Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Abbott's Not Leading -- He's Taking Orders From a Criminal in the White House - CNN The Lead

Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls it like it is. Governor Abbott isn’t leading—he’s following orders from a “criminal in the White House.” In this interview, Crockett dismantles Abbott’s excuses for gutting voting rights, ignoring flood relief after more than 100 Texans died, and pushing a racist gerrymander designed to silence Black and Brown voters. She exposes how Republicans in Texas are cheating their way to power, targeting Black members of Congress, and violating both the Constitution and the Voting Rights Act—while failing the people they were elected to serve.

This isn’t leadership. This is a power grab. And Crockett makes it clear: they might win some battles, but they will lose the war. - Aired on 08/13/2025.
