It was quite contentious in the House of Representatives last week. Discussions about fake eyelashes, “bleach blonde” hair, and (supposedly) homophobic slurs were part of the heated exchange between Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) that received much of the country’s scrutiny and attention. Yet before that chaos ensued, a black Democratic congresswoman made a bigoted statement in the House that also went unchecked and uncriticized.

If Democrats didn’t have double standards, they would have none at all.
