During a House Oversight Committee hearing on May 17, 2024, tensions escalated when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) made a personal comment about Rep. Jasmine Crockett's (D-Texas) appearance, specifically mocking her eyelashes.
This led to a heated exchange involving Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) stepping in to defend Crockett. The incident disrupted the proceedings, with Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) struggling to maintain order. The event has sparked widespread discussion and criticism on social media, highlighting ongoing tensions and personal attacks within political discourse.

Marjorie Taylor Green responded on X with, "I’m not going to keep you all addicted to outrage and hopium that never solves a problem or stops the inevitable implosion of the United States of America.
