In a fiery House Judiciary markup, Rep. Jasmine Crockett dismantles the gap between Republican talking points and Republican reality — using the GOP’s own data to do it.
Crockett reveals that immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest share of ICE detention, yet Republicans still insist they’re “getting the bad guys out.” She contrasts the facts with the rhetoric and exposes what she calls a deliberately misleading narrative.
She then turns to the sudden GOP fascination with the Epstein files — despite months of Republican efforts to avoid the topic and shut down Congress over it. Crockett highlights the selective outrage that conveniently appears only when it’s politically useful.
But the heart of her argument lands on affordability. While millions of Americans are surviving on just $6 a day in SNAP benefits, the same lawmakers preaching “fiscal responsibility” somehow found $40 billion overnight to send overseas.
Crockett lays out why voters are noticing the contradiction — and how it helps explain the results of the last election.
