'He's a joke': Crockett slams Johnson for blaming DHS shutdown on Dems - MS NOW Reports

[Rhiannon12866]

In this interview, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett responds to claims that Democrats are “obstructionists” and pushes back on the narrative surrounding the ongoing shutdown and DHS funding crisis.

Crockett makes clear that Republicans currently control the House, Senate, and White House, and argues that leadership decisions — particularly by the Speaker — have stalled progress, leaving federal workers without certainty and, in many cases, without pay.

She breaks down what actually happened behind the scenes, including the Senate passing a deal that never made it to the House floor, and why short-term fixes do not solve the broader problem facing federal workers.

The conversation also turns to conditions inside the Dilley detention facility in Texas, where children and families are being held. Crockett describes the role public attention has played in forcing accountability and raises concerns about the treatment of detainees, including very young children.

She also addresses broader questions around oversight, corruption, and whether there will be meaningful accountability moving forward.

This interview highlights the ongoing shutdown, the impact on federal workers, and the responsibility of Congress to govern effectively. - 03/31/2026.

1. Vile repugs blame Dems for their own failures and missteps

They will never admit wrongdoing or accountability. Makes me wanna puke that 47 is more important than their constituents. They haven't done shit for us and wish I knew how many work for Putin

3. Jasmine Crockett is a long time favorite of mine - I wish I had her as my Rep. instead of Stefanik!

As for Chris Jansing, she used to be the co-anchor on my local NBC affiliate, Albany, New York. Her co-anchor was Ed Dague who often brought on liberal guests.
