Damn! Now that’s how you “correct the Congressional Record” — courtesy of Texas Representative Jasmine Crockett.
I only heard about the “Because y'all lie” sound-bite, when this happened. Which was in defense of Hunter Biden not wanting to meet behind closed doors, with the GOP Inquisitioners. But damn, the rest of her comments are definitely worth a listen too.
Talk about speaking the truth to morons ...
[ Oversight Committee Debates Resolution to Hold Hunter Biden in Contempt of Congress — January 10, 2024 ]
Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett gave Republicans a well-deserved earful during today's GOP 'Let's Get Hunter Biden' hearing [...]
"Let me tell you why nobody wants to talk to y'all behind closed doors," Crockett said. "Because y'all lie; that's just the bottom line. You have done it thus far in this investigation, you have done it this far as it relates to this committee and every single hearing y'all spin spin spin.
"I don't know how y'all are still standing right now because you should be quite dizzy from all the spinning that you're constantly doing when it comes to spinning the truth," she continued. "You talk about free and fair elections, but you back a guy who we know tried to steal the election. And this isn't about what Democrats have to say. Let me remind you for those of you that don't know how the justice system works; it's not a matter of the President went in and indicted Trump, but we are talking about grand juries. Grand juries are comprised of American citizens and the people that have entered pleas of guilty that will be flipping on your leader in a minute. They are republicans."
"I do want to point that out, and half of them were Republicans that were handpicked by Donald Trump himself," she continued. "So, to be clear, whatever happens to your little leader it's going to be because of the actions that he took. So you can talk all you want to about how January 6th was nonsense but all y'all were running at that time y'all were grabbing y'all's gas masks and y'all were running to your offices because you didn't know if they were coming to kill you."
"You should have cared that somebody was there to protect you, but instead, you want to play games because you found out that it was your leader that decided that he wanted to propagate an insurrection on our country," she added. "So don't tell me that you care about the Constitution because you don't. All you care about is Trump getting re-elected."

Now that’s how you call out the GOP liars — right to their lying faces! Well done Ms Crockett. I wish my Rep was only half as bold as this.
That mini-rant/major take-down, sounds even better live. You can hear it all in its entirety, in this C-Span clip. Or in the first few minutes of this MeidasTouch youtube clip from yesterday (where I first heard the whole “civics lesson”).

More Dems need to push back like this, on the Trump loyalists, masquerading as a political party. Fight back, you know, like it really mattered.
While you still have the luxury of free speech, to exercise, for a just cause.
