The two lawmakers have had a longstanding feud, and now Crockett is saying Greene can’t take the heat she once instigated.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “can’t take the heat” from President Donald Trump as Greene announced her plans to resign from Congress in January.

“Honestly, I was like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’” Crockett said Sunday on “State of the Union” about Greene’s resignation announcement. “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.”

    I read that she could resign when she claims to and will qualify for her pension just couple few days before.

    If true, it seems to me she decided to spend the last few months trying to save some face so she can try and retire peacefully…unsure that’ll pan out.

      This part doesn’t make sense to me. It’s not like people on the left are going to forgive everything she’s done because she did the absolute minimum necessary to call herself a human for a few months. She’s just making enemies of people on the right, as well.

      will qualify for her pension just couple few days before

      This part makes a ton of sense to me because it’s about money. I don’t know whether it’s true or not about the timing of the pension, though.

      Actually, money might be the entire explanation. Let’s say that she’s getting a windfall after she leaves. Like, maybe somebody has paying her to vote a certain way, but they can’t actually give her the money until she leaves congress because then the bribery would be so obvious, then she might have no reason to lie and say that she supports everything Trump does.

        No, but there’s going to be a book with a lot of lies and half truths that she’ll turn into a introspection and a move from bad-to-good persona.

        That’s enough for how dumb yankistanis are.

        And the marketing agencies will work on her image online like they did with bush, gates and obama. And she can live out rest of her life in a sunny beach and even go on tours and be a esteemed speaker.
