Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene following Greene's sudden announcement that she will resign from the House effective Jan. 5, 2026. Crockett referenced past personal insults and accused Greene of instigating hate within the MAGA movement. Crockett said Greene could not "take the heat" after opposing the president for a week and described threats against her as intensified because of her identity. Jake Tapper noted Greene suggested a dispute over releasing Epstein files and a falling out with President Trump led to the resignation. Crockett contrasted Greene's exit with other Republicans who weathered similar backlash.
