There is nothing better than a good smackdown unless it's one delivered with a whole load of facts, figures, statistics and a health dose of snark. Which means that Rep. Jasmine Crockett is in a class of her own in that department. Watch the beautiful way she systematically dismantles the GOP false narrative to support their transphobia:
CROCKETT: The final points that I was going to make, is while this amendment has to do with civil rights, for whatever reason, the colleague on the other side of the aisle decided to attack Democrats and pretend as if we do not look out for women, and I want to be clear that it's Democrats that were pushing for the Equal Rights Amendment, and I don't recall any Republicans supporting us having the Equal Rights Amendment.
I also want to make it clear that just because someone fantasizes or wants to be dramatic about the idea of someone could be a, quote unquote, man in a locker room or in a bathroom, I've yet to hear an actual testimony of someone who, for whatever reason, has experienced this in real time.
But I can tell you some real numbers and some real facts because I don't like to live in fantasy when I'm talking about how I'm going to govern for the American people.
