BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett torches Mike Johnson for being “full of sh*t” and says that he “violated the Constitution” with his Epstein files behavior.
In a fiery and unflinching interview on CNN Tuesday, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett unleashed a scathing critique of House Speaker Mike Johnson, accusing him of obstructing justice, violating the Constitution, and prioritizing political protection over the victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Her remarks have sparked a political firestorm, drawing attention to the ongoing struggle over the release of sensitive documents related to the Epstein estate.
Crockett’s ire came into the spotlight when CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked her to respond to Johnson’s recent comments about the Epstein discharge petition. According to Johnson, he had “never tried to kill the discharge petition” to force the Epstein bill onto the House floor for a vote. Instead, he reportedly said he shared former President Donald Trump’s concerns about the bill’s provisions.
Crockett, however, dismissed Johnson’s statements as disingenuous. “I would cuss, but I’m not going to. I’m gonna just say he’s full of it. Number one—” she began, her voice firm and commanding. When Tapper interjected that cable television allows for expletives, Crockett laughed but held her ground, ultimately deciding to go all in. “Okay, I’m gonna do it. He’s full of sh*t,” she said, her words resonating with a mix of humor and righteous anger.
Crockett’s criticism centered on what she described as Johnson’s consistent efforts to shield political figures, including Trump, from accountability. She highlighted that Johnson had refused to swear in newly elected members of Congress in certain instances, effectively denying representation to constituents and prompting legal action from the affected states. “He violated the Constitution to avoid this,” Crockett asserted. “So miss me on pretending that this is about the victims.”
The Congresswoman’s outrage was further fueled by Republican actions surrounding the limited information released from the Epstein estate. While the released documents had victims’ names redacted, Republicans allegedly attempted to expose identities, prompting family members of victims to publicly object. “The Republicans did that to the extent that the victim’s family had to come out against them for revealing potentially her name. So they’re full of it,” Crockett said.
This episode underscores a broader political struggle as lawmakers navigate the intersection of legal accountability, congressional procedure, and the potential political fallout for both parties. The Epstein files have been a lightning rod for controversy, with Democrats pushing for transparency and Republicans accused of obstructing access to protect Trump’s legacy. Crockett did not mince words about the implications for Johnson and his party.
“So right now what I think is going to happen,” Crockett said, “the only reason that he has switched [positions] is because, obviously, he has had lots of conversations—either the Senate is not going to take it up, or they don’t have the votes in the Senate. One of the two. But he never plans for this to actually go forward.”
Legal experts have noted that a Republican-controlled Senate could indeed play a decisive role in whether the Epstein files are ultimately released. If the Senate blocks the documents, it could shield Trump temporarily but at a significant political cost. Conversely, if the files are released, they could expose damaging information about Trump and other political figures.
“This is a lose-lose scenario for the GOP,” said Dr. Felicia Rivera, a political analyst at the University of Texas. “If they block the release, they appear to be protecting someone accused of horrific crimes. If they allow it, they confirm suspicions about Trump’s involvement or association. Either outcome could have severe consequences for their electoral prospects.”
Crockett’s remarks have reignited debates over congressional transparency and accountability. Advocates for the victims argue that delaying or obstructing the release of documents not only undermines justice but also erodes public trust in the legislative process. “This isn’t just politics,” Crockett said. “This is about human lives. This is about victims who deserve to see justice done, not used as pawns in a political game.”
The controversy has also drawn national attention to Johnson’s leadership style. Critics contend that his actions reflect a pattern of prioritizing party loyalty and the protection of high-profile allies over constitutional duties and ethical obligations. Supporters, however, maintain that Johnson is navigating complex legal terrain and is constrained by procedural and political realities.
“Congresswoman Crockett is speaking her truth,” said Riveria. “But from a procedural standpoint, these issues are incredibly complicated. The interplay between House procedures, discharge petitions, and Senate control creates a bottleneck that can be frustratingly slow for those seeking justice.”
Even as the legal and procedural debate continues, Crockett’s interview captured widespread attention on social media. Clips of her remarks quickly went viral, resonating with voters frustrated by political obstruction and perceived indifference to victims’ rights. Public response has ranged from admiration for her boldness to condemnation from partisan opponents, highlighting the polarized climate surrounding the Epstein files.
“The fact that a sitting House Speaker is being accused of violating the Constitution to avoid confronting sexual abuse cases is staggering,” said political commentator Evan Cole. “Crockett’s comments are a wake-up call that these aren’t just procedural disagreements—they’re matters of accountability and justice.”
As the Epstein files debate continues, the stakes remain high for all parties involved. Republicans face pressure to justify any obstruction, while Democrats push for full transparency and accountability. For Congresswoman Crockett, the fight is personal as well as political, reflecting her broader commitment to victims’ rights and government transparency.
“This is about more than politics,” Crockett said at the close of her interview. “It’s about doing the right thing. And right now, the right thing is releasing these files, protecting the victims, and holding everyone accountable—no exceptions.”
With the nation watching and the clock ticking, the outcome of this battle over the Epstein files could have far-reaching implications—not just for Trump or the Republican Party, but for the public’s trust in the institutions meant to uphold justice. For Crockett, there is no compromise: the pursuit of truth and accountability must come first, even in the face of political resistance.
