Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Republicans Chose Chaos Over Care. Now Americans Are Paying the Price - CNN Laura Coates Live
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett joined Laura Coates Live on CNN to break down the longest government shutdown in U.S. history — and to call out the Republican dysfunction that’s leaving millions of Americans behind.
From SNAP benefits to rising health-care costs, Rep. Crockett exposes how GOP leadership chose chaos over care — protecting billionaires while everyday families struggle to afford food, rent, and medicine. She also responds to Marjorie Taylor Greene’s sudden “change of heart,” reminding viewers that the same Republicans now crying foul voted for the Big Ugly Bill that sent premiums skyrocketing.
And when asked about newly elected Mayor Mamdani, Rep. Crockett gives credit where it’s due — praising his communication, passion, and connection with working-class voters. Her message to Democrats nationwide? Learn from leaders who speak with heart and organize with purpose.
Watch as Rep. Crockett calls out hypocrisy, uplifts the working class, and reminds America that leadership means showing up for the people who put you there. - 11/07/2025.
