U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) delivered a scathing rebuke on the House floor Tuesday, where she accused several prominent Republicans, including former presidential nominees and a former president, of taking money from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Crockett leveled the allegations while arguing against a GOP resolution to censure Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), which she labeled a “distraction” and questioned the “moral high ground” of those involved. She then listed several Republicans, claiming her team had quickly reviewed FEC filings.
“Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly,” Crockett stated, before citing a list that included:
- Mitt Romney
- George Bush
- Lee Zeldin
- John McCain
- Sarah Palin
- Rick Lazio
She also included Republican political organizations such as the NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) and Win Red in her list of alleged recipients. The Texas Representative framed the focus on other matters as an attempt by the “guardians of pedophiles” to “protect pedophiles.”
She specifically referenced President Donald Trump’s connection to Epstein, stating they “were besties” and that Trump’s name is mentioned in Epstein’s files “way more” than the individual being discussed on the floor.
Rep. Crockett concluded her remarks with a stern warning to her political opponents about the potential for further revelations.
“If this is the standard that we going to make, just know we going to expose it all,” she said, adding that the FEC filings supporting her claims are “available for everybody to review.”
