Rep Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went on a TDS rant in a hysterical congressional meltdown, critiquing the president for the economy. When the clip went viral, conservatives jumped to defend the president and mock Crockett for her theatrical screed.
For context, Rep. Jasime Crockett is a newly minted congresswoman from Texas who has made the headlines for wild proclamations and generally poor behavior. Her past transgressions include threatening to fight a fellow representative, calling for violence against Elon Musk, and making a fool of herself at every opportunity.
Taking to social media on May 1, 2025, the far-left Democrat posted a clip of herself freaking out in a congressional hearing. Crockett stated, “The facts are the facts: their proposed budget is not going to make life easier for 99% of us. I can’t WAIT until the day that Republicans decide to show up and work for the people who elected them,” the caption under her post read.
Beginning her over-the-top rant, Crockett hysterically slammed Trump’s tariffs. The woke rep said, “Then we are in a crisis, and they are pretending that the solution is going to be cutting everything, that those of us that make this country actually go is the solution right now. We’re cutting jobs as it relates to the federal government right now because of the failed policies around tariffs.”
Cynically pretending to care about working-class Americans, she added, “We know that we are looking at losing plants. They said that was going to bring plants. They just announced that we had two auto dealers that were going to shut down approximately 40,000 jobs, as they then go after NIH.”
Still not done, Crockett pivoted to Trump’s approval rating. The Democrat ranted, “We know that in the state of Alabama, the largest employer in the state of Alabama is the University of Alabama. They are looking at losing jobs because they won’t have research dollars. The only thing that they are doing is hurting us. It is the reason, if we are going to talk about numbers and mandates, it is the reason that the only person in recent modern times to have the lowest approval ratings at their 100-day mark is the same person the first time they were in.”
Whining about the economy, Jasime Crockett continued to attack the president. She stated, “And now this time, it is time for us to get serious and talk about what will grow our economy, what will bring more money in, what will make sure that people can move up from working poor to middle class and maybe even reach this higher level that so many of y’all listen to, this upper echelon, this rich level, because that is what is supposed to set us apart in this country.”

Finally concluding her long-winded rant, Crocket claimed, “We are supposed to live in a country where everyone has an opportunity to go from rags to literally riches. And so I am asking my colleagues to start looking out for the people who elected them, and this is one way that we can do it by supporting this amendment of Ms Lee.”
