'Blueprint for Democrats': Jasmine Crockett wins praise after bruising Republican put down

Raw Story  

Rep. Jasmine Crockett won praise Monday for a House floor showdown that left Republicans bruised, a columnist wrote. The confrontation came on Thursday when she shut down House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Rep. Nancy Mace, wrote Ja’han Jones for MSNBC. “Mace helped fuel this baseless claim when she suggested there was something nefarious afoot in the census' counting of "illegal aliens," despite this being a longstanding policy.” But Crockett hit back, smashing the “bogus” claim with hard facts, Jones wrote. “Ahead of the 2020 Census, Donald Trump’s administration and Republicans did everything in their power to meddle with that year’s census, and the result was a large undercount of Black and Latino people in the United States,” he wrote. “ … That very point was the subject of Crockett’s line of questioning, which she began by bemoaning that some of her colleagues — she means you, Rep. Mace — don't seem to understand what the census is even meant to do.” And she also cited census figures that showed Texas had grown by 4 million people from 2010 to 2020.
