Jasmine Crockett Gets 'Perfectly Honest' With Red States: 'They Are About To Find Out'
HuffPost
The Texas Democrat called out conservatives who "fail to realize" how the Trump administration is dragging them to the "find out phase."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) on Wednesday warned that President Donald Trump’s “adversarial” attitude to blue states is bringing Republicans in red states into the “find out phase.”
Crockett — in an interview with MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace — pointed out that Trump was “taunting” the State of California amid deadly wildfires last month before noting what people “fail to realize” in states that are “broke” like Alabama and Louisiana.
“I can go through pretty much the entire South and tell you that they’re broke and they rely on a lot of welfare from the government, to be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states like New York. Yeah, they send a lot of money into taxes and then broke states end up benefiting from it,” she said.
“And now they are about to find out, so we’re in the find out phase.”
Wallace — after Crockett warned that the Trump administration is driving the U.S. into a recession “at warp speed” amid Elon Musk’s cost-cutting efforts — noted that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) suggested Republicans lobby the billionaire to preserve federal money for their states.
