Jasmine Crockett Uses Rihanna To Slam Republicans In Scathing Takedown
HuffPost
The Texas Democrat gave a shoutout to the pop icon as she took aim at the GOP's "performative politics" in a wicked rant.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) name-dropped Rihanna as she jokingly applauded Republicans for putting on quite a show at a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday.
The Texas Democrat, at a hearing on immigration, called out GOP lawmakers for not doing the “basic job” they’re supposed to do and cited the looming government shutdown before her RiRi reference.
“They can’t figure out how to do a budget ’cause we’re six months behind but somehow, they are going to solve this complex issue of immigration – I seriously doubt it,” she said.
“And to quote a great known as RiRi, also known as Rihanna, how ‘bout we give ‘a round of applause, a standing ovation’ – because we have absolutely had nothing more than performative politics.”
The House Democrat, earlier in her remarks, pointed to the recent drowning deaths of three migrants – a woman and two children from Mexico – near the U.S.-Mexico border.
