Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett burst into a loud rant during a House Oversight Committee markup session Wednesday in regards to the Dismantle DEI Act and similar legislation, asserting that “there has been no oppression for the white man in this country.”
Crockett screeched “You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white man was dragged out of their homes. You tell me which white man got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are gonna go and work, we are gonna steal your wives, we are gonna rape your wives. That didn’t happen. That is oppression!”
“We didn’t ask to be here,” Crockett continued to yell, adding “We aren’t the same migrants that y’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen.”
She further proclaimed, “So yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you are gonna sit here and act like, and don’t let it escape you that it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y’all are the ones being oppressed, that y’all are the ones being harmed.”
