A congressional spat between Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jasmine Crockett has taken an unexpected turn, with Crockett's attempt to monetize the feud backfiring due to an embarrassing typo on a T-shirt she planned to market.
In a bizarre twist to the fiery congressional hearing that featured a clash between Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jasmine Crockett, the latter has drawn further scrutiny and mockery for a misspelling on a T-shirt she intended to sell as merchandise inspired by their spat.
The feud erupted during a House Oversight and Judiciary Committee hearing, during which Greene criticized Crockett's "fake eyelashes." The exchange escalated, leading to Crockett's retort that Greene was "bleach blonde, bad-built, and a butch body."
Following the hearing, Crockett announced on social media that she was selling a T-shirt emblazoned with her now-infamous "bleach blonde" insult, intending to use the proceeds to support Democratic candidates. However, eagle-eyed observers quickly noticed that Crockett's signature on the shirt appeared to be misspelled as "Crockrtt."
The typo drew widespread criticism on social media, with many users mocking Crockett for her apparent lack of attention to detail, while others questioned her fitness for office. Conservative musician "Five Times August" condemned the shirt as an "embarrassment" for Texas and the country, while journalist Brad Polumbo urged Crockett to resign. Conservative personality Kimberly Klacik labeled the move a "branding mistake."
Undeterred, Crockett initially responded to criticism by asking who "Crockrtt" was, prompting further ridicule. Her team has not publicly addressed the misspelling.
Meanwhile, Greene has continued to trade barbs with Crockett on social media, posting a picture of herself wearing a blonde wig and fake eyelashes, accompanied by the caption, "I'm a bleach blonde with a bad-built body and I'm proud of it."
The T-shirt debacle has become a source of amusement and embarrassment for Crockett, highlighting the potential pitfalls of attempting to capitalize on political feuds with merchandise.
