Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Proud Boys, White Supremacy, and Republicans Playing Dumb" - Rep. Jasmine Crockett



In this Judiciary Committee hearing, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett pushes back as witnesses struggle to give direct answers about the Proud Boys, neo-Nazis, and white supremacy.

Rep. Crockett calls out what she describes as blatant hypocrisy from Republicans who claim to support “law and order” while defending January 6th rioters and downplaying the role of extremist groups involved in the attack on the Capitol. She also connects the conversation to broader issues surrounding voting rights, racial discrimination, and the ongoing fight over how American history is taught.

From the Proud Boys to neo-Nazis to January 6th pardons, Rep. Crockett makes one thing clear: white supremacy should not be difficult to condemn. - 05/20/2026.
