Why Are Democrats Always Expected To Apologize for Saying Stuff That...
... isn't NEARLY as bad as the unconscionable, hateful S*** that MAGAS say on a DAILY BASIS???
Rep. Jasmine Crockett Defends Use of ‘S–tter’ in Congress: ‘I Will Match Your Energy or Exceed It’: The Texas Congresswoman has no regrets - The Wrap
When asked... what prompted the use of the word, Crockett explained, “To be clear, Nancy Mace continued to cuss in this hearing,” said the congresswoman from South Carolina. “And my attitude is, I will match your energy or exceed it.”
When asked what she might say to people who might question Crockett’s strategy of “matching energy with energy,” the congresswoman replied, “I say that they don’t understand what’s going on in Congress and they don’t understand what’s going on in our country.”
“Right now, I think historically — and I applaud those who have come before me — Democrats have always wanted to be the ones to say, ‘This is how we are supposed to conduct ourselves.’ And they think that just by maintaining that type of decorum that MAGAs and others will respond and do the same,” she explained.
Crockett continued, “But they don’t. And so sometimes you’ve gotta make sure that they know that you can bring it as well.”
