U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat from Texas, tried to block a member of the Texas House from closing out a news conference on Monday in Illinois, thinking she held the coveted final speaking slot.
Crockett joined a group of Texas House lawmakers who had fled to Illinois over the weekend to block Republicans from voting on a congressional redistricting map.

Crockett took to the podium at the Warrenville, Illinois, news conference on Monday by first announcing, “I will be your last and final speaker.”

Crocket said her fellow congressional Democrats’ response to Republican redistricting plans is, “Do what you got to do, and I will fight and I will win and I will earn my seat back to the People’s House in D.C.”
She closed her remarks, believing the news conference was over.
But when Texas Democratic State Rep. Ron Reynolds, who was standing beyond Crockett, moved to take the podium, she waved him back, saying, “We’re done.”
Others around Crockett then appeared to convey otherwise to her, prompting her to insist, “No, we’re done. Yes, we are. We done. That’s what it says,” pointing to a document on the podium.
Texas House Democratic Minority Leader Gene Wu then stepped forward and said, “We were supposed to have Ron do the closing.”
“Go ahead, sorry,” Crockett said to Reynolds.
One got the sense that Crockett, who certainly likes being the center of attention, seemed a little miffed by the whole situation. Nonetheless, she took her spot behind the true final speaker.

That idiot Crockett should be arrested for murdering the English language.
“...seemed a little miffed...”
I would love to have been fly-on-the-wall once they got back stage. I’m gonna guess it was more than miffed.
These politicians are like prima donna entertainers. It’s cutthroat and personal.
What a piece of work she is…..
If only she truly was done
She done!
“”One got the sense that Crockett, who certainly likes being the center of attention, seemed a little miffed by the whole situation. Nonetheless, she took her spot behind the true final speaker.””
Crockett’s pride truly goeth before her fall....lololol.
> What a piece of work she is…..
“work” is a more polite word than what I’m thinking.
I thought Texas was sending folks to arrest them and bring them back.
We’ve seen lots of other videos of blacks hating on Asians.
She well done.................
She is such a narcissistic bitch. Someone needs to knock her off her high horse.
Crockett’s ego just got a deep stabbing the slope has just been greased.
🙂👍
Stupid as a rock
Get rid of this ghetto person.
““Go ahead, sorry,” Crockett said to Reynolds.”
She eventually submitted to the will of the collective.
Sure these dems have big egos like all politicians but never underestimate the power of the leftist collective.
Ghetto trash hood rat representing a ghetto trash district. God help us from the de.ocrats.
She’s a piece of something alright
