Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is defending her physique after a squabble during the House Oversight Committee.
MTG, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got into a heated exchange last Thursday after Greene said, “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading” to Crockett.
Ocasio-Cortez then asked the committee to take down MTG's words. After some back-and-forth between Taylor Greene and Ocasio-Cortez, Crockett stepped in to ask Chairman James Comer (R-KY), “If someone where to talk about somebody’s bleach-blonde, bad built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?”
In an Instagram post on Monday, Taylor Greene posted a workout video to seemingly prove Crockett’s comments wrong and to show that she is in shape with Sia's song "Unstoppable" playing in the background.
“Yes my body is built and strong 💪 NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle,” MTG wrote in the post.
Taylor Greene, who will be turning 50 on May 27, wrote in her post that she plans to remain active with all the extracurricular activities she participates in.
“Soon turning 50 years old, God willing, I will continue to lift, run, swim, play sports, surf, ski, climb and LIVE this life to the fullest and enjoy every single moment!” she wrote in the post.
MTG and AOC: Fight during House hearing
Georgia’s primary election
Rep. Taylor Greene's fight isn’t over yet. The 14th congressional district primary is May 21. Although no one is currently running against incumbent Greene in the Republican primary, she will have to face off against a Democratic challenger in the general election on Nov. 5.
The four candidates vying to win the Democratic primary are:
According to Ballotpedia, Luke Farmer (R-GA) was to run against MTG. However, Farmer is classified as a "disqualified or withdrawn candidate" for the election.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Farmer announced the end of his campaign.
"It's now the evening before election night, and I would like to say thank you to everyone who has come to support me, now and forever," Farmer wrote on the post. "I know my campaign wasn't that great, and I didn't even qualify for the ballot. But that doesn't mean write-ins aren't an option. Win or lose I still would like to say thank you to everyone especially my campaign team."
