Jasmine Crockett Tears Apart GOP's 'Absolute BS' Using 1 Simple Game
HuffPost
Crockett thanked the Democrats' witness for understanding "the assignment" as the congresswoman quizzed her on the GOP moves.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Tuesday slammed Republicans for wanting to take a “victory lap celebrating the pain of their constituents” via a push to codify cuts put forward by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Crockett — in remarks at a DOGE subcommittee hearing — played a game with the House Democrats’ witness Emily DiVito, senior advisor for economic policy at the progressive Groundwork Collaborative. Crockett asked DiVito if a series of GOP-backed moves were “harmful or hurtful” to Americans.
“Stripping health care away from 16 million people?” she asked of those estimated to lose health coverage under President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
“I would say ‘harmful,’” DiVito answered.
“Laying off hundreds of thousands of federal workers?” Crockett asked.
