Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA ) used a racist trope earlier this week to impress the “MAGA crowd,” according to Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX ) on CNN’s” State of the Union.”
Guest Jake Tapper asked,” You have since called her racist. I want to know what you think about this. Do you believe that her pursuing your eyelids is prejudiced in and of itself?
Crockett said,” I think her especially doing it to me, yes, that was the goal as has been stated people wear beauty, we were eyebrows, we were all types of items to beautify ourselves. but MAGA has previously been on social internet doing the points where they’re saying,’ Oh, she’s dark with eyebrows and nails and hair, and so she’s camp.’ And so, in my opinion, this was her trying to magnify that speech for the MAGA group. And so, yes, I am absolutely certain that she was only acting discriminatory toward me.
Tapper said,” Because it was towards you or because it was eyelashes, so in that sense, it’s kind of like, in your view, buying into a racist trope”?
Crockett said,” It is buying into a racist theme, but the reality is that people of all colors were brows”.
