Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) suggested Wednesday that the ongoing spending battle in the House is being waged among Republicans, saying “I’m just gonna sit back.”
“We’re looking at this like, this is their problem,” Crockett told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner. “We have seen this play out over and over in the entire two years that I’ve been in Congress.”
“But here’s the deal: There is no fixing this without the Democrats,” Crockett added later in the interview. “We have seen this over and over, and I’m just gonna sit back and sip my tea and wait on them to figure it out.”
Allies of President-elect Trump criticized a large stopgap funding bill negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) that would keep the government open until at least mid-March. Tech billionaire Elon Musk — whom Trump tapped to serve on an advisory board looking to cut federal spending — lashed out at the continuing resolution, calling it a “piece of pork.”

“House Democrat on spending drama: ‘I’m just gonna sit back and sip my tea’”
Us conservatives will gladly join him.
Huge opportunity for the Republicans — simple bill, provide the minimum money necessary, plus hurricane relief funds for Helene damage, no raise for congress and put it to a vote. Easy to do. Let the Democrats vote that down. Let the Democrats vote against hurricane relief. Let the Democrats vote to shut down the government. Make them own it.
But the Republicans won’t seize this opportunity. Because the GOP leadership is comprised of Democrats.
There’s an “infinite amount of cash at the Federal Reserve”.
Neil Kashkari, President of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve
She and Fauxahontas Warren are two commie birds of a feather flocking together.
And RINO traitors.
$174,000 a year to sip tea. That says all you need to know about the Dems and their love for America.
Better opportunity—limited shut-down until the new congress and administration comes to town.
Nothing good will happen between now and then.
“I’m just gonna sit back.” ....he deserves a 40% raise </s>
so smug, they know the GOP will cave because they always do.
We can only hope the GOP doesn’t cave like they always do.
A month-long shutdown sounds just fine to me.
Also an opportunity. Once in office the DJT team can issue “do not bother coming back” letters to thousands of bureaucrats.
The necessary next step is to DO YOUR JOB...you know...that thing that you were elected to do.
If you are lazy, surly and indolent, do it on YOUR OWN TIME. If you are in the business of governance.... then get to work!!!!!!!!
It, she’s a horrible low IQ moron who is a disgrace to Texas.
She’s all ghetto, no class.
Apparently Jasmine is the designated ‘go to’ schill for the MSM.
Who’s gonna be surprised if Jasmine Crockett’s idol turns out to be Cynthia McKinney? I know I certainly wouldn’t be.
A clean CR should not be hard. All it takes is the will to do it.
Time for hard ball. Really it is time for a hard ball bat.
