Texas Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett has been making a name for herself in recent months, but for all the wrong reasons. She mocked her home-state governor Greg Abbott’s use of a wheelchair, even though he was tragically semi-paralyzed when a tree fell on him in his 20s. She’s made racist and inflammatory remarks, even threatening Sen. Ted Cruz. She uses different accents depending on her audience. 

In other words, she’s “special.”

The deluded congresswoman, however, thinks she’s worthy of the top Democrat spot on the Oversight Committee, saying she’s “made for the moment.” This could set up an epic battle between far-left lawmakers, as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once ran for the job (and lost badly) and is rumored to be thinking about trying again.

But Jasmine has reportedly started lobbying hard for the position:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has started pitching fellow Democrats on a run for the party’s top Oversight Committee position, according to two people familiar with the situation.

Crockett’s entreaties — playing out in phone calls, text messages and floor conversations — mark the beginning of a contested race to succeed Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) as Oversight’s ranking member. Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts is also seeking the job, though Connolly — who announced plans to step aside after suffering a recurrence of esophageal cancer — has not yet formally done so.

Crockett said she wants to “educate” us on all the dark things going on in the Trump administration, not mentioning that she herself is under federal investigation for campaign finance violations.

Crockett has told other lawmakers that she’s “made for the moment,” the people said, an apparent reference to the desire among Democratic voters for more forceful resistance to President Donald Trump.

She told POLITICO in a text message that, while there isn’t a vacancy, “knowing that Rep Connolly doesn’t plan to seek re-election & knowing that our oversight powers are broad, I’m ready to shine a light on the very dark things taking place in our country under this administration.”

She added, “I wouldn’t want anyone to think that I’m not interested in leading our investigative body while also communicating & educating the country on our findings.”

Watch out, though, Jasmine—you could have another woke extremist coming for you—AOC, who said about the Oversight position Wednesday: it's “something that I’m weighing, but the seat is not yet vacated, and I think that’s a bridge we can cross when we get to it.” 

In other words, she’s probably running.

Watching these two intellectual powerhouses battle it out would be fantastic theater indeed. I thoroughly encourage both to fight for the job with everything they have.
