During her appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Democrat congresswoman Jasmine Crockett criticized the Republican framing of transgender athletes as a threat, calling it a distraction from pressing issues. Her comments were in the context of a congressional hearing on trans athletes, which she argued was unnecessary. Highlighting mistakes by the administration, she contrasted her focus on real problems with that of Trump, all while using humor to emphasize her points. Crockett's critique underscored her commitment to addressing genuine issues rather than engaging in divisive rhetoric.
"I wanted to be clear, there was no reason we were having a hearing about who can play what sports. I wanted to redirect and make sure the American people knew that this was nothing but a distraction. Sometimes coming up with something very plain and very simple is the best way to go. That's why I did it."
"I needed to keep it simple. Especially when trying to send a message to him [Trump], gotta keep it very simple," she joked.
