Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) “can’t take the heat” from President Donald Trump as Greene announced her plans to resign from Congress in January.
“Honestly, I was like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’” Crockett said Sunday on “State of the Union” about Greene’s resignation announcement. “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.”
On Friday, amid a public fallout from the president over the effort to release the Epstein files, Greene announced she would resign from Congress.
“My only goal and desire has ever been to hold the Republican Party accountable for the promises it makes to the American people and put America First,” Greene said in a statement. “With that has brought years of nonstop, never-ending personal attacks, death threats, lawfare, ridiculous slander and lies about me, that most people could never withstand even for a day.”
Crockett said Greene has been an “instigator” to “a lot of the hate” from the Make America Great Again movement.
