Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said that she doesn’t feel safe “at all” in the wake of the weekend shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota — and she argued that President Donald Trump should “reprioritize” money spent on things like the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday celebration on extra security for members of Congress.

Crockett joined the cohosts of ABC’s “The View” for Thursday’s broadcast, where she referred to the Army’s 250th birthday celebration as President Trump’s “little birthday parade” as if he had simply been throwing himself a party. The show’s liberal cohosts made no attempt to correct her.

“Over the weekend, we saw a tragic and brazen act of political violence in this country,” cohost Sara Haines began. “A Minnesota Democratic representative and her husband and their dog were assassinated. Another lawmaker and his wife were gravely wounded, and the suspect had a long hit list. So, I want to ask you: Do you feel safe as an elected official in this political climate?”

“No, not at all,” Crockett replied. “Here’s the deal: I do this job and the fact that my safety is a part of doing this job is really bad in and of itself, but umm … while we spend millions upon millions just so this guy can go and golf or while they spent $45 million for his little birthday parade, you know, like, I’m just saying, can we reprioritize some of those dollars?”

Crockett went on to say that she wasn’t asking for a lot of money to be redirected, but noted that the only House members who were given any kind of security on an official basis were those who had leadership positions.

“We have nothing. The only people in the House that have protection, you get protection based upon your leadership post. That’s it. Those are the only ones,” she said. “So when you figure out security, you have to hopefully raise enough money to then be able to pay for security yourself. This is a problem, especially in light of the environment.”

“So I did text a Republican that I consider to be a friend — yes, I have Republican friends, just so y’all know. I did, and I said, ‘listen, your people need to fix this,'” she continued, making it clear that she believed the entirety of the threat was coming from the right. “Like, I’m tired, right? And there are Republicans that are concerned. To be clear, they’re not concerned about the radical leftists that they talk about. They’re concerned about MAGA, because we saw the same thing happen when we had the Speaker election, right? And so, when people are mad about them not voting for Jim Jordan, they started threatening their spouses and all kinds of stuff.”

“And another thing they’re not talking about that really ticked me off because I just learned about it in the midst of what happened is that someone has been sending pizzas to members’ homes and they’ve not done anything. So I’m just like, we still have a role to play. I get that nobody really likes the Congress, but I mean, we still are duly elected and we’re a co-equal branch of government, but we always seem like we’re the stepchild,” she concluded.

“Well, it makes it even more irresponsible knowing that as you said, they would come for a sophomore member of the House knowing that you’re not protected,” Haines agreed.

Cohost Joy Behar weighed in then, suggesting that Trump was “scared” of Crockett. “She’s tough and smart.”

“That doesn’t change the danger it puts her in,” Haines argued.

Crockett did rate a mention during the White House press briefing on Thursday, when Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt weighed in on her recent podcast appearance with Katie Couric (“Next Question”). Crockett had told Couric that Trump’s supporters were essentially proof that the United States was going through a “mental health crisis.”

Leavitt responded by laughing and saying, “I hope [Crockett] continues to be a rising star, at least for Republicans.”
