A quick post as I’m going through audio for my SiriusXM show and just watched this brilliant clip I’ll be playing today. It’s an example of how Democrats need to slice and dice Republicans, courtesy of Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.
Marjorie Taylor Greene led a hearing on “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” yesterday.
It did not go well.
Democrats showed her to be the fool that she is by focusing on how this non-issue isn’t something anyone is talking about in a world of out-of-control tariffs, potential cuts to Medicaid and Social Security, and Donald Trump sending people who committed no crimes to torture prisons in El Salvador.
But Crockett won the day. She’s become a superstar among Democrats because she is able to very succinctly expose the ludicrousness of the GOP in clever ways. She also makes you laugh, and had me doing so the first time she came on my SiriusXM program.
“I want to play a game. It’s called Trump or Trans. You ready?” she asked Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, during Graves’ testimony. “I’m gonna ask you a question and you’re gonna tell whether it is Trump or trans people that are responsible. You understand?“
Graves said, “yes.’ Then Crockett proceeded.
The first one: Gutted medical research. Trump or trans?
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Kidnapping American citizens and sending them to foreign countries, aka “deporting” them.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Driving us into a recession.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Increasing the cost of everything.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Waging an idiotic tariff war.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Harming farmers.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Ignoring the Constitution.
Graves: Trump
Crockett: Proposing to take away Social Security.
Graves: Trump
Crockett; Cutting health care.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Firing government workers who keep our country safe.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett: Encouraging an environment of hate and divisiveness.
Graves: Trump.
Crockett then went on to highlight the fraud of Trump’s supposed war on waste, fraud and abuse, with a graphic behind her a life size Trump playing golf.
It was an amazing, fun take down, done so expertly.
