We are curious. Are you a fan of Jasmine Crockett? Are you also aware of all the absolutely vile insults MTG hands out on a near daily basis, like accusing Democrats of bring pedophiles? Marge deserves our scorn. The shape of her body is irrelevant and your feedback is appreciated, and we make no apologies for our disdain.

yea, we are big fans of Jasmine Crockett. What's your point? That it's ok to talk/act/insult others like they do? the ends justifies the means...slippery slope and your butch-bodied bullshit is just that - a cheap shot

The point is that Jasmine Crockett said "bleach blonde, bad build, butch body" in reference to MTG in a verbal back-and-forth between the two in a House Oversight Committee meeting last May. That's where the phrase comes from—it wasn't just "made up" by CTTE for this article.

Our point is still valid, AND many of us like me are from the LGTBQ community. Please consider taking a stroll in these shoes, please.

Had you read the entire thread, perhaps you did and missed it, I know exactly where it started in this verbal sparring match. It does not excuse the author of this opinion piece to repeat it, for clickbait shock value, ignoring it pisses a whole lot of their readers off to no end, like me.

So, thanks for your opinion about mine. We disagree. Now go play elsewhere, with the other children. Thanks.

Wow. SOMEONE got up on the wrong side of the bed today. Fine, we disagree. There's no need to call me a "child." Just because something on the Internet offends you, there's no need to play Comment Police and start name-calling and going after everyone who doesn't agree with you.

Wow. SOMEONE just should've moved right on along. You showed your lack of reading comprehension& were a bit condescending yourself honey (read the all the comments and the entire thread next time) before you come at me telling me the backstory. I actually know more than you. Political scientist/public broadcaster before retirement. Thanks.

So much bad news so much at stake that calling her names feels right
