Firebrand Dem Torches Trump and Musk in Blistering Hearing Screed — ‘Castration’ Was Mentioned

Firebrand congresswoman Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) torched Elon Musk, President Donald Trump, and her GOP colleagues in a blistering takedown during which she even mentioned castration at a hearing on Wednesday.

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing Wednesday on government efficiency and waste, with Gov. Kim Reynolds (R-IA) serving as the key witness in the hearing’s second session.

Rep. Crockett used her time questioning Reynolds to attack Trump and Republicans for trying to play “heroes” on spending by turning Musk loose — but pointing out it was Trump who exploded the debt in his first term.

Crockett also accused Republicans of “castrating” their constitutional duty and appointing Musk and Trump “king and his queen — and y’all can pick which one is which”:

REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: It’s the faux outrage for me. It’s as faux as faux news that I’m hearing because somehow you guys and when I say you guys, I am referring to my Republican colleagues pretend as if you are the heroes of the story.

But let me remind you who set the house on fire. It was y’all. So let me go ahead and handle these receipts, because I know that I always have to have proof, even though I guess our education system is failing us because it seems like facts don’t seem to faze people that vote for y’all.

But I’m going to do it anyway. So when we talk about debt, I’d ask for unanimous consent to enter into a record this article that says “Donald Trump built a national debt so big even before the pandemic that it’ll weigh down the economy for years.”

CHAIRMAN JAMES COMER: Without objection, so ordered.

REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: Thank you so much. In fact, it talked about the fact that he ran up our debt almost $8 trillion. It was estimated to be 7.8 trillion at that time.

And that this is one of the it’s actually the third biggest increase ever under any presidential administration.

So I don’t understand how y’all gonna play to heroes.

…

Here is the deal. I want the American people to understand that Democrats are not against efficiency. In fact, the last time that this country actually ran, to the extent that there was a balanced budget and actually there was a surplus, it was a Democrat in the White House. His name was President Clinton. So we are not against this.

What we are against is this idea that we will evade the Constitution or we will evade our own constitutional–. In fact, it’s not even an evasion at this point.

It feels as if y’all have just decided that y’all are going to castrate your constitutional duty and hand it over to someone who is unelected. It doesn’t matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him, that doesn’t mean that he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies. And the fact that we had a vote today and we asked to bring him in because we have a constitutional duty.

We all took our oath. And maybe some of your just don’t take you seriously. But I take it seriously when I take an oath to do a job. And my job is to look out and make sure that we don’t have any kings or queens in this country.

But it seems like y’all have decided that is going to be Mr. King and his queen — and y’all can pick which one is which.
