Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TGP/Jordan Conradson)
Lefty Rep. Jasmine Crockett may be overestimating her popularity within her own party. The media loves to showcase her because of her big, fat mouth, but when it comes down to real responsibility, members of her party don’t seem too interested in her.
Earlier this month, Crocket made it known that she wanted the position of House Oversight Chair. She vowed to use the position to go after Trump, naturally.
When her fellow Democrats finally had a chance to give her this job, they said no thanks.
The New York Post reports:
Lefty Rep. Jasmine Crockett loses bid to be top Dem on Oversight panel
Outspoken progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) dropped her bid Tuesday to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee after it became clear she lacked the votes.
“It was clear by the numbers that my style of leadership is not exactly what they were looking for, and so I didn’t think that it was fair for me to then push forward and try to rebuke that,” the lefty pol told reporters.
Democrats later anointed Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) to become their ranking member on the Oversight panel, replacing late Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), who died last month.
Crockett, who has a penchant for going viral during committee hearings with her incendiary rhetoric, had touted her ability to go on the offense during the internal party battle to succeed Connolly.
She acknowledged Tuesday that “people may be disappointed” by her loss but vowed to remain a “team player” nonetheless.
What a shame.

It’s hilarious that some people on the left keep calling Crockett the leader of her party. She couldn’t even secure this position with members of her own party. Her popularity is a total mirage.
