Rep. Jasmine Crockett is perhaps best known now for her false eyelashes, which Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene brought up in a tense hearing. Crockett took the high road, though, dropping the "Crockett Clapback Collection" of swag, starting with T-shirts reading "Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body."
Crockett is far more than a fashion designer. During a confirmation hearing Wednesday, Crockett took the occasion to make note of all of her accomplishments:
Rep. Crockett (@JasmineForUS) uses a confirmation hearing to tout accomplishments: "I currently hold an honorary doctorate; I also hold a juris doctorate. I also hold a bachelor’s. I also technically hold the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol, and I actually… pic.twitter.com/qyVXoNHb97

"… and I actually practiced law for almost two decades, in addition to serving on various boards, in addition to being a prior state lawmaker."
It's truly frightening that she practiced law.
Most of us are lucky to rack up even half as many near-achievements. https://t.co/qPtBe4xSZA

How do you “technically hold” a military rank?????

It's the "honorary doctorate" that impresses me the most.

Like Obama's Nobel Peace prize.

So basically she excelled at failing upward

Some of the stupidest people I know hold those credentials; some of the smartest people I know hold none of those credentials.

Stupid is as stupid does.
What’s your point?
I tend to fall to the ground and tremble in the presence of someone who technically holds the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol, but I guess I still know how to respect true achievement

SAD. She left out the mention that she was the 2006 Time person of the year.

Sean "Diddy" Combs was awarded an honorary doctorate. I'm not impressed.

Why didn't someone point out that her "accomplishments" have nothing to do with this confirmation hearing?

That's quite a CV. May I suggest a semester or two at a quality finishing school? Just needs a little polish. 🙄

The only thing that tells me, is how liberal she really is. From what I’ve seen, getting a degree these days is not that hard.

Yeah, we know all about the Columbia Law School students who thought exams should be canceled and everyone given an "A" after the trauma of police arresting agitators who'd taken over a building.
We are governed by some real winners!

An honorary doctorate from a college that offers no post graduate degrees. And she is going to claim it. What a damn joke
— John Patrick (@injunjohn86) May 22, 2024
I'm actually surprised she doesn't demand people refer to her as Dr. Crockett in deference to her honorary degree.

In my line of work we call these people trophy pointers.

People who tell you about their accomplishments to try and balance against something stupid they did, or a serious deficiency.
We're having trouble reconciling such an accomplished person with the creator of the "Clapback Collection" of swag. You get who you elect.
EQUITY: @RepJasmine hijacked a congressional hearing to share her "accomplishments" for her colleagues. Previously she was known for her fake lashes and now she'll be known for inflating her resume.
