Rep. Jasmine Crockett stresses that she’s more than a “viral sensation.” But looking back at her first term in Congress, plenty of moments stand out.
She dressed down Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., with an alliterative flourish and tangled with Nancy Mace, R-S.C., over white privilege. Her committee work has spawned YouTube highlight reels and a “Saturday Night Live” parody. She spoke at the Democratic National Convention and has become a fixture on cable news.
Now she’s in her second term and preparing to counter the Trump administration. While Crockett fell short in her bid to lead the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, she says her approach is right for the times.
