Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett was called out for dropping the names of a series of Republicans who took donations from Jeffrey Epstein, but she got the wrong Jeffrey Epstein.
The Texas lawmaker and rising star of the Democratic Party was speaking on the House floor on Tuesday when she commented. “Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly: Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, Win Red, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio,” Crockett stated.
Her remarks came as the House was considering the censure of Del. Stacey Plaskett for texting with the disgraced financier. “If this is the standard that we’re going to make, just know we’re going to expose it all and just know that the FEC filings, they are available for everybody to review,” she added.
So Crockett attacks EPA head Zeldin for receiving money from one "Jeffrey Epstein"--but it was actually a different Jeffrey Epstein, a NY doctor. To be fair, I wouldn't chalk this up to being stupid, but undeniably lazy instead as basic research could've shown the difference. Of course, Crockett is such an unhinged, hater of all things Republicans that it's always possible that she knew that she got the wrong Epstein before her speech and tried to defame Zeldin anyway--which would warrant a defamation suit. But nah, she ain't that dumb, right?
