What the hell is this, woman? Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was exceptional, as she always is, at wasting everyone’s time on matters that don’t exist. I don’t know why this was brought up, but she did. Crockett used a hearing about the Smithsonian to drop an inaccurate lecture about racism.

REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: “If you recall, the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain, and it seemed like the vast majority of the world was rooting for Argentina- or actually against Argentina, right?”
“And why was that? Just give me an explanation. If you could guess.”
PROF. DAVID BLIGHT: “Spain had the best team. Maybe that's why they were rooting for them?”
REP. JASMINE CROCKETT: “There's also a racist history”
I can see why she’s not the Democrat nominee in the Texas U.S. Senate race, another contest Ms. Crockett said she lost because of racism. It’s annoying to the extreme, but this stuff is pure comedy.
Someone still needs media training…and sports training and history training. https://t.co/oanZh4tklO
