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).
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.
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.
