The moment that won over most of Black America came during this committee meeting. When Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene took a jab at Crockett’s appearance, Crockett gave her a one-two knockout with her unexpected clapback. What an epic moment!

Whew! Tensions ran high during a House Oversight Committee meeting. Crockett didn’t hold back, shutting down the guest speaker mid-sentence and calling out Republicans who were secretly siding with Project 2025 while bashing the Biden Administration.

“Y’all Don’t Know What White Privilege Looks Like!”

Speaking on white privilege? Not on Crockett’s watch. In this clip, Crockett blasts the “Gentle Lady,” who claimed there’s a separation within the committee. Crockett set her straight, claiming Republicans continuously lie to protect their party’s image and interests while exercising their white privilege.

“F-ck Off”

Standing on the steps of Capitol Hill after a budget meeting, Crockett gave a brief interview with a reporter. “If you could speak directly to Elon Musk, what would you say?” they asked.” “F**k off,” Crockett replied without hesitation– before emphasizing that Democrats must continue to unite and stand firm for the American people.

Crockett Weighs In On Elon Musk

@repjasmine

One set of rules for the rich, another for the rest of us. Nah, we’re not letting that slide. #ElonMusk #Accountability #billionaires #jasminecrockett

♬ original sound – Jasmine Crockett

“I don’t like Elon Musk. I’m going to say it 50 thousand times,” Crockett stated in a meeting. In this clip, the Texas Representative laid out her grievances, calling out Musk for using his wealth to claim privileges far beyond those of actual government officials.

“Learn How To Read”

It is no secret that Crockett and Georgia State Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene aren’t exactly bosom buddies. In this now-viral clip, a reporter placed a photo of Greene next to Crockett and asked, “If you could speak directly to Marjorie Taylor Greene, what would you say?”. In her most pettiest way, she responds, “I would tell her maybe to watch PBS and learn how to read.” The jab was a clear dig at Greene’s failure to read the Big Beautiful Bill before voting in favor of it.

Crockett Shuts Down Impeachment Charges

Crockett ensured that her voice rang loud and clear in defense of former President Biden when the House of Representatives moved to bring impeachment charges. In this highlight clip, Crockett served up straight facts — no chaser — calling out the unfairness Biden and the Democrats face in the chamber.

Crockett on Trump’s Golf Spending

@repjasmine

$26 MILLION on GOLF?! Don’t talk to me about efficiency while y’all play games #trumpgolfscandal #golfing #gophypocrisy #jasminecrockett #congress

♬ original sound – Jasmine Crockett

Did you hear that Trump racked up $26 million on his golf outings? Crockett was not too thrilled, and she made sure everyone in the room knew it.

“Trump or Trans?”

In a shady yet hilarious moment, the Texas Representative proposed to play a game called “Trump or Trans?” — a creative callout that cleverly exposed who was truly responsible for undermining public policy: President Trump or the trans community.
