At one point, Crockett criticized Greene’s line of inquiry to fellow Democrats on the committee, to which Greene responded, "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading."
It prompted a flurry of jeers from Crockett’s fellow Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who forced the panel to vote on whether Greene could speak further.
Just as Greene was recognized, Crockett asked Comer for clarification, "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?"
A day later, Crockett announced "A Crockett Clapback Collection" that would "feature various swag that includes random things I’ve said."

At one point, Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the top Democrat on the committee, said in the hearing, "There is an ethics principle that no solicitation of a campaign or political contribution may be linked to an action taken or to be taken by a member or employee in his or her official capacity. That's just a reminder to my side. I hope that nobody is linking specific actions that you’re taking on the Oversight Committee to campaign contributions or solicitations."

The Greene spokesman accused Democrats of "pure hypocrisy."
But Crockett's office responded to Fox News Digital, "The condemnation of Comer’s email was not merely because it referred the Committee, but rather because the content within it that clearly violates ethics rules."
"In contrast, Rep. Crockett did not engage in an official act merely by saying these six words and one would be hard pressed to find how these six words could be found as one," Crockett’s office added.
Fox News Digital reached out to Raskin’s office to ask whether his comments extended to Crockett as well. Fox News Digital also reached out to Crockett’s campaign for a response to Greene.
