Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett from Texas didn’t hold back during an interview on MSNBC with Chris Hayes. She strongly criticized both President Donald Trump and the Supreme Court over their handling of the deportation case involving Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia, who was wrongly deported to El Salvador and imprisoned in a harsh facility, became the center of controversy after the administration ignored a Supreme Court order to bring him back to the U.S.
Crockett said the situation makes her feel like she’s “in an abusive relationship” and added that many Americans probably feel the same way about how the Trump administration and the Supreme Court are acting. She pointed out that the Supreme Court is facing a serious crisis of public trust and that tensions between the Court and the president are growing fast — possibly leading to a major showdown between the two branches of government.
She also highlighted how unusual it is for the Supreme Court to be fully united in a decision, showing how serious the situation is. Crockett didn’t hold back when talking about Trump’s actions either. Referring to Garcia’s deportation, she said, “If you could figure out how to get him down there, then you can figure out how to get him back.”
Later in the conversation, Crockett slammed congressional Republicans, saying she “can’t find a spine anywhere in the House.” She questioned why no one is publicly challenging Trump’s behavior or his mental state. She brought up his trade decisions like the “crazy tariff war” and compared the silence around Trump’s fitness for office to how often people question President Biden’s ability to lead.
Crockett argued that under Biden, at least Americans felt a sense of stability — their retirement savings weren’t being threatened and the country wasn’t constantly in chaos. Her comments sparked a lot of attention because they reflect growing frustration among some lawmakers and citizens with how things are being handled at the highest levels of government.
