Animal house is the perfect description!!!! Such a good speaker!

[dreamslammer]

I think Jasmine Crockett is a rock star ❤ Thank you Ms. Crockett for having the small person's back!

We need more in government like Rep. Crockett. She speaks out against the lies and misinformation and she has receipts to back it up.

[valenciaphillips]

She never disappoints and y’all should have her on more. 👍🏽

[brettcomstock]

I love her. I love the way she thinks. Like a lawyer; step-by-step. Applying logic and reason…. She’s awesome.

It's so refreshing to see a strong, intelligent and dare I say beautiful woman, putting these hateful cowards in their place. Keep it up Rep. Crockett! You're doing great work we are so thankful for.

Rep. Jasmine is top shelf awesomeness!!! Brilliant, bold, intelligence, and humor. She should be the poster girl for how a gov official gets it done! 100%

[abdurashidwampamba]

I came specifically to comment how Jasmine is a future nugget for the party, I'm glad most people here agree

[skyrocketcoast]

Representative Crockett is one of the very best!!

Just so everyone knows, Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas is very intelligent and works very hard for the people of Texas. She is new to me, but I have been taking interest in her work and have seen so much she has done for the PEOPLE of Texas. She is about WORKING (doing her job) and not sitting back doing nothing slinging accusations. She bases her work on FACTS and not hearsay. I expect she will go a long way. I'm happy I learned about her because I am a Texan too. I am neither Democrat nor Republican. I just want Representatives in government working for THE PEOPLE and not for themselves.

Ms. Crockett really tells it how it is! Glad to have her on the oversight committee but it must be so frustrating for her to deal with GOP whackadoodles all day.

[suemccord]

She is absolutely correct. Exactly what we need. We've got a few now that are standing up and speaking out🎉 Thank You ❤

[jayelove]

Finally a breath of fresh air, with impeccable intelligence and beauty is Miss Jasmine Crockett....so articulate....she's has more courage than all the GOP put together!!! I love Jasmine!! 🥰💜🙏🙌

I’m such a fan of rep Crockett. In the next ten years, our House and Senate are gonna look so different… filled with young people who will work for us, not against us.

Kevin McCarthy said on 01. 07. 2020 “I’ve had it with this guy, ” What Trump did on Jan. 6 “is unacceptable” and “nobody can defend that, nobody should defend it, ” he said.
