'The Find Out Phase': Jasmine Crockett Taunts GOP 'Clown Show' Amid Speaker Drama

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said ahead of Friday’s precarious House speaker vote that Republicans are entering the “‘find out’ phase” after claiming they’d received a sweeping “mandate” from voters in November. Crockett said Democrats don’t plan to help them sort it out.

“Listen, they have gone around, they have talked about how there is a mandate, and that this country issued a mandate for the Republicans to run something,” she told MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Thursday. “Well, the country about to find out. We are in the ‘find out’ phase.”

“So go ahead and run whatever y’all gonna run,” she continued, “but listen, if it’s all about y’all, if you don’t believe in bipartisanship and you have a ‘Trump trifecta,’ then y’all work this out amongst yourselves. We’re going to sit on the sidelines and eat our popcorn.”

In a post on X, the site formerly known as Twitter, Crockett wrote: “Welcome to the 119th! America, y’all seriously voted for this clown show to continue?!”

And as we know, there WAS "drama" and they were munching the popcorn but the preview show ended early. Now the MAIN EVENT will begin - actual "legislating".

and from what I could hear, it was nothing but a fire hose of lies and made up shit.

They really do live in a fictional world that they concocted.

They will stop at nothing to finish making our society into their fictional drama. And, we don't seem overly willing to stop them outside of trying through channels that they have co-opted many years ago. Let's see what changes.
