Jasmine Crockett Calls Trump ‘a Piece of Sh*t’ in Blistering Rant

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) slammed President Donald Trump as “a piece of shit” — as part of a larger rant about what she believes to be a lack of guardrails around him.

Speaking at an event in Phoenix hosted by progressive political action group MoveOn, the Texas congresswoman got big applause from the crowd when she dropped a four-letter word blasting the president

“Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit, OK?” Crockett said — to cheers. “We know that. Yes, yes! He is, he is! But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this.”

Most of Crockett’s criticism was reserved for the Supreme Court — which she considers “complicit” in allowing the president free rein.

“He’s been able to away with this because the House Republicans are complicit,” Crockett said. “He’s been to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts — especially the Supreme Court — is complicit! … They are the highest court in the land and they have no ethics guardrails. Now you go down to the lower courts, and they do. How much sense does that make? Well, we know that they’re taking money. We have the paper trail. And they refuse to put guardrails on themselves. So it’s time for us to do it for them.”

Another body she sees as being complicit in helping Trump is the Texas state legislature. The congresswoman has been a vocal critic of proposed redistricting in Texas which could help Republicans gain as many as five seats in the House next term. Crockett has said the new map would draw her out of her district.

Crockett came under criticism last week for trying to shut down a profile piece about her from The Atlantic after she learned the reporter was calling her colleagues for comment — something that is standard practice.
