Listen, the word "politician" used to feel so dirty. Politicians are gross, right? Yeah, many are. But you know what? Most of the overtly gross and polluted and corrupt ones are men. And in this new age of young progressives, apart from Kamala Harris, there might not be another female politician that I stan more than Jasmine Crockett. She is an accomplished, sassy AF attorney (and a pastor's kid) and she takes zero shit from morons like Marjorie Taylor Greene. So here's a compilation of some of Ms. Crockett's best quotes:
It’s been a long day… but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino….this is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally and berate an actual brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?! Let me say this to the WORLD, I am sorry that the bright light America used to be is dimming.
She's SO bold:
"This is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the f**k up because I'm ready to get on with it."
Speaking actual truth to power:
"Trump and Vance are an EMBARRASSMENT and DISGRACE."
And my personal favorite:
When attorney Joe Gallina asked Crockett what she would say to Trump if she had the opportunity, the Texas Democrat responded, “I would tell him to grow a spine and stop being Putin’s ho.”
She continued, “That’s all we got right now, is Putin’s little ho that is out here really doing the bidding of Russia in a way we’ve never seen an American president do.”
There's so many more. She could have a coffee table book of clapbacks and slams and I'd be the first to buy it. This is not a time for us who care about Democracy, decency, freedom and equality to be quiet. Pipe up and speak out! If Jasmine can do it in the House of Representatives about the FOTUS (felon of the US), you can do it to your racist Aunt Tilly...because no, at this point, we can't all "just get along". And if you don't see that, you aren't paying attention.
