Rep. Jasmine Crockett expressed a stark lack of empathy for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently announced her resignation from Congress amid tensions with former President Donald Trump. During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper, Crockett, a Democrat from Texas and a vocal critic of Trump, commented on Greene's inability to withstand political pressure from the former president.

“You're on the other side of the president for one week, and you can't take the heat?” Crockett remarked, highlighting the brief period Greene opposed Trump before deciding to step down. She added, “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 and imagine what those threats look like when you literally are someone like me.”

Greene, a Georgia Republican and once a staunch ally of Trump, diverged from the president and her party over several issues including the Epstein files, healthcare reforms, and the recent government shutdown. Her opposition led to Trump branding her a “traitor,” which allegedly resulted in threats against her. Greene announced her resignation last Friday, indicating it would take effect early in 2026.

Crockett also pointed out that other Republicans, such as Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, have faced Trump’s wrath without succumbing to the pressure to resign. They, like Greene, supported the release of controversial files related to financier Jeffrey Epstein. “I mean, listen, he's upset with Thomas Massie, and so he's gone after him. He's upset with Boebert, he's upset with any Republican that actually signed the discharge petition,” Crockett stated. “But somehow they were able to weather the storm. Why is everyone else able to stand and you can’t?”

The dynamic between Crockett and Greene has been fraught with tension, notably erupting during a confrontation at a House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing last year. Despite their rocky history, Crockett expressed a semblance of sympathy when Trump withdrew his support for Greene. In a tweet, she reached out to Greene, saying, “I’m here for you girl … I told you not to trust him … all he cares about is HIMself (and protecting pedos) he never loved you.”

While Greene’s future endeavors remain uncertain, Crockett is making headlines herself as she deliberates whether to challenge GOP Sen. John Cornyn in the upcoming elections. As political alliances shift and new battles line up, both representatives are navigating through turbulent waters in their respective careers.
