I'm Waiting for the Jasmine Crockett/AOC Congressional Dumb-Off

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is busy mapping the region's Dairy Queens and microbreweries. 

Near the top of Monday's Briefing, I wrote, "There will be plenty of time between now and Friday to deal with rogue judges, Chuck Schumer's late-life crisis, and whatever monumentally stupid thing that Jasmine Crockett says that day. Heck, we might have to put someone on a full-time Jasmine Crockett watch, now that I think of it."

This is one of those things that I would prefer not to be right about, but I think we all know that this was a pretty easy call. The wearisome congresswoman from Texas is incapable of either closing her mouth or engaging her brain while it's open. Unfortunately for all of us, Crockett's job gives her a lot of access to television cameras, and she never passes up an opportunity to get her cavernous yap in front of one. 

Yesterday, Sarah gave a rundown of some of Crockett's recent offensive stupidity, this being the latest:

And now, she has mocked the governor of Texas for his inability to walk. Greg Abbott, who is in a wheelchair, has been a paraplegic since his twenties after an incident involving a tree falling on him. While appearing at a human rights event over the weekend, Crockett said, "Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there. Come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a** mess, honey."

Sarah goes on to note that a resolution to censure Crockett has been filed in the House of Representatives. That's something, I guess, but a formal censure won't affect Crockett because she's incapable of feeling shame. Remember, Ilhan Omar was censured almost upon her arrival in Congress for being antisemitic, and that didn't make her any less so. 

Proving that she doesn't really care, Crockett offered a lame explanation for what she actually meant, obviously at the urging of some slightly less insane people in her circle. My RedState colleague Bonchie wrote about that here. 

The Idiotic Loudmouth of the Democratic Party crown has been resting on the empty head of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for the past six years. She can't be happy that Crockett is getting all the press these days. Remember, most Dems are as shameless as Crockett and don't think that the attention she's getting is bad. I keep waiting for a congressional catfight to break out between Squeaky and The Maw. Maybe the Democrats can win back some of the youth vote by staging it in an octagon and selling tickets. 

For every clinically insane Democrat in Congress, there is the equally imbecilic horde of constituents who voted them there. Sometimes I think I would like to meet some of the Crockett and AOC voters and sincerely ask them what it is that made them cast their votes for such people. A man's gotta know his limitations, however, and I'm afraid I'd be overcome by the urge to shake them and yell, "What in the hell were you thinking?!?!?"

Crockett's name is mentioned in some circles as a potential presidential candidate for the Democrats in 2028. So is AOC's. If the Democrats are serious about putting a woman in the White House, maybe they should try running one who isn't a perpetually offensive, stark-raving loon. 

If they can find one on their side. 

"It took some time, but those of us who were on the frontlines during the Tea Party era began to realize that Trump was the anti-politician, blow-up-the-moribund-Republican-norms kind of guy we'd been waiting for. As his first term unfolded, it was the Tea Party types who were most vocal with our support. Proving that everything that's old is new again, it was — and still is — the political consultant class that was the cornerstone of the Never Trump movement."

"Honestly, Hamas should have just let the hostages go and ended this 18-month-old war already — but where's the opportunity to murder more Jews in that? When the bad guys decide that martyrdom and murder are preferable to peace, you give them as much of the former as you can while preventing as much of the latter."
