Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett recently reignited her ongoing conflict with Marjorie Taylor Greene at a Senate campaign event, boldly stating she had “knocked out that bully.”
Their rivalry dates back several years, originating when Greene criticized Crockett for wearing false eyelashes during a 2024 Congressional hearing.
Speaking at a Senate campaign event in Fort Worth on Thursday, Crockett asserted that she had emerged victorious in their verbal clash.
“Sometimes, when you confront a bully, especially one who targets your eyelashes, you might just end up knocking that bully out,” Crockett declared.
“Because, as far as I’m aware, she’s no longer in Congress.”
Greene shocked many last year by stepping down after a contentious fallout with Donald Trump, who was once her staunch supporter.
Crockett and Greene’s first public spat happened during the hearing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress in May 2024.
‘I don’t think you know what we’re here for,’ Greene said at the hearing before turning her sights on Crockett’s appearance. ‘I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.’

During the hearing, Crockett hit back at Greene asking the committee chairman if personal attacks like ‘if someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body’ if that would be against the rules.
Crockett went on to accuse Greene of being racist for the attack.
‘She’s racist. That is them attacking me, really as a black woman and all they’re trying to do is be like racists. That’s it. That’s that’s all it is, is racism,’ Crockett said.
When Greene announced her resignation, Crockett told CNN the Greene caved to the pressure of fighting with Trump.
‘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,’ she said.
Crockett, who is a vocal critic of Trump, announced her Senate bid in December after ex-congressman Collin Allred announced that he would seek a seat in the House instead.
Allred said he dropped out to avoid an ugly primary – and a likely runoff that would be triggered if no candidate receives a majority in the first round of the March 3 vote.
Crockett is set to face off with Rep. James Talarico in the primary, with the winner set to challenge the Republican incumbent Sen. John Cornyn or a primary rival like AG Ken Paxton.
The two-term representative’s fiery rhetoric, including branding Trump ‘Temu Hitler’ and calling his supporters ‘mentally ill’, has put her on the map nationally.

Earlier this month, Crockett was caught with multiple errors on her campaign site before her team scrambled to correct them.
The 44-year-old Democratic firebrand, who launched her Senate campaign two months ago, shared her stance on critical social issues in the state – but the content didn’t appear to be proofread before it was published.
On the site, under the slogan ‘Crockett Texas Tough’, a bulleted list displayed the liberal’s ‘priorities.’
In the initial mention of insurance companies helping citizens with mental health issues, Crockett’s team seemingly forgot to delete ‘write out your bullet point here’, the placeholder statement that appears when building a website.
Before edits were made, senior CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere spotted the error.
‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapies Write out your bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works,’ the line originally read.
The bullet point has since been shortened to: ‘Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapies.’
Online users also uncovered that her campaign added a bullet point praising her work on gun control in the Social Security section of her website. That error has since been amended.
