Rep. Jasmine Crockett Skewers Republican Hypocrites By Mocking Their Love Of Viagra

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) used a Thursday meeting of the House Oversight Committee to mock her Republican colleagues’ fondness for erectile dysfunction drug Viagra and also proved that it’s much more frivolous of a medication than mifepristone, which is used by millions of American women to terminate pregnancy.

According to HuffPost, Crockett was questioning FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert M. Califf.

Crockett asked … whether the “medical management of a miscarriage” could potentially be a “life-saving usage” before asking him about Viagra.

“Would you consider erectile dysfunction as a life-saving usage for Viagra?” Crockett asked.

“Not life-saving,” Dr. Califf answered.

“Not life-saving? OK. Well, I’m going to tell you that based on my research, that mifepristone actually has life-saving characteristics,” Crockett said.

The congresswoman then added, “Yet Viagra doesn’t, and for those that don’t know, Viagra, from my understanding, is actually nearly 10 times greater than as it relates to the risk of death. Yet, for some reason, it’s not sitting in the court right now.”

Noting that the FDA does exceptional work testing and approving drugs used by millions of Americans, Crockett ended her comments with this verbal salvo:

“After putting it through the wringer for decades, women’s lives have been saved, and as a representative from the area that Roe v. Wade actually initiated, I am appalled because, for whatever reason, some people want us to go back to horse and buggy in this country,”

A case before the United States Supreme Court, FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine, may lead to the banning of mifepristone by American women if the justices decide the Food and Drug Administration doesn’t have the power to approve the use of the drug. That ruling is expected by the end of June.

House Democrat Reveals How She Plans To Derail Biden Impeachment Hearings

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.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett Explains Why She Calls Republicans A**holes – And It’s Perfect

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is making it clear that she’s convinced the vast majority of Republicans in Congress are complete jerks and need to be voted out of office in the 2024 election.

Why? Because they’re assholes.

Crockett was a guest Monday on “The Breakfast Club” radio show, and she was asked by host Charlamagne tha God why she had referred to members of the GOP as “assholes,” HuffPost reports.

“Cause they are, what do you mean?” Crockett replied with a laugh.

What specifically led Crockett to that conclusion?

The congresswoman noted that she sits on the House Oversight Committee and has to put up with some of the very worst Republicans have to offer.

“This is where the impeachment inquiry is, and it’s insulting that we have idiots like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Jim Jordan. You just name all of the nonsense Republicans, and they sit on this committee, and they sit there so high and mighty. And they talk noise constantly, and they’re like, ‘Oh, the Biden crime family.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m sorry. Have you met the Trumps?’”

Crockett added: “Like, who is it that’s in court like every day or every other day with something, whether it’s the fraudulent businesses that he’s run or whether it’s his criminal issues on the state level, on the federal level. And you’re trying to make something out of nothing? Is this what we’re doing?”

When Charlamagne brought up that the son of President Joe Biden, Hunter, had just been indicted on tax charges, Crockett countered that the current president’s son isn’t serving in the administration the way Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump did while Donald Trump was in the White House.

The Republican-led impeachment inquiry being launched by House Republicans is nothing but payback for the two impeachments of Trump, both of which were based on evidence and facts.

Republicans aren’t just assholes. They’re also spiteful clowns who don’t have enough self-awareness to realize they’re in a cult of personality and on the verge of destroying their party just so they can curry favor with one man.

WATCH A House Democrat Obliterate Lauren Boebert For ‘Trying To Spew’ Lies

During a hearing of the House Oversight Committee today, Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) got her head handed to her by freshman Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), and video of the confrontation is quickly going viral on social media.

The hearing was on government regulation, which Boebert to tell witness Sally Katzen, a law professor, “It may not be a $2.5 million home like yours, but that sounds like a lot of red tape to me.”

“Excuse me, I really take that as a personal [attack],” Katzen remarked. “My home!”

“Do you disagree that this was an overreach?” Boebert asked.

Katzen: “I disagree that you’re casting aspersions on me.”

When it was Crockett’s turn to question Katzen, she apologized for Boebert’s being a horse’s ass:

“This committee runs my pressure up,” Crockett began. “And I do come prepared to committee, and then there’s always somebody from this side that does something ridiculous that throws me all the way off. So, oh Jesus.”

“First of all, let me apologize because that was uncalled for,” she added. “So let me do what she would never do, which is to be an adult in this room or in this chamber.”

Crockett also noted that it was clear all Boebert wanted to do was “spew nonsense” about regulations.

WATCH A Freshman Democrat Expose The GOP’s Hypocrisy On The Issue Of Crime

Freshman Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett of Texas trolled Republicans on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee to their faces Tuesday during a hearing on the issue of crime in Washington, D.C., and video of her comments has gone viral on social media.

After election denier Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) had finished a rant about the rising number of crimes in the District, Crockett got her turn to speak, and she immediately went after two of the biggest crooks in the GOP: Failed former president Donald Trump and Rep. George Santos (R-NY).

“I’m so excited that my colleagues across the aisle care about sexual abuse considering that the front-runner right now for the presidency has just been found liable of sexual abuse.”

Crockett added, “So, I’m excited because this may mean that, finally, some folk will back off from supporting him because we don’t support sexual abusers in this chamber. So, I’m happy about this.”

Then came Santos’ turn.

“My Republican colleagues want to talk about keeping the streets of D.C. crime-free” but they “can’t even keep the halls of Congress crime-free.”

Crockett was just warming up, making it clear who she was referring to.

“My freshman colleague has just been indicted on 13 felony counts. But have they exhibited any courage to say, ‘You know what, we will not allow this in our body. We will disallow this in our body. We will make sure that we expel this individual?’”

“They have not. So, what I don’t want to hear is that they care about crime because if they did they would start by cleaning up our own house and mind our own business instead of coming after D.C.”

Republicans holding hearings on crime is almost as hypocritical as GOPers trying to lecture the country on family values.
