Jasmine Crockett Destroys GOP Rep. Who Made Derogatory Kamala Harris Remark
HuffPost
The freshman Democrat slammed Rep. Chip Roy as "ignorant" over his remark about the vice president.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) didn’t hold back on Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) after he suggested Vice President Kamala Harris was a diversity, equity and inclusion hire.
The Republican lawmaker called Harris a “DEI vice president” on Fox Business while criticizing her as a possible replacement candidate for President Joe Biden.
“If you just listen to what they say, it will tell you everything that you need to know,” Crockett said of the comment on MSNBC’s “ReidOut” on Monday. “Number one, you can obviously see that he’s ignorant as all get-out. Number two, you can see that he wishes he had half the competency of Vice President Kamala Harris.”
She continued, “Don’t talk to me about what a DEI hire looks like, because we know that you have never, ever engaged in diversity, equity or inclusion when it came to your office. So we know that you don’t know anything about hiring diversity.”
She slammed the GOP governors of Texas and Florida for their efforts to dismantle DEI measures in their respective states, calling on Republicans to “come up with actual policies, instead of going after people because of how they look or how they were born.”
