A Democrat congresswoman tore into Donald Trump branding him a “piece of s**t” before a whooping left-wing audience at an event this weekend. Texas lawmaker Jasmine Crockett is no stranger to criticising President Trump, having previously dubbed the American leader a “wannabe Hilter”.
Ms Crockett launched her latest savlo at her country’s Commander-in-Chief as she gave a speech to a like-minded audience at the Won’t Back Down Tour, organised by the left-wing group MoveOn Political Action in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 3. Addressing the progressive crowd, she said: “Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of s***, OK? We know that. Yes, yes! He is, he is! But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this.” Ms Crocket added that she believed the US Supreme Court was “complicit” in allowing the Trump administration to function.
According to news site Mediaite, the Texas representative added: “He’s been to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts, especially the Supreme Court, is complicit.
“They are the highest court in the land and they have no ethics guardrails. Now you go down to the lower courts, and they do. How much sense does that make? Well, we know that they’re taking money. We have the paper trail. And they refuse to put guardrails on themselves. So it’s time for us to do it for them.”
Earlier this month, Ms Crockett appeared on Saturday’s Alex Witt Reports on MSNBC, where she compared Donald Trump to the Nazi wartime leader Adolf Hitler. She said: “I’ve called him so many things, but this wannabe Hitler for sure.”
And in May this year she urged Republicans to “start calling out and questioning” Trump’s “mental acuity” after he made a speech at the famous West Point military academy.
During his remarks at the military academy, the 78-year-old president veered off topic on several occasions to rant about his criminal prosecution, fellow real estate moguls and their yachts and trophy wives, drag shows and golf, among other things, which prompted fierce backlash.
Ms Crockett, who previously described the president as an “enemy to the United States” and warned of the dangers she believes he poses, was among many who condemned the president’s remarks.
“I don’t think that those that have gone through West Point expected their ‘commander-in-chief’ to address them and start talking about trophy wives or started talking about how he has so many investigations [against him],” she said Saturday on MSNBC.
