Rep. Crockett: "Democrats are bringing a butter knife to a real fight" - Laura Coates Live CNN

In a candid and unfiltered interview with Laura Coates, Rep. Jasmine Crockett explains why she supports President Biden's decision to pardon Hunter Biden. With the stakes higher than they've ever been and American democracy hanging in the balance, Crockett calls out her colleagues for losing focus on the one thing Democrats should be doing right now: mounting a defense against Trump's Project 2025 policies. - Aired on 12/03/2024.

Hunter would not have made it 30 days in jail. He would have been Epstein'ed. Different reasons, however it would have happened.

She is everything I like about -- and want -- in an elected representative.

I was glad that Josh Riley beat Molinaro this year in our state's 19th.
