Extended interview: Jasmine Crockett talks through her first 2 weeks in Congress
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett spent the past week making stops to see people and places across parts of North Texas.
Crockett, officially two weeks into her new role in the U.S. House of Representatives, said she has been busy hitting the ground running for Texas' 30th congressional district.
“I’m feeling encouraged,” Crockett said as she took a break in her schedule for an interview with WFAA about her first days in office.
“What we saw that first week, the chaos, I absolutely believe that’s going to be an ongoing theme,” Crockett added.
Crockett spoke about the controversial election of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and the political drama that delayed the swearing-in ceremony for freshmen members of Congress.
“You know, we were sitting there with bated breath. Like, is it going to happen, because we were not privy to the conversations,” she explained.
After 15 rounds of voting, the GOP ultimately selected McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Congresswoman Crockett and her colleagues were officially sworn in around 2 a.m. on Jan. 7.
“The 118th didn’t have anybody that could be read in on anything because we weren’t sworn in. So, we were in a very vulnerable state, and we didn’t want to alarm the general public. But, we needed to get this done,” Crockett said.

I really like mrs crockett
Awesome
I am prejudiced when it comes to people like her. But the more I get to know Rep. Crockett, the more I think that my being so prejudiced is unfair, and I need to give people like her a chance. She’s great. I like her. I love her. So I’m checking my prejudiced views, and from now on I won’t jump to negative conclusions whenever I hear a person is a Texan. 😏

I WISH SHE REPRESENT VIRGINIA
This comments section is botted so hard.
Look Who They Have As House Speaker 😂 Trump puppet 😂.
Pelosi has her in the Pocket
I can believe she talked through her 1st 2 weeks. She doesn’t seem to have the ability to shut up. I have never heard her say anything intelligent. Is she just there to blabber on?
ROCK IT CROCKETT!
Jasmine Crockett is so real, I believe everything she says🙏
I wish she was a Maryland Congress woman 😞
