Every time I see her speak I just think to myself, “damn, her mama must be so proud.” 💓

Why are there so many empty seats? We pay millions of tax dollars for our representatives to be in those seats. If I don't show up for work, all the time, I'm fired. When was the last time they at passed a bill that actually meant something to the Americans?

[nicolemarie]

We are here to legislate, not campaign. Wonderfully spoken!!

[janmacdonald]

Congratulations to the people that elected Jasmine Crockett to represent them. She is bright, well spoken and refreshing.

How do you tell when you've hit a nerve? A person will start cussing.

She needs to run for President smart and on point.

[ritagreen]

This Congresswoman is one to watch, she is incredibly knowledgeable & well spoken & wants the best for America! How refreshing!!

I think the truth is better than lying. Because if you lie, you have to keep track of all of the lies you've told in order not to lie about the truth at some later point. It's kind of like a catch-22 situation whenever you can't remember this or that. It's because you're lying too much to remember what's really going on could be dimension setting in.

These senators need to do their job! We already have laws that are not being followed! Also, they need to fact-check their information!

We lost her in February 2021 and im so glad she doesn't have to experience what America is becoming however, I wish my Granny was here to witness Congressmen Crockett "standing up for The American People!!"

It always drives a point home when you quote RiRi. 😂

[annewinters]

She is the most amazing! All that passion and she never gets flustered. I would be stuttering and stammering! Saying what’s needed and saying it perfectly!
She is my hero!!! A freakin Rock Star ⭐️

[zoqqrow]

You go girl! Show those hypocrites how a “grown up” actually behaves in the house, and what voters put them in government to do.

[julibinger]
