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.

Just like Hillary, it’s all for show. She went to a private school and lived in a fairly well to do area.
