Crockett blasts Gaetz' vote to oust McCarthy: 'We are on an absolute roller coaster" MSNBC (2 videos)



Rep. Jasmine Crockett joins Charles Coleman Jr., in for Ali Velshi, to discuss what influenced Democrats’ decision to agree to a last-minute spending deal to avert a government shutdown. “We didn’t come to [McCarthy’s] aid, we came to the American people’s,” Crockett says.

They also discuss the futility of Matt Gaetz filing a motion to vacate against Kevin McCarthy. “He likes the attention… If you’re gonna do it, do it. But he loses all of his leverage,” Crockett tells Coleman, pointing out that no other candidate has the votes in the Republican party. “We will go 'round and 'round and 'round, and I honestly don't know who would want to step up and deal with this Republican compilation of members at this point in time. Even if someone wanted to be speaker before, I think that they would think twice.”





Crockett warns House GOP pursuing Biden impeachment: ‘We will be clapping back’ - MSNBC



Rep. Jasmine Crockett speaks to Charles Coleman Jr., in for Ali Velshi, about the strategy behind her now-viral takedown of House Republicans at Biden’s first impeachment inquiry hearing this week.

“I’m not here to play games,” Crockett tells Coleman. “This was me calling them hypocrites without calling them hypocrites,” she says about her viral moment. “If they decide that they want to continue down this road, I need them to understand that we will be ready and we will be clapping back.”
