Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) didnt let an interruption from Rep. Marjorie Traitor Greene (R-Ga.) faze her as she tore apart Republicans voter fraud claims on Wednesday.
Crockett went after GOP lawmakers as she talked about whos cheating during a congressional hearing that looked at election integrity in the District of Columbia.
We havent had half as many hearings about guns as weve had on voting rights, and every time we seemingly have a hearing on voting rights, were talking about the fact that people are cheating, so lets talk about whos cheating Crockett said.
Crockett, in remarks to Wendy Weiser, vice president of democracy at The Brennan Center for Justice policy institute, questioned Fox News $787.5 million settlement with Dominion Voting Systems in a defamation case involving 2020 election lies before switching to a Georgia law that reportedly held 87,000 people back from voting in 2018.
