Rep. Jasmine Crockett says Democrats must show more fight

“You’ve just got to be honest and you’ve got to be blunt,” Crockett said during a recording for Sunday’s edition of Lone Star Politics, a show produced by KXAS (NBC 5) and The Dallas Morning News. “The old way of doing politics has always been to find the perfect way to say it, and to make sure that you say it diplomatically. The reality is that we’re dealing with an administration that is lawless and disrespectful.”


“We have to be comfortable with being rightfully outraged in this moment, and I think that there are so many that are not OK with being rightfully outraged, because we are the representatives, and so we are supposed to carry ourselves in a different way,” Crockett said. “I won’t necessarily disagree with that, but what I will say is that it is hard for people to believe you, if they feel like you can’t feel them. And I think that what they get from me is that they always feel like, Oh, ‘she understands and she feels our pain.’”


During the segment, Crockett also discussed ways for Democrats to win back working Americans.

“We need to show that we have always been the party that will fight for what’s right for all people,” Crockett said.

“Working class people may have went to the wrong side, the dark side,” she added. “These were people that were completely unaware of the policies that we have been fighting for, because Democrats love to keep our heads down and just do the work.”

Rep. Crockett gets it. More Democrats should follow her lead.
