Democrat Guest Pressed To Name Jasmine Crockett’s Accomplishments. Turns Out, It’s A Short List

Former Democratic Rep. Pat Murphy of Pennsylvania struggled Monday when Fox News host Harris Faulkner asked him to name the accomplishments of Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett.

Crockett is considering a run for the United States Senate seat held by Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn, prompting former Democratic Rep. Colin Allred of Texas to run for a House seat instead. Murphy highlighted some of Crockett’s more notorious media appearances and clashes with Republicans during congressional hearings to the “Faulkner Focus” host.

“In the congressional hearings, she’s pretty tough. Listen, I’m talking about her record as a member of Congress… I think she is holding this administration accountable on a lot of different things,” Murphy claimed. “I mean, she has been adamant about sticking to what the Constitution says and what it doesn’t say. I’ve seen some of her congressional hearings. She is a smart lawyer that was a public defender in that district before she got into office and then she has been there, you can’t deny the fact she is not a back-bencher. She has been at the forefront on a message to hold this administration accountable.”

Murphy then noted that Democratic Texas State Rep. James Talarico was also running in the primary.

“You don’t know what John Cornyn’s done. You don’t know what [Attorney General Ken Paxton of Texas] has done,” Faulkner responded. “These people have records, she should have a record, too. What you gave me was her public influencer profile.”

Crockett falsely accused EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin of taking money from registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein during the debate on the floor of the House of Representatives in November on legislation to force the Trump administration to release files about Epstein.

During her Sept. 12 appearance on “The Breakfast Club,” Crockett’s discussion of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with host Charlamagne tha God, took an inflammatory path when she compared the agency’s operations to “slave patrols.”

Since a clash with Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia during a May 2024 House Oversight Committee hearing, Crockett has become a prominent House Democrat. She has used profanity and unleashed racially-charged rants during Congressional hearings and for calling Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas “Governor Hot Wheels” in reference to Abbott’s use of a wheelchair after he was paralyzed following a back injury.
