WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 20: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) speaks during a press conference outside the U.S. Capitol March 20, 2024 in Washington, DC.
WASHINGTON (TND) — Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, reaffirmed her support Thursday for a bill that would remove Secret Service protection for former President Donald Trump.
The congresswoman asserted her position on the legislation in response to state Rep. Brian Harrison, R-Waxahachie, who urged her to resign following Trump’s attempted assassination.
The "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable, or 'DISGRACED,' Former Protectees Act" would remove Secret Service protection for people convicted of certain felonies.
Rep. Crockett claimed the bill was in the interest of taxpayers who shouldn’t have to fund protection for people serving prison time.
“As a sitting member of congress we don’t even get secret service protection so why should taxpayers foot the bill for someone who a jury of his/her peers has deemed guilty of a felony or in this case 34 of ‘em, if they are sentenced to time,” she wrote on social media.
“The prison is full of officers not to mention, why should we make an entire team of public servants have to go to prison, too?!” the congresswoman added.
State Rep. Harrison was one of 16 members of the Texas Legislature who, along with 11 Republican nominees, signed a letter telling Rep. Crockett she has forfeited any “moral authority” to represent Texas. The congresswoman claimed her opponents were only looking for “clout” on X.
“Oh the evil & illogical who don’t even serve on my level believe they have sway or authority over me (insert white privilege),” she said. “While I’ve been out of the country on official business, these losers have been looking for Twitter clout.”
State Rep. Harrison posted on X that he was proud to demand she resign.
“I mean what type of men go after women anyway, oh Republicans,” Rep. Crockett replied. “The next time you think it’s a great idea to talk to me; don’t.”
The congresswoman is running for reelection this year in a district that includes parts of Dallas. She challenged Republicans to beat her in the November election.
“If y’all think your ideas or opinions matter to my district, go work against me to get me kicked out of office,” Rep. Crockett said. “I dare you to go knock doors in my district and cry a river to my constituents and see how it works out for you.”
Just another Demoncrat ... just another Satan’s Army recruit.
Have you noticed that it seems that ONLY THE BLACK POLITICIANS are going after Trump.
NY AG, NYC Prosecutor, GA Prosecutor, This Twit, House Minority Leader, etc., etc.
Seems like a Race Based attack to me.
Yeah, right. I wonder what “official business” she’s involved in. Can’t find that information anywhere.
A “ friend” of mine literally hates ( she admitted to me)Pres Trump.
I asked her why but she absolutely could not
say Why.
Does she have a “Love Lives Here” sign in her yard?
Must've taken weeks to come up with that little gem. She probably needed help from AI.
I think the idea is a double minority woukd be more difficult to fight back against......because you know.....racism.
As soon as she gives up ALL of hers.
Ya know, gotta love all this ‘noise’ from the left, distracting from the true problem.
See https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4252570/posts?page=28#28 :
“If this is truly the case, DJT needs to seriously evaluate who is in his inner circle.
NO LOYAL ADVISOR - security or otherwise - would have missed the ‘changing of the guard’...a HUGE red flag in the current threat environment (one we here at FR acknowledge is from within the USG).
He’s got a very, VERY serious problem: They are likely to try again and he can’t trust his own people with his life.”

They can’t just shoot him now. It has to look like an “Act of God”. Something like a meteor falling from the sky......or ‘something’ like that....
Another vicious racist idiot WITH FALSE EYELASHES!!!
This is the kind of thing that happens when Davy’s kin started dippin into the....help.
PERFECT response!
How about if we just remove HER protection. She’s worthless.
You missed the larger picture.
Or did you???

Looks like Dallas went off the map they elect anything.
That Crocket rep is one fugly ghetto trash politician. Her,AOC and MTG going at it is comedy gold.
I proudly have no liberal friends. They can all rot in hell.
I’m assuming that as the son of the President, Hunter has SS protection?
Doesn’t this mean that he would lose it too?
