Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas took the MAGA Rep. to task after she went after a House Oversight Committee witness.

In a recent House Oversight Committee hearing, tensions ran high as Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett confronted Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert for her behavior towards witness Sally Katzen, a law professor from New York University.

The incident occurred as Boebert interjected and halted Katzen's response during discussions on government regulations.


Boebert even brought up the value of Katzen's house, which irked the witness. In response, Katzen asserted her personal connection to her home, prompting Boebert to question whether the situation constituted an "overreach."

You can watch what happened in the video below.

However, before Boebert could finish her line of inquiry Katzen retorted expressing her disagreement with the insinuations being made about her and suggesting Boebert had been "casting aspersions" on her.

Her words prompted Maryland Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, the committee's acting chair, to respect “civility and decorum" during the proceedings. Crockett, unimpressed with Boebert's conduct, took a stand against what she perceived as unnecessary and disrespectful interruptions.

Crockett then apologized to Katzen, saying Boebert’s line of questioning was “uncalled for."

She said:

"This committee runs my pressure up,."
"And I do come prepared to committee, and then there's always somebody from this side that does something ridiculous that throws me all the way off. So, oh Jesus."
"First of all, let me apologize because that was uncalled for. So let me do what [Boebert] would never do, which is to be an adult in this room or in this chamber."

She added:

"So let's start there... I'm also going to start with nonsense that she was trying to spew and unlike Ms. Boebert, I am legally trained and I've passed a few bar exams."

The exchange between Crockett and Boebert shed light on the differing approaches and attitudes within the committee.

While Boebert seemed inclined towards confrontational tactics and making provocative statements, Crockett emphasized the importance of maintaining respect and professionalism during such proceedings.

Many praised Crockett's response.







Crockett later addressed the incident via her official Twitter account, saying she'd had a "busy Wednesday."

She added:

"After becoming the first Black woman Democrat to play in the Congressional Baseball Game, I went viral for torching Lauren Boebert for her disrespectful nonsense."

You can see her post below.

This is the second time in two weeks that Crockett has made headlines for remarks during congressional hearings.

Earlier this month, she fearlessly addressed Republican hypocrisy and claims of voter fraud, refusing to be interrupted by Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene during a hearing about election integrity.

Crockett passionately called out GOP lawmakers and emphasized the need to focus on the real issues affecting democracy. With her unyielding stance, she highlighted instances of voter suppression and fraudulent activities, citing specific examples from Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Despite being cut off, Crockett expressed her determination to continue speaking out against voter suppression and false claims surrounding the 2020 election.

HGTV Stars Respond To Backlash From Christian Fans For Casting Same-Sex Couple In Their New Series

Back in 2016, home renovation and lifestyle power couple Joanna and Chip Gaines faced accusations of anti-LGBTQ+ bigotry. The criticism stemmed from their attendance at a Waco, Texas church that preached against LGBTQ+ equality and basic human rights.

At the time, the couple owned and operated Magnolia Homes, a remodeling and design business in Waco, Texas, and their HGTV program Fixer Upper was a hit. After the show ended in 2018, the couple created their own Magnolia Network in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery in 2020 to create original content and air other home and lifestyle programs.

On Saturday, one-time vehement Trump critic turned MAGA Republican convert Vice President JD Vance went on vacation to Disneyland in blue state California, despite Disney World in red state Florida being closer to Washington D.C. and in the middle of MAGA territory.

The administration of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump is currently engaged in a face-off with California over occupying forces sent by Trump to Los Angeles, which is about 50 miles from Anaheim where Disneyland is located, making Vance's choice even more questionable.

Joe Biden Calls Out 'Liar' Trump Over His Claims About Biden's Use Of Autopen For Pardons

Speaking to The New York Times, former President Joe Biden called President Donald Trump a "liar" over claims that Biden's pardons are "void" because they were done by autopen, a conspiracy theory heavily promoted by Republicans who've already suggested many times that Biden was not mentally fit while in office.

In the final hours of his presidency, Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons, including ones for his relatives, all members of the House committee that investigated the January 6 attack—such as former Congresswoman Liz Cheney—and several of Trump’s most prominent adversaries, including General Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci.
