Related: About this forum"They're More Outraged by Language Than the Execution of a Mother" Rep. Jasmine Crockett - Rep. Jasmine Crockett
In this Committee hearing, Rep. Jasmine Crockett refuses to let Congress hide behind decorum while ignoring injustice.
A mother is dead. The facts are unresolved. Accountability has not happened. And instead of demanding answers, too many members are more concerned with policing language than confronting what occurred.
Crockett calls out the silence, the hypocrisy, and the misplaced outrage. She speaks from lived experience as a former criminal defense attorney, a civil rights advocate, and a lawmaker who believes no badge places anyone above the law.
This is not about partisanship. Its about courage. Its about humanity. And its about whether Congress will stand up for the people it claims to represent. - 01/08/2026.
