| Crockett's rendition of "Thriller" |
In a rambling YouTube video posted Sunday, Crockett unloaded on what she calls Republican efforts to "rig the system" through redistricting, all while conveniently ignoring her own party's aggressive counter-moves. After all, it isn't as if the Democrats have perfected this move--oh wait--they did.
"Obviously, Trump is still doing his bidding with these state Houses and state Senates and governor's mansions to try to rig the system," potty-mouth Crockett said. "Kudos to Indiana for saying f**k you. Kudos to California for saying we're going to fight back."
How edgy for her to drop the "F Bomb." It's the latest Democrat ploy.
But Crockett didn't stop there, praising a dissenting lower-court opinion before turning her fire on the nation's highest court: "Definitely kudos to the Trump justice who wrote the 160-page opinion denouncing what took place in Texas and f**k you to the Supreme Court for what they did as well as, you know, we'll see what happens in some other places."
Classic. The Supreme Court sided with Texas Republicans in December, allowing Gov. Greg Abbott's redrawn maps to stand for the midterms, a map expected to flip as many as five seats to the GOP column. And yes, those new lines effectively booted Crockett from her current district, which just so happened to coincide with her sudden announcement of a Senate bid days later.
Meanwhile, Democrats aren't exactly playing defense. California Gov. Gavin Newsom rammed through a ballot initiative in November creating five new Dem-leaning districts to offset Texas. And in December, Indiana's GOP-led Senate shot down a proposal for two additional Republican seats—handing Crockett her "kudos" moment.
But Crockett wasn't done. She used the rant to push her pet cause: "reforming" the Supreme Court, drawing on her time with the 2024 Court Reform Now Task Force—think term limits and packing the bench.
"I just feel like there are certain spots on the Supreme Court that were illegitimately gotten for sure," Crockett said. "So, I think if we're going to shore up our democracy, we have to first start by shoring up the checks and balances. And so, that starts with the Supreme Court."
Nothing says "shoring up democracy" like cursing out the justices and demanding to overhaul the court because it won't rubber-stamp your agenda. Stay classy, Rep. Crockett.
