Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) called President Donald Trump a “piece of s***” during larger comments about what she views as a lack of checks against Trump.
“Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit, OK?” Crockett said.“We know that. Yes, yes! He is, he is! But in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this.”

Crockett was speaking at an event hosted by liberal political action group MoveOn in Phoenix.
In these comments, she was mostly speaking on the Supreme Court, which she said was “complacent” with the Trump administration.
“He’s been able to get away with this because the House Republicans are complicit. He’s been to get away with this because Senate Republicans are complicit. But most importantly, the courts — especially the Supreme Court — is complicit!” Crockett said.

“They are the highest court in the land, and they have no ethics guardrails. Now you go down to the lower courts, and they do. How much sense does that make? Well, we know that they’re taking money. We have the paper trail. And they refuse to put guardrails on themselves. So it’s time for us to do it for them,” she continued.
Crockett, a two-term congresswoman, has become one of the most outspoken critics of Trump among House Democrats.
