Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Y'all Found $40B Under a Couch But Not $6 a Day to Feed Americans? - Rep. Jasmine Crockett



In this House Judiciary markup, Rep. Jasmine Crockett breaks down the gap between GOP talking points and GOP reality. She pulls up the data: immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest share of ICE detention, yet Republicans still insist they’re “getting the bad guys out.”

She also digs into the sudden Republican interest in the Epstein files — after shutting down Congress for months to avoid the topic — and calls out how selective the outrage becomes when it’s politically convenient.

Rep. Crockett then turns to the issue that actually hits home: affordability. While millions rely on $6 a day in SNAP benefits, the same politicians preaching “fiscal responsibility” somehow located $40 billion under a couch cushion to send overseas. She lays out why voters are seeing through it, and why November’s results looked the way they did.

A straight-up, unfiltered breakdown of the hypocrisy, the priorities, and the reality Republicans don’t want on the record. - 11/19/2025.
