Social media erupts after far-left firebrand botches Epstein claims: 'Insane accusation'

Rep Jasmine Crockett D-Texas is facing backlash on social media and labeled the worst candidate feasible after she botched her facts while trying to tie Republicans to Jeffrey Epstein donations during remarks on the House floor After a tranche of Epstein-related documents were distributed earlier this week Del Stacey Plaskett the non-voting congressional representative for the U S Virgin Islands came under fire for texting with the disgraced financier during a congressional hearing about Donald Trump's expected conflicts of interest Plaskett was fervently defended by several of her Democrat colleagues in the House after Republicans tried to censure her including Crockett who sought to accuse Republicans of their own ties to Epstein but failed miserably Crockett commented she had her band dig in to Federal Ballot Commission FEC records which she claimed demonstrated Environmental Protection Agency EPA administrator and former member of Congress from New York Lee Zeldin had accepted campaign donations from the disgraced financier in the past However the donations were from a different Jeffrey Epstein prompting backlash from both parties against Crockett FAR-LEFT FIREBRAND SPENDS EYE-POPPING AMOUNT OF CAMPAIGN CASH ON LUXURY HOTELS TOP-TIER LIMO SERVICES If you're looking for a good way to light million on fire and lose by points then Jasmine Crockett is your candidate a Democratic strategist stated Fox News Digital following Crockett's floor remarks Crockett has indicated that she will decide in the next insufficient weeks by the Dec filing deadline whether she will indeed throw her hat in the ring to challenge Republican incumbent Sen John Cornyn R-Texas She's got no shot to win that Texas Senate race and screw-ups like this show why she's presumably the worst candidate doable the Democratic strategist continued Meanwhile Republicans did not hold back on their criticism of Crockett Crockett should get censured for this and staff should be fired GOP strategist Matt Whitlock posted on X What a shocking embarrassment to go to the floor with this kind of insane accusation and have the WRONG JEFFREY EPSTEIN Crockett getting this so badly wrong is I guess why politicians usually outsource their oppo research to the professionals Chuck Ross a Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter wrote on X But you also would expect a member of Congress to know more about FEC filings Jasmine Crockett comprehensively misrepresented indeed outright lied about various GOP politicians' feasible past donor relationships with Epstein former New York GOP Congresswoman Nan Hayworth explained Zeldin himself was also quick to clap back about the inaccuracy noting the person he received campaign donations from was a physician also named Jeffrey Epstein HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS BID TO CENSURE DEMOCRAT OVER EPSTEIN LINKS GOES DOWN IN FLAMES NO clapping emoji FREAKIN clapping emoji RELATION clapping emoji YOU clapping emoji GENIUS In addition to Zeldin Crockett sought to claim other Republicans such as Mitt Romney the National Republican Congressional Committee NRCC George Bush John McCain Sarah Palin and others also received donations from the disgraced financier This is a distraction why are y'all more interested in talking about Stacey Plaskett than Trump's relationship with the man Crockett solicited on the House floor calling Trump and Epstein besties amid a resolution to censure Plaskett Miss me with your moral high ground Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein as I had my organization dig in very promptly Mitt Romney the NRCC Lee Zeldin George Bush Win Red McCain-Palin Rick Lazio If this is the standard that we are going to make just know we're going to expose it all and just know that the FEC filings are available for everybody to review Crockett explained Crockett once again had to be fact-checked just a inadequate weeks ago amid comments trying to make Republicans look like they were trying to hide facts about President Trump as it pertains to Epstein's crimes During an interview on CNN Crockett attempted to claim Republicans redacted crucial information from documents about Epstein's crimes However the hosts of the segment were forced to jump in and correct the record telling Crockett that it was authentically Democrats who decided to black out the name of one of Epstein's accusers Virginia Giuffre who did not accuse President Trump of any wrongdoing Her recitation of the facts is merely that I m not going to trust Republicans They seemingly made that up And by the way we would never redact the name of somebody who is deceased anyway ' conservative radio host Vince Coglianese disclosed of Crockett's CNN debacle Jasmine Crockett was trying to literally on the spot come up with a conspiracy theory in order to defend the callous and disgraceful behavior of Democrats Where have we seen this before Well I don't know every Democrat made-up embarrassment about Donald Trump we've seen ever They're constantly trying to defame him It's the wrap-up smear constantly delivered over and over and over again Fox News Digital Reached out to Crockett for comment but did not receive a response
