At a recent House Oversight Committee hearing, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas launched into a racially charged rant about redistricting in her home state. As a result of the 2020 Census, Texas gained two seats in the House of Representatives, leading to a re-drawing of the state’s congressional districts.
Crockett began her tirade by asking Census Bureau Director Robert L. Santos if he knew the racial composition of the increase in Texas’ population. She stated, “I want to make sure that we — we really get to the nitty-gritty on Texas, because this is — this is hilarious to me.” Crockett went on to claim that there was a significant undercount in Texas due to a combination of reasons.
She then revealed that only 180,000 of the 4 million people added to Texas’ population were Anglos, or white people. According to Crockett, this amounted to only 95 percent of the people added, with minority populations being undercounted. She continued, “Somehow the way that they do their Republican math in the state of Texas, that amounted to 2 new white seats. Guess what? White Republican seats.”
It is worth noting that former President Donald Trump gained support among Hispanic and black voters in the 2020 election, largely due to his policies on the economy and immigration. Despite this, Crockett is insistent that white Republicans are manipulating the system in Texas to maintain their power.
This is not the first time Crockett has gone off the rails during a congressional hearing. In a previous hearing, she claimed that black people were “stolen” and “didn’t ask” to be in the United States. During another hearing, Crockett claimed that a Republican witness was afraid to listen to a “qualified black woman” like Vice President Kamala Harris.
It seems that Crockett has a habit of making inflammatory remarks, especially when it comes to issues of race. While redistricting is a sensitive and important issue, her rant about “Republican math” and “white seats” in Texas does little to further the discussion in a productive manner.
As tensions continue to rise in Congress, it is important for elected officials like Crockett to approach discussions with respect and civility. Instead of launching into unhinged rants, they should focus on finding solutions and working towards a more united country.
Maybe the 95% voted not to elect liberal racist loons like you.
This is why there should be a mentality test before swearing them in She has an agenda She gives these figures but where is her proof All she is doing is spouting out numbers with nothing stating anything she is alleging She is trying to get this man to say that the census lied If Crockett had any idea what she was talking about she would know that id anything they would over count to receive more government funds The bottom is this woman is an idiot and she wants to bring race into it She doesn’t want the illegals out to add to the population so that even more seats can be added but that is not going to happen these people are taking away the needs our our citizens I would say Crockett is in the same type of Congresswoman as AOC You are not serving your constituents by using numbers of people that do not belong here and they are a drain on our system We are using tax dollars and a lot of them to support these illegals These people are not migrants They are invaders Send them to China Russia North Korea Iran We need to get us out of the hole that Biden and Harris have put us in I read a report today that stated that even President Trump will be able to save the country stocks falling by 50% and home values will lose 50% So we are going to be having soup lines No it has been a nice paid vacation for all of them and all on the taxpayers So Crockett needs someone to help her understand however we all understand that you can’t fix stupid
This woman is so racially insane that she is scary.
This lying bigot is one reason our people’s house is a house of reprehensibles.
She is the epitome of what a Racist looks and acts like.
She is a Loud mouth, fat, ugly, Black b**ch with an over inflated ego.
Sure would be nice if dumba$$ meth heads would stop being elected and put on the Supreme Court (can’t say what a woman is Brown). Where do all these freakin’ morons and the imbeciles that vote for them come from? China?
