Rhetorical style
Crockett has used alliteration in public speaking. In an Oversight Committee hearing on May 16, 2024, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene responded to a barb by Crockett: "I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading." Committee chairman James Comer ruled that this remark did not violate House protocol. To clarify the limits on personal comments, Crockett asked "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?"{{cite news |first1=Eric |last1=Garcia |first2=James |last2=Liddell |date=May 17, 2024 |title=Greene called 'bleach blonde bad-built butch body' in House screaming match where 'drinking was involved' |newspaper=The Independent |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-aoc-crockett-b2546986.html |access-date=August 26, 2024 |archive-date=August 26, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240826200959/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-aoc-crockett-b2546986.html |url-status=live }}{{cite news |first=Judy |last=Kurtz |date=May 21, 2024 |title=Crockett moves to trademark 'bleach blonde bad built butch body' |newspaper=The Hill |url=https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4677117-jasmine-crockett-trademark-bleach-blonde-bad-built-butch-body-marjorie-taylor-greene/ |access-date=August 26, 2024 |archive-date=August 26, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240826202503/https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/4677117-jasmine-crockett-trademark-bleach-blonde-bad-built-butch-body-marjorie-taylor-greene/ |url-status=live }} Comer responded with "... a what, now?" On August 19, 2024, the first night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, Crockett spoke about Republican nominee Donald Trump, and asked, "will a vindictive vile villain violate voters' vision?"{{cite news |first=David |last=Taffet |date=August 20, 2024 |title=Crockett lashes out against a vindictive vile villain violating voters' vision |newspaper=Dallas Voice |url=https://dallasvoice.com/crockett-lashes-out-against-a-vindictive-vile-villain-violating-voters-vision/ |access-date=August 26, 2024 |archive-date=August 25, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240825201853/https://dallasvoice.com/crockett-lashes-out-against-a-vindictive-vile-villain-violating-voters-vision/ |url-status=live }}
