Jasmine Crockett is one of my favorite people in Congress right now. She is not afraid to call out Scott Jennings on CNN when he attempts to blame the right’s current favorite bogeyman, DEI, for the fires in California. She is poised, yet not afraid to break “decorum” in order to fight back when members of Congress tell lies.
David Shuster breaks down Jasmine Crockett’s smackdown in this video for Rebel HQ.
Can we start by just saying it out loud? Republicans are racist. When they call someone a “DEI hire,” the translation is: “You aren’t White, so there is no way you got the job because you are qualified.” They’ve gone so far as to call people of color who have been elected into office, “DEI hires.”
The more Republicans can get us to hate and blame each other as human beings in this country, the more corruption they can engage in unnoticed (Democrats do it, too, they just use other methods to distract us. Their methods aren’t as nefarious as those of the GOP).

That doesn’t even make sense, yet the folks who listen to these fools will just accept everything Republican politicians and pundits say even if it makes no logical sense whatsoever.
The GOP has been blaming DEI for decades and the voters just accept it. When will they realize that blaming minority groups is the Party’s way of hiding the corrupt things they’re engaged in behind the scenes. Scott Jennings on CNN is just doing what the hosts at Fox News have been doing when reporting the LA fires.
In fact, Maria Bartiromo took it a step farther on her show when she blamed “arson by immigrants” for the fires.
After both terrorist attacks on New Year’s Eve, the GOP immediately seized on the tragedies as an opportunity to use them to their advantage by blaming immigrants and the border1 for the attacks. Even though both men were American citizens who served or were serving in our military. Radicalization and extremism in the military is an issue, so they needed to change the narrative quick.
The more Republicans can get us to fight each other, the more corruption they can engage in unnoticed.

“You can’t afford a house or groceries, but look! Women run the LA County fire department. The wildfires destroying people’s lives must be their fault.” Meanwhile they do nothing to help the situation.
And when you lose Medicaid and SNAP benefits—the two programs they DO intend to cut funding for—they will have you blaming immigrants and each other while they once again give the richest people and corporations tax cuts.
It’s a worn out, and frankly, lazy playbook, but if it’s working, why would they change it? Republican voters, the next time they start talking about DEI and trans people’s bathroom ventures, just pause a moment to pull back the curtain and see what’s really going on. 9 times out of 10, they are screwing you and helping their billionaire friends. Just look at Trump’s cabinet full of them.
One last tip: Do you know why they attack books, librarians, teachers, and education in general? (They are going to shut down the entire Department of Education) Because they think stupid people will believe whatever they say. “Keep them stupid and poor.” is how they think they are able to screw you over every time while you cheer them on and then vote for them in the next election.

- Every time a Republican blames Democrats for people coming across the border, I scream at my television. Democrats made concessions in order to solve problems at the border with the bipartisan border bill. It was negotiated between Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, with Oklahoma Senator James Lankford (R) leading them. It was set to pass before God Emporer Trump spoke his commands and the spineless Republicans did as they were told. They killed the bill so that 1) Biden wouldn’t get “the win” and 2) so Trump could run on the border. How would he do that if it was fixed? So spare me with your fake outrage after you refused to fix the immigration system, a$$holes. ↩︎
