Jasmine Crockett Says Trump May Be A ‘Piece Of S**t’ — But He’s Not The Only Problem
HuffPost
While her contempt for the president was clear, Crockett told Democrats why he's not the only threat to democracy.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) says President Donald Trump’s clear lack of character shouldn’t distract from those complicit in his corruption.
Speaking Sunday during MoveOn’s Won’t Back Down tour stop in Phoenix, the rising Democratic star called on her party to fight not just Trump but also his enablers in Congress and on the Supreme Court.
“Donald Trump is a piece of shit. OK, we know that,” Crockett said, earning thunderous cheers. “But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this.”
She pointed squarely at the conservative-majority Supreme Court, accusing the justices of enabling Trump’s abuses of power and urging swift action to crack down on their cozy ties to right-wing donors.
“We know that they’re taking money. We have the paper trail,” she said. “And they refuse to put guardrails on themselves, so it’s time for us to do it for them.”
