Hi, it’s Jasmine Crockett, the Democrat representing Texas’ 30th Congressional District.
There’s a saying I live by that I think some members of Congress should take under consideration: Don’t start a fight you can’t win.
When Marjorie Taylor Greene insulted my appearance at a recent congressional committee hearing, she must have thought I would just let that slide and let bygones be bygones.
But she didn’t know who she was messing with.
I’ve spent my political career standing up to bullies — from Greg Abbott and anti-choice extremists in Texas, to Marjorie Taylor Greene and Donald Trump in Washington. And when it comes to bullies, if you give an inch, they’ll take a mile.
That’s why I refused to let Marjorie Taylor Greene get away with her outrageous and racist comments. That’s why I had no choice but to call out her bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body.
If you agree that bullies need to be held accountable, then I’m asking you to stand with me at this critical moment. Whether it’s a school playground or the halls of Congress, a bully is a bully — and they need to be held accountable. That’s why I will always fight back against MTG. But I need your support, so will you chip in $5 or more straight away -- split evenly with Hold Them Accountable ? >>
Thank you,
Jasmine Crockett
