Democrats need youth ambassadors, and Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett understands that well. Still young and telegenic with a TikTok-friendly style, but with an 18 year legal career behind her and a great back story. I hope she can handle the spotlight. We need an army like her.

On Monday’s episode of “The Breakfast Club” radio show. Host Charlamagne tha God asked Crockett why she’d previously called Republicans “assholes.”
“Cause they are, what do you mean?” the lawmaker replied, laughing. When Charlamagne asked what had triggered the description, Crockett explained that “all the drama” is on the House Oversight Committee, on which she sits.
“This is where the impeachment inquiry is, and it’s insulting that we have idiots like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Jim Jordan,” Crockett continued. “You just name all of the nonsense Republicans, and they sit on this committee, and they sit there so high and mighty. And they talk noise constantly.
They’re like, ‘Oh, the Biden crime family.’ And I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m sorry. Have you met the Trumps? Who is it that’s in court like every day or every other day with something, whether it’s the fraudulent businesses that he’s run or it’s his criminal issues on the state level, on the federal level, on every level. And you’re here trying to make something out of nothing? That's what this is?"
Charlamagne reminded Crockett that Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, was indicted last week on nine tax charges in addition to a gun charge he already faces.
Crockett, a former criminal defense attorney, argued that Hunter Biden hadn’t been catapulted into a White House position, unlike former President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner. The congresswoman also suggested that, from her time practicing law, a lot of parents “would be in jail” for what their children have done if they were held to the same standard as the president is being by Republicans.
