‘That’s Absurd’: John Fetterman Fires Back Some Words For AOC Following Oversight Committee Fight

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) responded to remarks made from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) who bashed him for not defending Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

Earlier this week, Crockett and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) levied personal insults at each other after the Georgia lawmaker called out Crockett’s “fake eyelashes” in the middle of a House Oversight Committee hearing.

Crockett responded by referring to Greene as a “bleached blonde, bad-built, butch body.” Following the exchange, Fetterman made a post on X comparing the hearing to the Jerry Springer show, which caused Ocasio-Cortez to respond by writing, “you likely would not have stood up for your colleague and seemed to be confused about racism and misogyny being a both sides issue. But I stand up to bullies instead of becoming one.”
