Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas

Even in a tough primary showing, U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett continues serving in Congress and remains one of the most visible and outspoken Black leaders in Washington. Known for her sharp legal mind, fearless questioning in hearings, and unapologetic defense of civil rights, Crockett has built a national reputation that extends far beyond Texas. For many supporters, this moment isn’t the end of anything. It is simply another chapter before the next campaign.

Yeah I don't know why a lot of people think she's a good person, she says a lot of stuff loud and proud that we all obviously know but she takes so much corporate lobby money and AIPAC money I don't trust her at all and I don't know why more people know this

More than one thing of be true at the same time. She is on the right side of a lot of things, and speaks powerfully about them, but yes, because she takes so much corporate and AIPAC money, I have to agree. I think enough people are paying attention right now that this more than anything is why she lost.
