Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, D-Dallas, delivered her first DNC speech at the convention’s opening night on Monday, July 19. In a post on X, Crockett called it a “roller coaster of emotions speech,” confessing that she was a “nervous wreck” prior to stepping on stage. However, her 10-minute monologue was remarkably powerful, establishing poignant points of contrast between VP Kamala Harris and Former President Donald Trump.
True to the fierce nature she has displayed on the House’s floor, Crockett didn’t mince her words. One netizen, echoing others online, replied to Crockett’s post, writing, “You were absolutely amazing, emotional, touching, powerful. You hit and checked all the boxes. Congratulations.”
If it hadn’t been clear before, Crockett proved she is a force to be reckoned with when she put Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene in her place with a sarcasm-laced alliteration in a House hearing clip that quickly went viral. With her recent speech at Chicago’s United Center, she once again proved her grit as a politician.
Crockett is youthful in both appearance and disposition, making some people wonder how old the Congresswoman is. She has been around for longer and has a more extensive career than some may assume.
