From Fox News: Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, on Wednesday appeared to boast that her being Black was a big contributor to getting hired as a public defender with no experience.
Crockett relayed the story during a House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight meeting on corruption in the FBI under the Biden administration. She used it as an argument to defend diversity in law enforcement.
“When I first became a public defender, I had no criminal defense experience. I walked in, and I told my boss, Charlie, I said, ‘Listen, you should hire me.’ He said, ‘Why?’ I said, ‘Because I’m Black.’ Charlie looked at me like I was crazy,” Crockett said.
She continued, “And I said, ‘Let me tell you something. When I walk in, I’m going to walk in with a level of rapport and understanding that maybe some of my other colleagues will not.’ Charlie offered me my job, and I worked my butt off and I worked really, really hard for all of my clients, not just those that look like me. That is what it looks like to serve.”
Public defenders are lawyers appointed to provide legal representation to people who can’t afford their own attorneys.
WATCH the stunning moment in the video below:
Crockett has made many, many controversial statements that have prompted outrage from conservatives, including mocking Texas Gov. Abbott for his disability, calling for Elon Musk to be “taken down,” and much more.
Social media has erupted once more over this jaw-dropping claim, with many noting that Crockett just admitted she was a DEI hire, and was unqualified for the job she was given.
