In a scathing interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett expressed her astonishment and frustration with the sudden resignation of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. When asked about Greene's decision to step down after intense criticism from President Donald Trump, Crockett couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"It's got to be kidding me," she said incredulously. "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."
Crockett's comments were a stark contrast to Greene's earlier statement that she refused to be a "battered wife" and hoped things would get better. Instead, Crockett painted Greene as an "instigator" who can't stand up for herself when faced with criticism.
The Texas representative pointed out that others in the Republican Party have had similar run-ins with Trump, but were able to weather the storm. For example, Reps. Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert have also faced Trump's wrath, yet they remained in office. So, why did Greene fold under pressure?
Crockett's sharp words were a clear indication that she views Greene as someone who can't handle a little bit of criticism and is instead trying to deflect the issue altogether. "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.
Overall, Crockett's response was a clear slap in the face for Greene, suggesting that she needs to toughen up if she wants to survive in the cutthroat world of politics.

come on, marjorie taylor greene couldn't handle a lil criticism from trump and now she's runnin away with her tail between her legs? 
i mean, what's next gonna be like, you gotta be perfect in office or u r outta there? 
crockett's right though, the rest of em could take it, they just don't have that fragile ego 
. Crockett's got some serious points, though - if you can't take the heat, why bother being part of this crazy party? It's like she's saying, "Girl, bye" to Greene... and it's about time too 
.
the way Rep. Jasmine Crockett roasted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is fire 
! It's like she called out Greene's lack of spine and said "girl bye" 
. And what's with the "battered wife" comment? So cheesy 
!
! Rep Jasmine Crockett is literally speaking truth to power and calling out Marjorie Taylor Greene for being a total wimp 
. Maybe Greene needs to take a page out of their book 
?
. But, girl, being a politician is all about taking the heat and learning from your mistakes 
. Like, what happened to her whole "I can take it" vibe 
.
, but I'm not sure if it was just a slap on the wrist or a genuine attempt to get her to grow 
.
It's almost like she was playing a pawn in a bigger game. What do you guys think is really going on here? Is this just politics as usual or are we seeing the beginning of a major power struggle within the party? 
ugh I'm so done with Reps like Marjorie Taylor Greene who can't handle even a little bit of criticism 
. If you're gonna stir up hate and drama, you gotta be ready for it when it comes back around 
. And honestly, if other reps like Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert can handle Trump's wrath and still be in office, what's Greene's problem? 
. Newsflash: if you're gonna play the victim, you gotta be able to stand up for yourself too 
, knows how to throw shade without being too extra 
... crockett's got a point though - if others can take the heat from trump and still come out unscathed, what's really holding green at bay? is it fear or just not knowing how to handle criticism? anyway, all this drama highlights that some people are more resilient than others when faced with adversity 
. And Crockett's responses are just 
. The way they're using transitions between questions is also super smooth 
. It's like a work of art, folks! 
According to CNN, Marjorie Taylor Greene has a 44% approval rating among Republican voters in Georgia 
. Meanwhile, Jasmine Crockett has a 72% approval rating in Texas 
. This raises an interesting point: are some politicians just not cut out for the job? 
Let's look at the numbers:
. This could be an opportunity for Greene to reassess her strategy and focus on building support from the communities she's supposed to represent 
.
.
.
. Let's keep an eye on this story and see how things play out! 
. I'm still not convinced Greene just folded under pressure... maybe she was just playing a long game
