Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) didn’t mince words about President Donald Trump during a progressive rally on Sunday.
Speaking at the Phoenix stop of MoveOn’s “Won’t Back Down Tour,” the outspoken congresswoman urged Democrats to go on offense against the administration — and didn’t hold back in her language.
“Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of s—. OK, we know that,” she said, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.
“But what are we going to need to do then?” she asked. “For me, it’s getting aggressive.”
“Now listen, I’m not going to say that’s what we’re going to do, but I’m telling y’all what my vision’s [going to] be,” she continued, pointing to limiting the Supreme Court, which she called “corrupt.”
“We need to have some real guardrails around this Supreme Court because the Supreme Court has paved the way for half the stuff that we see that’s going on.”
Crockett doubled down on the expletive aimed at Trump but argued that it’s Congress and the Supreme Court that need to be reined in, claiming they’re the institutions enabling him to carry out his agenda.
“But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit,” she said.
She added that the court has “no ethics guardrail,” while lower courts do.
“How much sense does that make when we know that they’re taking money – we have the paper trail – and they refuse to put guardrails on themselves?” she asked.
