Jasmine Crockett is trademarking her viral insult ‘Bleach blonde bad built butch body’.
According to USA Today last week’s insult-laden House committee hearing may soon be immortalized on a hoodie or pair of socks.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, filed a trademark application Sunday for rights to the phrase “BLEACH BLONDE BAD BUILT BUTCH BODY.”
Crockett hurled the alliterative insult seemingly at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., Thursday during a heated House Oversight Committee session.
Lawmakers were meeting to vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
Greene sparked the verbal back-and-forth with Crockett.
“I don’t think you know what you’re here for,” the Georgia Republican said.
“I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”
Later in the hearing, Crockett posed the question,
“I’m just curious … 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?”
Telling CNN Sunday she had just wanted clarification on violations of congressional protocol, the Texas lawmaker said she did not regret what she said.
And quickly after the exchange, Crockett began advertising “A Crockett Clapback Collection” on X, formerly Twitter.
“This collection will feature various swag that includes random things I’ve said,” Crockett wrote in a post Friday, also indicating that money from sales will go towards supporting House Democrats.
Crockett said the collection needs “a little time” before officially launching but that the “BLEACH BLONDE BAD BUILT BUTCH BODY” – featured on a black T-shirt in a photo attached to the post – will be up first.
Her recent trademark filing indicates Crockett plans to use the phrase for clothing, including hats, hoodies, socks, and T-shirts, as well as political consultancy. Josh Gerben, a trademark attorney of the law firm Gerben IP, discovered the filing and flagged it to USA TODAY
