake eyelashes. “I won’t. Her goal was to make a point. If she doesn’t mind attacking me, [the chairman] “This sets a precedent that anyone can launch an attack. The essential question was, ‘Is this attack safe?'”
(Green replied to the following comment) twitter video Characterized by her lifting very heavy weights, she said: “Yes, my body is strong and healthy… I am almost 50 and, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and live this life to the fullest and enjoy every moment.”
Mr. Crockett admits that the whole situation is not suitable for the committee room. But this is the world that Donald Trump has built. “If you look at the things former presidents have done to ridicule people, [have disabilities], always talking about the image of women… It’s sad that that’s their game and it has no place in politics at all,” she says. “But the fact is…this has become the norm in politics now. That’s a problem.”
“And to be honest, I wish she’d just apologized. I wasn’t looking for an opportunity to cut her to size. But I also need people to know that I’m not anyone’s punk.”
Let’s keep it a fact. This was not a shocking move for Greene, who supported fringe conspiracy theories and tried to sabotage the president’s State of the Union address. Twice. “We’re talking about someone who was just a bully,” Crockett says. So I decided to “hit back” on her in the exact same way, but without breaking any of her rules. ”
There is no question that the conversations about croquet among black women around me are generally positive. As I sat in the hair salon on a Friday afternoon, there was a lot of chatter. While I wish Crockett had chosen a different, less offensive term, it’s important for black women to resist the temptation to take it down when they’re “feeling down” like they do when they’re hot. can be difficult. We can’t all be Michelle Obama, and honestly, since she said that in 2016, government professionalism has degenerated to an unrecognizable state. Will First Lady Obama be able to look Green in the eye and make her frown? I’m a little unsure.
Indeed, Crockett’s counterattack went too far.The release of goods that criticize body shapes and Trademark application Includes within 48 hours. But if one more person tells us to “calm down” (looking at you, Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna), and one more white man tells us to “calm down,” and we’re just insulted to our face. If we try to pretend that we’re not (really, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer?), black women are going to lose it. “I definitely don’t think something like that should happen in a committee hearing room. I’d love to get down to business,” Crockett said. “But if I represent a majority-minority district and I’m going to fight for them every day, how can I say that I can’t fight for myself when someone comes at me?”
