Tapper presses Crockett over her counterattack about Marjorie Taylor Greene's appearance

CNN's Jake Tapper speaks with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) about her verbal altercation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during a tense House Oversight Committee markup on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt. #CNN #News

Why are black people suppose to keep quiet when insulted? Mrs. Crockett did the right thing and I hope she doesn't hold back when confronted!!😮

by no means keep quiet - but act responsibly and professionally ... and don't play the race card [it's old and tired] ... and stop with the sass - it's NEVER appropriate ... crockett will learn to respond appropriately or she will never be anyThing more than loud-mouthed and unprofessional and known for all the wrong reasons ... someone else violating the rules never justifies violating the rules in retaliation ... crockett needs to stop being a victim - she got played, and she's apparently an easy target ...

Purpose of Congress is to debate forcefully but respectfully and MTG comes out looking like a cheap, stupid idiot when her unprofessional antics are on display. When you engage on her level, you lower yourself to her level which is the game MTG is playing. That's why AOC kept it on a professional level. Crockett, when she gets more experience, won't allow herself to be goaded to nearly operating on MTG's low level.

To vote for a known liar, a convicted rapist (and you're a female), a convicted fraudster, a "man" who wants to be a dictator, a "man" who is his presidency, passed only 1 major legislation, which was giving the wealthy a huge tax break, which hurt every single American citizen immensely and continues to do so to this day. When he and his Rethuglicans had complete control of the presidency and congress, did NOTHING to improve the border, NOTHING to improve the lives of the American people. To support and vote for a "man" that's committed so many crimes, it's hard to keep track. Remember when he was running for president and said, he has so much money he'd NEVER ask his supporters for their money, and that's ALL he does (besides constantly lying). Lisa, one day, you're going to realize the disservice you've done to your country, to your fellow Ameircans, to the world, and to yourself.
