From Washington Examiner: Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggested that “little red states” are national freeloaders, contributing nothing while blue states prop them up.
Speaking at a hearing, Crockett mocked Republican-run states, claiming they were on “life support” from Democrat-run states.
“It seems like blue states are constantly putting red states on life support, yet we got these little red states that ain’t contributing nothing, but they are definitely taking up a lot of money,” she said.
Crockett cited California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) comment that his state contributes more than it receives.
“And then you can go down south to states like Louisiana, who are broke and so they need California to pay in, so it is so interesting that we are so concerned about whether or not we are pushing certain ideologies,” she said.
