Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "Real Problems. Fake Priorities." - Rep. Jasmine Crockett

[Rhiannon12866]

Rep. Jasmine Crockett challenges what she calls Congress's misplaced priorities, arguing that lawmakers are spending more time fueling political fights than addressing the issues families are actually facing.

During this committee exchange, Crockett contrasts legislation targeting transgender youth with the crises she says deserve immediate attention—including gun violence, youth mental health, infectious disease outbreaks, cancer research, and the rising cost of living. She questions whether Congress is solving real problems or simply manufacturing political ones.

For Crockett, protecting children means investing in their safety, health, and future—not using them as the centerpiece of another culture war.

The stakes are too high for political theater. Americans deserve solutions grounded in reality, not distractions designed for campaign season. - 07/15/2026.
