Here's Why Everyone Is Calling Marjorie Taylor Greene "Bleach-Blonde, Bad-Built, Butch Body"

I've been away for the past few days, and when I logged in, my entire timeline was filled with the words "bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body."

Yep, "bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body."

After searching for answers, I found the meaning, so let's break down the drama.

It all started on Thursday night during a House Oversight Committee meeting when Marjorie Taylor Greene told Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas, "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading."

I don't know who this is. The image shows a person with long blonde hair looking surprised or shocked, with a slightly open mouth, and another person blurred in the background

This led AOC to demand that Marjorie Taylor Greene's words be stricken from the record, which the NYT reported would mean she wouldn't be able to speak for the rest of the session.

Eventually, Marjorie Taylor Greene agreed to have her words taken off the record, and that's when we got the "bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body" moment.

Jasmine Crockett tried to get clarification on what kind of behavior is appropriate, asking, "I’m just curious, just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody’s bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
