(Crankers) Jasmine Crockett proved once again she is unfit for office after she exposed her true colors and got fact checked by CNN on TV.
She was talking about the recent Jeffrey Epstein emails that were released and mention Trump when she suggested that Republicans redacted a name. CNN reminded her that Democrats actually did that.
A clip from a recent CNN interview has been circulating, and it sparked a whole round of fact-checks after Crockett made a claim about who redacted certain names in the newly released Epstein documents. Let’s break down what she said, what’s true, and why this turned into such a political mess.
During the segment, Crockett argued that Republicans were responsible for redacting a name connected to the Epstein case, specifically the name of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most public accusers. She also implied this was part of some wider effort to protect Donald Trump by hiding information.
That’s the moment the fact-check alarms started going off.
CNN pushed back on her claim. According to multiple reports, including detailed breakdowns from the New York Post, the redaction she accused Republicans of making was actually done by Democrats.
That’s a pretty big detail to get wrong, especially when you’re pointing fingers on national television.
Giuffre’s own memoir states that Donald Trump had no involvement in the abuses she suffered. She said Trump was never one of Epstein’s co-conspirators and never harmed her in any way.
So Crockett’s attempt to tie the redaction to some broader “protecting Trump” narrative just didn’t line up with the documented facts.
Watching Rep. Jasmine Crockett get fact-checked to her face on CNN of all places was just the icing on the cake.
CNN: “She did not accuse [Trump] of any wrongdoing.”
Crockett: “I don’t know why they would necessarily redact someone’s name who is deceased at this point.
CNN: “The Democrats redacted.”
Crockett: **gibberish cover-up attempt**
