I think you’re right and I think she should be removed from her seat…
Our words matter farther than her.
All I’m saying is that the body shaming comment shouldn’t be made into a T-shirt…because it is harmful to more than just her.

Now we heard that her bullying behavior will be met with more bullying behavior and no one will care how many other people get hurt, we will only care that we got to hurt her.
I don’t teach my girls to turn the other cheek… That’s how to teach them to accept abuse…
I don’t teach them to accept abuse and I don’t teach them to be abusive in return.

For those that don't like the bleach blonde butch comment, they can take that as an opportunity to talk to their girls about how wrong it is, to be kind, turn the other cheek, etc.

MTG is a classic bully, that doesn’t mean no other girls listening matter anymore.

We cannot control what others say. We can only control how we react or not react to it.

I think what bothers me the most about this whole thing is the focus is more on what Crockett said than MTG’s ongoing record of being a racist bully. I’ve seen it happen too often (hell, I’ve experienced it myself) where the bully mercilessly pokes and pokes and pokes and when the victim finally has had enough and lashes out - THEY are the one that is seen as wrong and out of pocket.
And specifically to Crockett, telling her to “calm down” further pushes that “angry black woman” stereotype when she was just having a normal (and honestly poised) clap back to someone making a racist dig at her.
I just don’t like this narrative that Crocket/black women/victims of bullying should just take shit and then they’re wrong for having a reaction.
Now for the shirt — I agree with MurdicMistress (sorry if I spelled that wrong!) upthread that the meme-ification of everything is getting ridiculous (though my millennial ass is surely guilty of it at times). But if not her, *someone* was going to make a shirt out of it. She’s just securing the bag on her own words.
