Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrated her 50th birthday with an Instagram post flaunting her physique after her recent spat with Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The post sparked mixed reactions, with some praising her confidence and others suspecting photo editing.
After their now-viral Capitol Hill clash, during which Crockett criticized her fellow politician's appearance, Greene defended herself online but faced backlash. Meanwhile, Crockett embraced the moment, announcing a "Crockett Clapback Collection" to benefit House Democrats.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Shows Off Her Body In Swimsuit Photo
Greene marked her 50th birthday on Memorial Day, taking to Instagram to show off her physique in a baby blue bikini paired with a patriotic cowboy hat.
In a reflective caption, The Georgia congresswoman recounted her accomplishments, including being the first in her family to graduate college, raising three children, and running successful businesses.
Greene also highlighted her ability to balance her professional responsibilities with her hobbies, attributing it all to "God's grace that I don't deserve but am thankful for beyond words."
In her post, Green wrote in part, "Many people go into their 50th birthday thinking it's a bad thing, but I truly feel it's wonderful, and I'm so excited and grateful God let me live 50 years and do so many things."
She concluded, "And God willing, I'll passionately continue each step following Him wherever the road leads."
Marjorie Taylor Greene's Birthday Post Drew Mixed Reactions
Greene's birthday post sparked a variety of reactions in the comments as some praised her confidence in the bikini, with one admirer saying, "If that is a butch-built bod, I'll take one, please. HBD MTG."
Another wrote, "Happy birthday to our American bad--s! Thank you for fighting so hard for us."
However, some were skeptical, suspecting the photo had been photoshopped. One commenter remarked, "I didn't think there were enough filters to make that face look good."
Another said, "Marge is in all her feelings after Jasmine called her body butch lmao. Having said that, I highly doubt this is her body. Look at her feet, those are NOT our toes! Everyone knows she has funky toes!"
A third person noted, "This pic is OBVIOUSLY photoshopped," while a fourth commented, "Someone photoshopped her picture. Your arms are big! Now they look lean."
The Fight Between Marjorie Taylor Greene And Jasmine Crockett
The bikini photo comes after Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized Greene's "bleached blonde bad built butch body" during a contentious Capitol Hill hearing.
During the hearing, Greene clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Crockett at the House Oversight Committee hearing about holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
Greene stirred things up by questioning if the committee's Democratic members employed Manhattan Criminal Court Justice Juan Merchan's daughter, who is presiding over Donald Trump's hush money trial.
Crockett questioned the relevance of Greene's comment, to which Greene retorted, "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading."
Ranking member Jamie Raskin rebuked Greene, saying, "That's beneath even you, Ms. Greene." AOC then demanded Greene's remarks be stricken from the record and condemned her for criticizing Crockett's appearance.
After a heated exchange involving Greene, Ocasio-Cortez, and Committee chair James Comer, Crockett sought clarification on acceptable discussion topics during hearings.
She inquired, "I'm just curious, just to better understand your ruling. If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"

The exchange between the two lawmakers quickly went viral on social media, with many finding it entertaining, reminiscent of reality television drama.
Trying to control the narrative, Greene took to X (formerly Twitter) to post: "Yes, my body is built and strong. NOT with nips, tucks, plastic, or silicone, but through a healthy lifestyle."
However, critics were quick to slam her in the comments. One wrote: "Yes, through a healthy lifestyle of lying, harassing school shooting victims, and cheating on your husband, mixed in with not doing your job."
Another added: "Remember when you started it? We do. Nice try. Here is the thing...it doesn't matter how much you work out and how much you lie... it's the hate you spew that makes you ugly, not your looks."
A third said, "Hey, Marjorie Taylor Greene. Maybe your body is strong, but you're still dead inside, and your soul is dark. What you may have in brawn, you lack in brains and kindness. But sure, keep body-shaming others. It will only make you a worse person than you already are."
Jasmine Crockett Announces A 'Crockett Clapback Collection'
On the other hand, Crockett has embraced the viral moment. She filed to trademark the "B6" phrase and announced a "Crockett Clapback Collection" line of merchandise to benefit House Democrats.
Taking to X, she posted: "So we are going to drop 'A Crockett Clapback Collection.' This collection will feature various swag that includes random things I've said. The money will go to ensuring that we have a Democratic House! Give me a little time to really get the swag online etc., but B6 will drop first."
She added: "If you have things you want to see come to life, let me know. Post graphics or just phrases that you want to see."
