U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, has filed a trademark application to own the rights to the phrase “bleach blonde bad-built butch body.”

“Well I know people just think I play a lawyer on TV, but I am one in real life with a background in business,” Crockett told the AFRO.

“The demand to buy merchandise is so high that I don’t want people buying shirts from other people. Instead I’m taking this very bad moment and turning it into an opportunity for good,” she added.

Crockett has decided to let her campaign handle the trademark and the distribution of clothing that will soon sport the phrase “bleach blonde bad-built butch body.”

The Texas lawmaker hopes the proceeds will help her secure her Congressional seat and “give money to other people and hopefully minimize voices like Marjorie Taylor Greene.”

Crockett’s move comes days after she hurled the alliterative insult at Congresswoman Greene, a Republican from Georgia, during a House Oversight Committee hearing last week.

The lawmakers were slated to vote on whether to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for his refusal to turn over recordings of an interview between President Joe Biden and special counsel Robert Hur.

Greene initiated the viral moment and said to Crockett: “I don’t think you know what you’re here for…. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”  

Despite calls from Democratic committee members for Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., to address Greene’s misconduct, Comer decided to excuse the Georgia lawmaker’s behavior.

Later during the hearing, Crockett wanted clarification on the rules of conduct and asked Comer, “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?”

After clips of the hearing went viral on social media, some called Crockett “ghetto” and “unfit” to serve as a member of Congress.

In an interview with the AFRO, U.S. Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., said that he disagrees with critics.  

“If running your mouth is going to be a prerequisite, well there are many of my colleagues who need to go,” said Donalds.

He added, “They were in the getting at each other. You move on.”

Crockett told the AFRO, “These are people who would never support me in the first place and they look for any excuse to call me that. That’s just their racism shining through.”

The Texas lawmaker added that “anyone who has something to say about me and has nothing to say about Marjorie Taylor Greene is less than sincere.”
