Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett is still reeling from the news that Marjorie Taylor Greene has called it quits, and she's letting Trump have it. In an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Crockett roasted Greene for her inability to handle criticism from the president.
When asked how she would cope with constant hate from MAGA supporters, a question that might seem daunting even for seasoned politicians, Crockett was left incredulous. "You've got to be kidding me," she said bluntly. "You're on the other side of the president for one week and you can't take the heat? It's like sitting in my shoes, only being on the opposite side and facing people who are constantly fanning the flames of hate."
Crockett drew a stark contrast between Greene's reaction to criticism and that of her fellow Republicans. While Trump lambasted others for not toeing his line, Greene suddenly found herself too afraid to take on the president. Crockett questioned how this sudden fragility emerged when others - like Thomas Massie or Lauren Boebert - faced similar backlash.
Crockett accused Greene of being an "instigator" who can't stand a taste of her own medicine. "Now that they're doing it to her, I just got to say, well, why is it that everyone else is able to stand, and you can't?" she said.
In short, Crockett's response was one of utter astonishment at Greene's decision to leave politics over criticism from Trump. While others managed to withstand similar pressure, Greene couldn't seem to cope with even a little bit of heat.

I'm like, totally confused by this news 
. Marjorie Taylor Greene just up and quits? That's not some crazy news, that's just politics, right? 
But what gets me is Crockett's response. She's basically saying Greene can't handle criticism from Trump? That's kinda harsh, don't you think? 
I mean, we've all had our fair share of online drama and trolls, but this isn't exactly new territory for politicians.
Anyway, it's all good drama for us on the internet, and I'm here for it 
Can't wait to see what other tea she spills! 
and by the way, where's the outrage from the rest of the republicans when they're getting torched by trump? seems to me like crockett is just keeping it real 
I think that's what Jasmine Crockett is trying to say here. We should be able to take a punch and dish one out too... if we want to create real change, anyway 
. It's all good drama, though - at least we got some tea spilled 
.
and it made me think about how people perceive nature vs city life u know? like i was walking through this beautiful forest and suddenly i saw a group of ppl taking selfies in front of these huge trees and i'm over here thinking "aren't you guys worried about being trampled?" lol but seriously though, it's funny how people still wanna capture the beauty of nature even if they don't fully understand it 
. What's different with Greene? Is she really that fragile? It's crazy how people can't handle a little criticism when they're in power... but suddenly lose their nerve when they're on the receiving end 
.
It feels like she's trying way too hard to be the "voice of reason" in this crazy world... and honestly, it just comes across as kinda condescending 
. I mean, sure, Marjorie Taylor Greene can be super problematic, but Crockett's response seems to be more about rubbing it in her face than having a real conversation about politics 
and now she's just ghosting politics 
Marjorie Taylor Greene can't handle the president's wrath and suddenly quits? It's like she's being blackmailed into leaving politics by Trump himself! 
I'm all for standing up to criticism, but this is just ridiculous. Why should she have to be 'fragile' just because she crossed a line with Trump? 
whoever. It's like the rulebook changed for Marjorie Taylor Greene overnight!
