Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is sick and tired of Republican politicians in the Lone Star state who continue to pass restrictive anti-abortion laws and then refuse to explain why they’re so obsessed with controlling women’s bodies.
Crockett teed off on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during an appearance on “All In With Chris Hayes” Friday evening, noting that he’s a politician and not a doctor.
She added, “I don’t want them to be my elected officials.”
Host Chris Hayes referenced the most recent case of preventable death in Texas: Nevaeh Crain, a teen who died when doctors delayed treating them after they miscarried, playing a clip of Cruz being asked about why he doesn’t support exceptions to the state’s draconian anti-abortion law.
“Why is this an issue you won’t address, about saying whether you support or oppose exceptions like rape and incest?” asked debate moderator Jason Whitely.
“Jason, I’m curious, why do you keep asking me that?” Cruz replied.
Crockett said this about Cruz’s refusal to answer a direct question: “When you can’t answer a question, that is the answer, right? And the idea that we should just trust you, we shouldn’t trust you. Not when people are dying. You guys are not going to save us. You are going to, again, inflict more pain.”
