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?!”
