Скачать или смотреть Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Redemption for Me, But Not for Thee — Hypocrisy on Full Display

On the House floor, Rep. Jasmine Crockett delivers a forceful speech exposing the hypocrisy behind the latest D.C. crime bill.

Crockett reminds the chamber that the bill’s Republican champion was himself given multiple second chances after felony charges as a young man — chances that allowed him to climb the ladder to Congress. Yet today, he’s trying to deny those same opportunities to young people in Washington, D.C.

Crockett’s message is clear: America is supposed to be about redemption, not selective mercy. From youthful offenders to a twice-impeached, 34-count convicted felon in the White House, accountability and second chances can’t just apply to the powerful while poor Black youth are told to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps.” Because real justice means lifting as we climb — not pulling the ladder up behind us.
