Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn't hold back after 'The Breakfast Club' podcast host Charlamagne tha God asked her why she'd previously called Republicans 'a**holes.'

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett did not hold back with her criticism of several GOP figures during an interview on The Breakfast Club podcast, slamming what she referred to as “nonsense Republicans.”

In a candid conversation with host Charlamagne tha God, Crockett reiterated her previous labeling of Republicans as “a**holes,” standing by her statement with a laugh.


She pointed to the House Oversight Committee, where she serves, as a center for contentious drama, singling out members like Georgia's Marjorie Taylor Greene, Colorado's Lauren Boebert, Arizona's Paul Gosar, and Ohio's Jim Jordan as part of the Republican contingent she deems problematic.

Highlighting the irony of their posturing, Crockett expressed disdain for their frequent loud rhetoric, particularly their accusations against the Biden administration.

Crockett said:

“Cause they are [a**holes], what do you mean?"
“This is where the impeachment inquiry is, and it’s insulting that we have idiots like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Jim Jordan. You just name all of the nonsense Republicans, and they sit on this committee, and they sit there so high and mighty."
"And they talk noise constantly, and they’re like, ‘Oh, the Biden crime family.’ And I’m like, ‘I’m sorry. Have you met the Trumps?'"
“Like, who is it that’s in court like every day or every other day with something, whether it’s the fraudulent businesses that he’s run or whether it’s his criminal issues on the state level, on the federal level. And you’re trying to make something out of nothing? Is this what we’re doing?”

Charlamagne brought up Hunter Biden's recent indictment on tax and firearms charges, prompting Crockett, a former criminal defense attorney, to differentiate between Hunter Biden's legal situation and the elevated roles held by members of the Trump family within the White House during Trump's term.

Addressing the discrepancy in the treatment of political figures, Crockett emphasized that many parents "would be in jail" if they were judged by the same standard that Republicans aim to apply to President Biden.

Many concurred with her remarks.

Crockett previously made headlines for fearlessly addressing Republican hypocrisy and claims of voter fraud, calling out GOP lawmakers and emphasizing the need to focus on the real issues affecting democracy.

She went viral after she observed that "we haven’t had half as many hearings about guns as we’ve had on voting rights, and every time we seemingly have a hearing on voting rights, we’re talking about the fact that people are cheating, so let’s talk about who’s cheating."

She also earned plaudits for her response to Boebert during a House Oversight Committee hearing after Boebert antagonized a New York University law professor while discussing government regulations.

Crockett apologized to the witness, saying "let me do what [Boebert] would never do, which is to be an adult in this room or in this chamber."

Trump Just Gave A Bonkers Excuse For Why He Shared An AI Image Of Himself As Jesus—And Nobody's Buying It

After Pope Leo XVI criticized President Donald Trump's war with Iran, Trump called him "weak" in a post on Truth Social, credited himself for Leo's selection as pope, and even went so far as to post an AI-generated image of himself as Jesus Christ.

Last week, the Pope called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."

NASA Chief Responds To 10-Year-Old's Adorable Letter Asking For Pluto To Be Reclassified As A Planet

Those of us who were in school prior to 2006 would be able to recite an acronym or saying that lists the order of the planets in our solar system, such as "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Peaches".

That old saying officially became outdated in 2006, when the final planet in that saying, Pluto, was officially declassified by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and was thus no longer considered a planet.

MAGA Melts Down After 'Woke' Pope Leo Urges The World To 'Search Always For Peace'

MAGA followers were not happy with Pope Leo XIV and accused him of being "woke" after he, in remarks to reporters, implored "people of good will" to "search always for peace."

The Pope spoke out after President Donald Trump insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.
