Jasmine Crockett is on quite a streak of shamelessness. One might say, a generational one.
In that dubious category, the Dem rep from Texas reigns supreme in Washington DC, even in a week when President Trump told a reporter: “quiet piggy.“
It’s something to behold.
She’s so consistently and ridiculously on the wrong side of objective truth, even CNN hosts are regularly swatting her down.
On Wednesday, she attempted to pull a gotcha on Republicans accusing them of having a very cozy transactional relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019.
On the House floor Crockett declared, “We’re gonna expose it all!”
Narrator: “She only exposed her backside — and her incompetence.”
The lefty pol was trying to cover for her pal, delegate Stacey Plaskett, who was facing censure from Republicans after text messages revealed she was literally being coached by Epstein as she questioned former Trump fixer Michael Cohen in a 2019 House Oversight Committee hearing.
The 44-year-old rattled off GOP pols who had received donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, including Mitt Romney, the late John McCain and the current EPA head Lee Zeldin, whose donations came months after the pedophile was six feet under.
In the case of Zeldin, those actually came from two separate men with the misfortune of sharing the infamous sex trafficker’s name.
“Yes Crockett, a physician named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein (who is a totally different person than the other Jeffrey Epstein) donated to a prior campaign of mine,” Zeldin wrote in an X post. “NO FREAKIN RELATION YOU GENIUS!!!”
It was a moment that belonged on a blooper reel. Most people would have quietly apologized or taken a vow of silence for a few days.
But Crockett, whose phone lockscreen is reportedly a portrait of herself, possesses an elite brand of narcissism that guided her to CNN’s “The Source.”
Host Kaitlan Collins offered an opportunity to correct the record.
“Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,” Crockett said, laughably adding that when people make donations their photos aren’t attached.
So how could she have known?
“And because they decided to spring this on us, in real time, I wanted the Republicans to think about what could potentially happen, because I knew that they didn’t even try to go through the [Federal Election Commission].”
Not only did she admit she runs a sloppy operation, where she is reportedly a diva no-show boss, but that she cares so little about facts.
It’s long been a pattern for Crockett, whose best known for best known for verbally sparring with Marjorie Taylor Greene in the style perfected by Jerry Springer guests.
Crockett was also corrected by Collins late last month when she repeated a debunked lie, that Karoline Leavitt said Trump’s only focus was his White House ballroom.
Collins noted Crockett had taken a small clip out of context.
And last week on “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” Crockett brought up an email written by Epstein, where the name of one of his victims, Virginia Giuffre, was redacted.
“Obviously it’s redacted who the victim is, so I won’t necessarily take the Republican word on who it is that’s redacted,” she said, accusing Republicans of blacking out Giuffre’s name.
CNN anchor Pamela Brown chimed in, correctly saying, “the Democrats did that, though.”
Rattled, Crockett said the victims are her biggest concern.
But she doesn’t care about protecting victims of sex trafficking. Nor does she seem interested in fighting for her constituents.
She’s deeply and solely committed to the growth of her personal brand and online profile — a point made in a July profile of her in The Atlantic.
In it, the writer points out that a clip of her going after ICE racked up more than 797,000 views on YouTube.
“I know this because she told me,” the author cracks.
Even her own staffers told The Post Crockett wants to be an influencer and only shows up if there’s a camera.
And I applaud CNN for providing that close up night after night, so she can continue to reveal the buffoon she truly is.
