Nancy Mace Challenges Jasmine Crockett to a Fight on House Floor

Stop me if you’ve heard this refrain before, but a meeting of the House Oversight Committee erupted into chaos when MAGA lightning rod Rep. Nancy Mace challenged rising star Dem. Rep Jasmine Crockett to a fight.

Mace got her panties into a twist when Crockett called her “child” while criticizing her obsession with anti-trans messaging. This anti-trans hysteria is endemic in the GOP, Republican politicians bash trans people to raise funds and energize their base.

“Somebody’s campaign coffers really are struggling right now,” Crockett said of Mace. “So she can’t keep saying trans, trans, trans, so that people will feel threatened. And child, listen—”

Mace immediately interrupted, yelling: “I am no child! Do not call me a child. I am no child. Don’t even start. I am a grown woman, 47 years old.” There is no better way to prove that you are not a child than by screaming hysterically in a setting where decorum and civility should prevail.

While Crockett tried to continue speaking, Mace shouted, escalating the matter to a new level, challenging her to a physical confrontation:

 “I have broken more glass ceilings. You will not do that. I am not a child. … If you want to take it outside, we can do that.”

Mace is an evangelical Christian who wears her religion on her sleeve. With so many MAGA evangelicals in Congress who engage in histrionics, threaten violence, eschew civility, and demonize racial and sexual minorities we should prepare ourselves for many more spectacles.

Jasmine Crockett Deserves a Nobel Prize for Calling MTG #BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody

I’ve been posting essays online since 1998, I’ve written thousands of articles, and I’ve come up with some inventive phrases that are the envy of my fellow bloggers. (or so I imagine)

But Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s eviscerating of Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) by dismissing her as “BleachBlondBadBuiltButchBody entails a presence of mind and mastery of the English language that I simply don’t possess. And to think that she came up with this alliterative coup de grace off the cuff, just boggles my mind.

I rarely praise ad hominin attacks but Crockett’s verbal takedown of MTG was richly deserved considering that personal slander is the Georgia congresswoman’s modus operandi. This is not a case of both sides are wrong, MTG was the first to resort to personal attacks by making fun of Crockett’s fake eyelashes. Frankly, it was about time that somebody gave MTG a taste of her own medicine.

#BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody was the perfect insult to lob against a profane anti-LGBT legislator, but I need to stress that I intend no disrespect to the many beautiful #BleachBlondGoodBuiltButchBody queer women.

Forevermore whenever MTG opens her mouth we will think: Oh shut up you #BleachBlondeBadBuiltButchBody!
