Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who many leftists see as the future of the Democratic party, on Wednesday made a scathing statement on the floor of the House naming members of the GOP who had received money from “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly: Mitt Romney. The NRCC. Lee Zeldin. George Bush. McCain-Palin. … Rick Lazio. I just want to be clear: If this is the standard that we gonna make just know we gonna expose it all and just know that the FEC filings they are available for everybody to review,” she hyperventilated.

Jeffrey Epstein died on August, 10 2019.
The donations from a DIFFERENT Jeffrey Epstein were made over the next year: 🤨 pic.twitter.com/w8vDKhS4on— Marla Hohner (@marlahohner) November 19, 2025
Oof. @JasmineForUS is disastrously wrong here. None of these donors are *the* Jeffrey Epstein. Several are from the same Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, and the donations to Lee Zeldin are from after *the* Epstein killed himself. https://t.co/RES7GyTQMy pic.twitter.com/OSuTywr3D7

“From 1989 up until 2003, Epstein donated more than $139,000 to Democratic federal candidates and committees and over $18,000 to Republican candidates and groups, according to data from OpenSecrets,” Open Secrets reported in 2018.
Crockett’s attacks on the GOP have included moments such as this one from last June, when former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone said at a town hall, “Republicans want poor people to die as quickly as humanly possible,” prompting Crockett to reply, “I agree. I don’t think that is a glitch, but that’s actually part of the design.”
Last March, Crockett infamously called Texas GOP Governor Greg Abbott — who has been confined to a wheelchair since he was permanently disabled in his 20s when a tree fell on him — “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Speaking at a Human Rights Campaign event in Los Angeles, Crockett mocked Abbott: “Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, C’mon now.”
“And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-a** mess, honey,” she continued.
People online quickly pointed out that her later claim that she was not talking about Abbott’s disability was likely false, given that she had recently engaged with content from a critic of Abbott that specifically mentioned his wheelchair.
The post in question showed Abbott at the White House in his wheelchair, attending an event where the president signed an executive order starting the dismantlement of the Department of Education.
“Rolling up to the White House to cheer on the president destroying the agency that makes sure kids in wheelchairs have equal access to education is wild,” the post said. Crockett reposted and “liked” the post, according to screenshots shared by the original poster.
