Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett brilliantly mocked Republicans for saying they’re tough on law on order while applying a different standard to Criminal-in-Chief Donald Trump.
During an appearance on MSNBC, Crockett referenced the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was illegally deported to a prison in El Salvador without due process, which is guaranteed under the Constitution Trump took an oath to protect and defend. A federal court has ordered the Trump administration to “facilitate” Garcia’s release from the prison and return to the United States, but the president refuses to do so.
It should be noted that Garcia hasn’t been convicted of any crimes, and yet he continues to languish in a foreign prison.
That led Crockett to remark, “As far as I’m concerned, he’s a lot less criminal than the person that’s sitting in the White House ’cause last time I checked, he doesn’t have any criminal convictions. I don’t even think he has any outstanding cases, versus the guy that still had cases pending when he was sworn in on January 20th and also has 34 felony convictions.”
That’s absolutely true. Trump was convicted in New York on 34 criminal counts for hush money payments made to Stormy Daniels. He was also facing numerous federal felonies before he won the 2024 election and those charges were dropped.
Crockett added, “So listen, I don’t want to hear anything from the Republican Party about how they trying to keep us safe when their fearless leader is actually the biggest criminal thus far that we have seen because I haven’t seen anybody with a rap sheet that looks like the president’s.
Donald Trump is sitting in the White House while Kilmar Abrego Garcia rots in a Salvadoran hellhole. And yet the GOP wants to talk about law and order? It’d be laughable if it wasn’t so damn tragic.
