Rep. Jasmine Crockett slammed Republicans for "selling out their constituents for billionaires" amid the House vote on Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."

"I'm here fighting for my district because Republicans are willing to sell out working and struggling folks in my district, and frankly, their's too to appease billionaires and big corporations," the House Democrat said.

Crockett pointed out how the 83 billionaires in this country are being overrepresented by lawmakers.

"We have 435 members in the House, and we have 100 members in the Senate. Yet somehow, 83 people in this country have more representation than the hundreds of thousands that are about to lose their healthcare as well as their SNAP benefits," the Texas lawmaker said.
Emphasis mine.
