Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) suggests exempting blacks from taxes.
She then says maybe it's not the best idea because many blacks don't pay any taxes anyway… so maybe give free checks. pic.twitter.com/hPCNleGl1p

“Just this past week I saw, I don’t remember which celebrity, but it was actually a celebrity, and I was like, that’s not necessarily a bad idea, but I’d have to think through it a lot,” Crockett said in a video interview shared April 9 by X account End Wokeness. “One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes for a certain amount of time.”
“Because then again, that puts money back in your pocket,” said Crockett.
This is the very same Jasmine Crockett who, during a September 2023 hearing on the impeachment of Joe Biden said of the president and his son, Hunter Biden:
I will tell you what Joe Biden has been guilty of. He is unfortunately been guilty of loving his child unconditionally and that is the only evidence that they have brought forward. And honestly, I hope and pray that my parents love me half as much as he loves his child.
JUST IN: Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett ignores how the Biden family made millions by selling their name overseas and says the only crime Biden is guilty of is “loving his child unconditionally.”
We elect some of the dumbest people to Congress.
