COATES: “Of course, congresswoman — I interrupted you, but President Trump, of course, has denied any allegations that he is a white supremacist, and that‘s why he apparently fired — “
Crockett: “I don’t care what he says. I don’t care what he says.”
COATES: “I know your point, but he did fire Darren Beattie in reaction, they believe, in part to his attendance at that conference. Does that change your opinion in any way?”
Crockett: “No, it doesn‘t change my opinion because we saw what he literally recently just posted. And the coddling is for the white boys. That‘s what‘s happening right now. I am tired of the white tears. Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned. When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don‘t feel a way and why you can‘t make me doubt who I am? It’s because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat. When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. And that is the life that we have always lived. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder. This is why they don‘t want us to have education. This is why they are trying to literally say, ‘We won‘t fund the HBCUs,’ because they know that if they‘ve already gone after affirmative action and they‘re saying, ‘You know what? Don‘t allow them to come into, say, these PWIs, as we call them, don‘t allow them to come into these institutions,’ we know why they created the HBCUs in the first place. It was because they wouldn‘t allow us into the white institutions. And so now they‘re not allowing us in and now they‘re saying, ‘You know what? We‘re also going to defund the HBCUs. You know why? Because they don‘t want any more Kamala Harrises, they don‘t want any more Jasmine Crocketts. But I got news for them. I don‘t care what they do. We will fight to the end to make sure that we get our due. Because again, if you want to talk about the people that shouldn‘t be in this country, you probably need to look in the mirror. Because the last time I checked, the Native Americans who some of ICE have been rounding up, or the Puerto Ricans, who are absolutely Americans, listen, the only people that came and colonized this place are your ancestors, Trump.”
