Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you: Jasmine Crockett claps back at Marjorie Taylor Greene s lies, while MTG doubles down on racism

Get the Full StoryIn a political landscape that often feels like an endless loop of bad takes and misinformation, Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again secured her spot as the reigning queen of racially charged rhetoric. Her latest attempt to rewrite history came in a social media post where she boldly claimed, George Floyd died from a drug overdose. Given that Greene s grasp on facts is about as sturdy as a sandcastle in a hurricane, this claim was as predictable as it was incorrect. For those keeping score at home, George Floyd did not die from a drug overdose. Floyd s death, which sparked one of the largest social justice movements in American history, was ruled a homicide by multiple medical experts. The official autopsy report and the testimony during the murder trial of former officer Derek Chauvin cited cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression as the cause of death. In plain terms: Floyd died because a cop knelt on his neck for over nine minutes while he begged for air. Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you George Floyd died from a drug overdose.He was one of the hundreds of thousands of Americans killed by fentanyl that is trafficked across our border by cartels.Jasmine Crockett doesn t care about Americans killed by drugs like George Floyd, she cares about protecting cartels https: t.co ikwpLnecjQ pic.twitter.com Bs6apqrVov Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene RepMTG May 15, 2025 But why let the facts get in the way of a perfectly inflammatory tweet? Greene took to X to spread this falsehood. In a clapback for the ages, Greene s archnemesis, Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett responded, Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain t your strong suit so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That s called murder. Ouch. Crockett didn t just pull the receipts she stapled them to the metaphorical forehead of her ill-informed colleague. In a response, Greene accused Crockett of somehow siding with drug cartels for rejecting her fantasy version of Floyd s death. Greene wrote, George Floyd died from a drug overdose. He was one of the hundreds of thousands of Americans killed by fentanyl that is trafficked across our border by cartels. Jasmine Crockett doesn t care about Americans killed by drugs like George Floyd; she cares about protecting cartels from being deported. Greene s misinformation merry-go-round Marjorie Taylor Greene politicized the LA fires today and blamed our state for the tragedy. No one should be taking any fire safety advice from Marjorie Taylor Greene who also thinks space lasers cause wildfires. She should apologize to our state. pic.twitter.com bsEFH4IKwj Congressman Robert Garcia RepRobertGarcia January 14, 2025 This isn t Greene s first ride on the misinformation merry-go-round. She s been a consistent purveyor of conspiracy theories, from claiming that Jewish space lasers started wildfires in California to insisting that mask mandates and COVID vaccines were government overreach designed to oppress Americans. But her latest jab at Floyd s memory struck a particularly sour note, especially as the nation continues to grapple with the racial inequalities his death forced into the spotlight. Greene s attempt to rewrite Floyd s death as a mere drug overdose is not just a stunning display of historical revisionism but a dangerous attempt to undermine the very real, very tragic circumstances of his murder. This kind of rhetoric not only disrespects Floyd s memory but also emboldens those who seek to dismiss the systemic issues that made his death possible in the first place. As for Crockett, she has proven herself more than capable of standing up to Greene s brand of inflammatory politics. In just a few words, she managed to distill the frustration of millions who have grown weary of the relentless spin machine that turns fact into fiction at the speed of a Greene tweet. So while Greene doubles down on her revisionist talking points, Crockett s sharp retort serves as a reminder that truth still has a place in American discourse even if it occasionally has to shout over the clamor of bad takes and historical gaslighting. Here s hoping Greene s next attempt at rewriting history comes with a little more research and a little less rhetoric. But hey, if it doesn t, at least we know Crockett will be ready with the facts and a killer comeback to set the record straight.
