Former NBC and CBS anchor Katie Couric welcomed Congresswoman and progressive hero Jasmine Crockett to her Thursday recording of the Next Question podcast. While podcasting may be growing in popularity as a way for people to get their news, the habit of anchors to sit back and do nothing as Democratic guests say outlandish things remains constant because Couric would simply sit there as Crockett accused President Trump’s supporters of being “sick” and part of the country’s mental health crisis.
Couric simply let Crockett rant after she asked, “I want to talk to you about some of the things that are going on in this country, Jasmine. Before you go, what do you think about what has happened in LA and calling up the National Guard, the Marines and basically saying this could happen in every state in our country?”
Crockett put on a façade that displayed heavy amounts of solemnity, “I truly have no words. You know, you grow up as a little girl and—you grow up as a little girl in this country, let me clarify that, and you think, 'man, this is a great place to live and it's only going to get better,' and then you become the adult version of me, and you have a president that is openly just a criminal, like not just the convictions he's got, consistently breaking laws, ignoring court orders, violating the Constitution, and doing it all because he really is seeking this retribution, this retribution that he campaigned on.”
