Rep. Jasmine Crockett Slams MTG as "Instigator" Who Can't Take the Heat After Her Shocking Resignation
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett is leaving it to her colleagues to pick up the pieces of Texas Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's sudden retirement, but she made sure to throw some shade in the process.
When asked about Greene's decision to step down following a tumultuous week with President Donald Trump, Crockett let out an exasperated sigh and said, "You've got to be kidding me." The firebrand Democrat can't believe that Greene folded under pressure, especially when compared to other Republicans who faced similar criticism from the president.
Crockett drew a stark contrast between Greene's reaction and her own colleagues, saying they were able to weather the storm after being targeted by Trump. "He's upset with Thomas Massie, and so he's gone after him," Crockett pointed out. "He's upset with Boebert. He's upset with any Republican that actually signed the discharge petition." Meanwhile, Greene seemed to be unable to withstand even a little criticism.
In essence, Crockett is calling Greene an "instigator" who can't stand taking her own medicine. The Democrat asked rhetorically, "Now that they're doing it to you, I just got to say, well, why is it that everyone else is able to stand, and you can't?" The blunt response left no doubt about Crockett's opinion on Greene's departure.
Greene had cited being a "battered wife" as her reason for quitting, hoping the situation would improve with time. However, Crockett couldn't help but take issue with this claim, stating that she refuses to be seen as weak-willed by simply stepping away from the heat.
It appears that Greene's sudden resignation is just another casualty of her complicated relationship with Trump. With her departure, it remains to be seen whether the Republican party will learn any lessons from the situation.

I mean come on, MTG thinking she's a 'battered wife' just because she can't handle some criticism? Like, no offense to people who've been through real abuse, but if you're in Congress and you can't take the heat, that's not a reason for you to step down. It's just politics, girl! 
Meanwhile, Crockett is right on point about Greene being an 'instigator' who can't stand taking one for the team. Like, hello, you're a public figure, if you can't handle it, maybe stay out of the spotlight? 
But seriously, this whole thing just reeks of desperation and weakness. Can't we have some real leaders in Congress instead of drama queens like Greene? 
. She was always one to stir up drama and now she just up and quits? It's almost like she got played by Trump and couldn't handle it 
.
She thinks she's a "battered wife" trying to play the victim card? 
... I feel kinda bad for Greene actually 
. But at the same time, I'm like... what's the real reason she quit? Was it really because of Trump or was it something else? 
She's not afraid to throw some shade at GTG for being a total wimp when it comes to taking heat from Trump 
Greene's whole "battered wife" thing is just laughable 
so i made a little diagram to illustrate why crockett thinks mtg folded 
but maybe she just couldn't handle the heat 
in the end
. But you know what really got my goat? She trying to spin it as being a "battered wife" 
that's just rich coming from someone who thinks conspiracies and lies are okay 
. It's like she thought she was above all the drama, but in reality, she's just another politician who can't handle being held accountable 
Stats on Politician Resignations: 
75% of politicians who faced backlash from President Trump ended up quitting their jobs, compared to only 20% of those who didn't receive criticism 
. And let's be real, if other Republicans can take Trump's criticism without losing it, why should we feel sorry for Greene? 
Think about it, when all these other reps are getting roasted by Trump and they still manage to keep their cool, why does Greene crumble? It's not like she didn't see it coming 
And that 'battered wife' excuse? 
, so maybe this was a necessary exit strategy. Crockett's just trying to stir up more controversy with her "instigator" comments 
She's always been a bit of a drama queen, but this is just ridiculous. "Battered wife" excuse? 
The girl's been getting roasted by Trump all week and still manages to hold it together. Greene, on the other hand, can't even handle a little criticism without folding under pressure.
