peppertree
(23,455 posts)She very much reminds me of those great, African-American schoolteachers in Mi'ssippi - who know exactly how to handle any kind of situation.
And it usually involved something along just what she said.

(6,019 posts)in the first video! Tells me EVERYTHING I need to know about him. This is a man who has never had to and does not like having to shut up when a woman is talking and especially when a black woman is talking. Just the ton of his voice in those two words tells me he a racist misogynistic douchebag!

(30,249 posts)But her answer! The gods honest truth - This is my time. - shut him right the fuck up. Shes amazing!
Prairie Gates
(8,475 posts)My thought too. He's sitting in Congress and she's up there on the dais, having been elected by the people of her district, and he still thinks he's in charge in their interaction.
Think. Again.
(22,456 posts)...his tone was definitely of the "How Dare You Speak to ME That Way!" variety.

As a woman, I DESPISE men like this. And there are a lot of them around, unfortunately. They're puffed up little pricks, drunk on their own arrogance.

(40,366 posts)The real Bo Belinsky pitched for the LA Angels, threw a no hitter two weeks after being called up, and married Mamie Van Doren. That's Bo Belinski. This guy is a GOP punk.

We need about 100 more just like her in the House.
Probatim
(3,298 posts)takes control of Congress.
When, not if, but when the old guard is replaced by this group of Democrats, they are going to trash the opposition.
It's also part of the reason why I get mad when the ageists pop their heads up on this site. This generation, the one my kids are in, are smart and motivated - and know how to snap back to bullies like Bobulinski.

(114,666 posts)so I can vote for her. I'm not moving to Texas, sorry.
This should have been said often to right wingers over many, many yers. If officials and moderators won't insist on bare politeness, let alone Robert's Rules of Order, then we have to do it, ourselves.
Many cheers for Rep. Crockett. It's about bloody time.

Warpy
(114,666 posts)Ironically, it's the state of my birth and my parent retired there. I've always hated it.
If you love flying cockroaches getting caught in your hair, you ought to love Florida.
My mother said she loved to see all those high rise condo buildings going up, they'd make Florida sink faster.
The only upside to having my parents gone is that I no longer have to go to Florida.

(7,395 posts)We need many more ladies like her in Congress. Too many GOPpie old white men who have been there for far too long are now getting their comeuppance and I love it.
They think it is 1924, not 2024.
Their "witnesses" too. They think they can lie 'under oath' and won't be called out on it. They think their past indiscretions or illegal activities won't be brought to light. Naw, buddie. Get with the times, or get out.

(13,339 posts)Yesterday, he was called on it and shown to be a complete liar. His bluster made him look completely foolish. Kudos to Crockett and the other Democrats who pulled back the curtain on his scam.

(32,354 posts)If we hadn't spent the last few decades, seeing just how polite and submissive we could be, think how far ahead we'd be at this point.
A thousand thanks, Ms. Crockett.
