Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) blasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) for resigning from Congress the moment she found herself at odds with the president.
“You’re on the other side of the president for one week, and you can’t take the heat?” Crockett told CNN host Jake Tapper. “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.”

She pointed out that many other Republicans who have pushed for the release of the Epstein files have been able to handle Donald Trump’s wrath.
“Marjorie has been an instigator of a lot of this hate that we see as it relates to the MAGA movement,” Crockett continued. “It’s just interesting that I don’t know if she really fully understood how bad she was making it for other people, and now that they’re doing it to her… Why is it that everyone else is able to stand it and you can’t?”

Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) for over a month.
At the time, Crockett pointed out that Greene was responsible for many of the problems she is criticizing now.
