Jasmine Crockett on Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene and the Democratic Party

 

Politico:

For liberals who lament the Democratic Party’s ongoing struggle to break through with their messaging, the emergence of Rep. Jasmine Crockett represents a rare jolt of good news.

Here, finally, is a Democrat who’s eager to tangle with Republicans on Capitol Hill and gets plenty of media attention for doing it. Someone who gets invited onto Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show to talk about President Donald Trump and his cognitive tests.

And Crockett is game.

Now, not every member of the Democratic caucus may be on board with her approach. But in a new interview with The Conversation, she recalled the plaudits she got last year after her viral confrontation with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.

“There are two little women in their eighties that are high-fiving me,” she said. “It is Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi. Two very well-known, fierce, yet definitely what you would probably consider to be older-school kind of politicians.”

Crockett added that even fellow Democrats in swing districts have invited her to help them campaign.

“Whether you agree with my style or disagree with my style,” she said, “I think people respect me for my authenticity.”
