Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has a message for her Republican colleagues in the House of Representatives who voted this week to open a formal impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden: You’re going to regret that decision.
Appearing on MSNBC, Crockett told host Jonathan Capehart that she will be dragging failed former president Donald Trump’s crimes into the hearings and hinted that she may also go after Republicans who sit on the House Oversight Committee.
Capehart asked the Texas Democrat, “As a member of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, what role do you expect to play in this impeachment inquiry process?”
“Yes, absolutely,” Crockett replied. “We are going to be the truth-tellers. We are the ones who cut through the noise and make sure that the American people know that this is nothing more than political theater and games. We are also going to try to juxtapose what it would look like if we had the adults in the room who were running this committee.”
“We will make sure that we juxtapose what it looks like when this committee runs the way that it is supposed to as well as we will bringing out the hypocrisy which exists.”
Crockett then elaborated on how she will contrast Trump with Biden.
“We have Trump on one hand and Biden on the other. We have all of these insurrectionists, congresspersons, and then we’ve got Hunter Biden, you know. We will make sure that the American people and know that this is just not the tree that they want to bark up on.”
When the dust settles, don’t be surprised if the GOP impeachment gambit winds up backfiring on them in a major way and costs them the 2024 election. The only reason they’re doing it is to appease Trump, and that’s not likely to sit well with most voters.
