Jasmine Crockett formally launches bid to become top Oversight Dem

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is officially launching her bid to become the head of Democratic opposition to the GOP on the House Oversight Committee.

She is the fourth Democrat to vie for the top Oversight Committee spot following the passing of Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Virginia. Her dear colleague’s letter predictably slammed President Donald Trump and claims that the current administration has not expressed appropriate “respect” for congressional authority.

“Our country is in an existential crisis driven by an out-of-control Executive with a flagrant disregard for our Constitution, our way of governance, and our very way of life as citizens of a democratic republic. The Administration has refused to respect congressional authority, abide by lawful judicial orders, or respond to public outrage,” the lawmaker wrote.

“The magnitude of these unprecedented times warrants a resistance and tactics never before seen. We must pull back the curtain on the unmitigated chaos under Trump 2.0 and translate our findings to the American people in a way they can digest,” the letter continued.

She made the case for herself by arguing that the ranking member of the Oversight Committee must be ready to campaign against Trump and his policies.

“From the pulpit of the Oversight Committee, the Ranking Member must lay out our case against Trump 2.0 and his accomplices, the Republicans in the House, and discharge this message across the nation. The Ranking Member must succinctly summarize the most salient points of our evidence. It is paramount that the Ranking Member be ready to rapidly respond to the opposition’s arguments and rebuttals in a manner that does not play into their hand but renders the opposition’s tactics ineffective.”

But in order to reach the “pulpit” she seeks, she must beat out acting ranking member Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Massachusets, as well as Reps. Kweisi Mfume, D-Maryland, and Robert Garcia, D-California.

Good Grief, what in the world gives you the idea that you have the resume to hold this job? You are nothing more than a grifter…
