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:
Tom Elliott (@tomselliott) ~ 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 practiced law for almost two decades, in addition to serving on various boards, in addition to being a prior state lawmaker."

jimtreacher.substack.com (@jtLOL) ~ Most of us are lucky to rack up even half as many near-achievements.
GayPatriot (@GayPatriot) ~ How do you “technically hold” a military rank?????
And Don't Call Me Shirley (@Meme_Behavior) ~ It's the "honorary doctorate" that impresses me the most. Like Obama's Nobel Peace prize.
Mark Lamprecht (@MarkALamprecht) ~ “Do you know who I think I am?!”
Madlaw (@madlaw1071) ~ So, basically she excelled at failing upward.
Chris Bray (@a_chrisbray) ~ 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.
~€rin~ (@EchoErin1114) ~ Sean "Diddy" Combs was awarded an honorary doctorate. I'm not impressed.
Lippy McGirk (@Labradoofus) ~ Why didn't someone point out that her "accomplishments" have nothing to do with this confirmation hearing?
Obviously, they were all too busy being "impressed."
Fudgiewhale (@FudgiewhaleArt) ~ That's quite a CV. May I suggest a semester or two at a quality finishing school? Just needs a little polish. 🙄
John Patrick (@injunjohn86) ~ An honorary doctorate from a college that offers no post-graduate degrees. And she is going to claim it. What a damn joke.
Famous Economist Milton Keynes (@FamousMilton) ~ I'm actually surprised she doesn't demand people refer to her as Dr. Crockett in deference to her honorary degree.
Pissed Off Pops (@PissedPops) ~ 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.
@amuse (@amuse) ~ @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.
