Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) strutted into CNN on Monday like she was ready for a showdown, saying Democrats need to “go after” President Donald Trump “for the good of the entirety of the country.”
This all started after Trump threw some classic shade during his Sunday sit-down on Meet the Press. Talking about the Democratic mess, he said, “They’ve got this new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She’s definitely a low IQ person. They said she’s the future of the party. I said, you’ve got to be kidding.” Honestly, not his most diplomatic moment—but tell me where the lie is.
Crockett, clearly rattled, fired back on CNN. She declared, “The fact that you just got done engaging in a conversation where we have a President of the United States who has no idea about the oath that he just took on January 20th, tells me everything that I need know. He didn’t even have good sense enough in that same interview to say something as simple as, yes, I will follow the Constitution.”
Even CNN’s Jake Tapper tried to toss her a softball: “Do you think you’re the future of the Democratic Party?” Instead of answering directly, Crockett dodged like she was in gym class, saying we need people “unafraid and willing to go after this administration.”
She wrapped up, “I want to make sure that we are shining a light on all the darkness that they are bringing to our country.” Okay, but the lights have been on, and it’s the Democrats who’ve been flipping the switch back to off!
