‘Can’t Take The Heat’: Jasmine Crockett Rips MTG’s Resignation From Congress … from Crooks & Liars Heather

Rep. Jasmine Crockett had no sympathy for Marjorie Taylor Greene who is finally finding out what it’s like to be on the other end of the hatred she’s been spreading for years. Crockett was asked what she thought when she first heard about the announcement that Greene is resigning from Congress in January, and Crockett told it like it is when it comes to Greene finally reaping what she’s sown.

REP. JASMINE CROCKETT (D-TX): You know what?

Honestly, I was like, you have got to be kidding me. You’re on the other side of the president for one week and you can’t take the heat. Imagine what it is to sit in my shoes, to not only be on the opposite side of him, but to have people like her who are constantly fanning the flames of hate.

And imagine what those threats look like when you literally are someone like me. But, at the end of the day, I know that I serve the people of Texas 30, and so my job isn’t to be there and necessarily do whatever is going to make the president not be on my back, but instead is to focus on making sure that I can push forward with policies that are positive for Texas 30.

TAPPER: Here’s an excerpt from her resignation video. Take a listen.
