"We're Going to Hell If We Don't Fight Back": Crockett Slams GOP Power Grab & Exposes Criminals



Rep. Jasmine Crockett pulls no punches as she slams the GOP’s redistricting plan, calling it a power grab to suppress Black and Brown voices. With a stark warning that "we’re going to hell" if we don’t fight back, Crockett exposes how this isn’t just about Texas—it’s about America’s future. She points out that the real criminals aren’t the lawmakers trying to protect voters’ rights, but those in power who are deliberately undermining democracy to hold onto control. Crockett demands action to protect voting rights and ensure fair representation for all Americans.

The American Experience series and went thru the history of the fight for voting rights. It’s been going on for over 200 years and the road blocks and evil intentions to deny people..every citizen, the right to vote freely.

It started with the fight for women’s suffrage to the defeat of ERA to today. They were about 2 hours each so on this hot Sunday, I got lost in the documentaries. YouTube may have them, too.
