Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suddenly attacked Crockett’s appearance during a hostile exchange of barbs on the committee floor, suggesting that Crockett’s “fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”The comments drew immediate outrage from Democratic reps including committee ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), who moved to strike Greene’s comments from the record. That motion ultimately failed, and Greene refused to apologize.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Screenshot/FS1Sports broadcaster and retired NBA star Paul Pierce had an on-air slip-up on Monday, which left many viewers wondering whether he’d just accidentally dropped the N-word on live television.At his regular taping of FS1’s Undisputed, Pierce appeared to stutter over the word while discussing Sunday’s New York Knicks loss to the Indiana Pacers with co-hosts Skip Bayless and Keyshawn Johnson. Pierce predicted that the Knicks were in for a dismal end to their season, arguing that the team’s players wouldn’t be able to keep up the momentum.
