Rep. Crockett: Trump Is A “Piece Of Sh*t,” He Would Not Be Able To Get Away With This In A Functioning Democracy
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) had some strong words for President Donald Trump at MoveOn’s “Won’t Back Down” event in Phoenix on Sunday. Crockett said the judicial branch, particularly the Supreme Court, has “no ethics guardrails,” and it is time for Democrats to apply them.
REP. JASMINE CROCKETT (D-TX): Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit. Okay, we know that. Yes, yes, he is. He is. He is. But, in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this. But he’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been able to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But, most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit. And so, I think one of the places that we have to start is we are absolutely, they are the highest court in the land and they have no ethics guardrails. Now, you go down to the lower courts and they do. How much sense does that make? Well, we know that they’re taking money, we have the paper trail, and they refuse to put guardrails on themselves. So, it’s time for us to do it for them.
