What is she saying?
During a Tuesday hearing, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett argued that not bombing Iran would save Americans money. She also complained she hadn’t been consulted about the strike.
“Let me tell you, just dropping those few bombs in one day, that was the beginning of what is going to be a very long bill for us as they talk about being efficient, there was nothing efficient about doing it — maybe if there was some consultation, maybe with those that, say, have constitutional authority, since we care about the Constitution, then maybe we could have saved the American people not only money, but the lives that are now at risk as we have to put out warnings for American citizens in this country and abroad,” Crockett said.
“Maybe we need to start leading with the people at the middle of what it is that is guiding us instead of following one person,” she continued. “The reason that people like me say things like, ‘y’all are in a cult,’ is because somehow people are abdicating their duties and abdicating the very people that put them into office.”

In a similar nonsensical rant this week, Crockett also claimed that “I’m the one that’s supposed to make the f**kin’ decision” on bombing Iran.

This week, Crockett withdrew her bid to become the ranking member of the powerful House Oversight Committee after earning the fewest votes from her own party.
The role went to Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA).
