Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), who earned bigger fame this year with a congressional hearing-room battle with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) that went viral, sought to contrast Vice President Harris and Donald Trump during a speech at the Democratic National Convention.
Crockett, a rising Democratic star, said that while Harris “lived the American Dream,” Trump had been “America’s nightmare.”
“One candidate worked at McDonald’s while she was in college at an HBCU,” Crockett said, referring to historically Black colleges and universities.
“The other was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and helped his daddy in the family business — housing discrimination, that is,” she quipped.
While Harris became a “career prosecutor,” she called Trump “a career criminal — with 34 felonies, two impeachments and one porn star to prove it.”
During the fight with Greene, Crockett and other Democrats were outraged with the Georgia Republican made a comment about Crockett’s appearance.
“I don’t think you know what you’re here for,” Greene told Crockett at one point. “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
After more acrimony, Crockett eventually, without naming Greene, lobbed an insult against her that she later made into a t-shirt, asking if someone on the panel could be in trouble if they start “talking about somebody’s bleach blond bad built butch body.”
