Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went off on Republicans during the House GOP-led impeachment hearing on Thursday over their lack of outrage for Donald Trump hiding classified documents in his bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.

We need to get back to the people’s work, which means keeping this government open so that people don’t go hungry in the streets of the United States.”
