Rep. Jasmine Crockett calls on illegals to pick her cotton because ‘we done picking cotton’

Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country… The fact is ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now… We done picking cotton.”

What did I just watch?

According to Black Enterprise:

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett has landed in hot water again for her words. The congresswoman was called out for a “cotton-picking” comment she made while defending immigration.

Crockett, who represents Texas’ 30th district, appeared at the Grace Baptist Church 125th anniversary program over the weekend to get real with her constituents. During her speech, she spoke about the necessity of migrants to the U.S. economy, despite Trump’s ongoing deportation threats. Onsite reposted the footage of her controversial remarks.

 

“So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is, ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now,” she said to attendees.

 

Noticing the silence, Crockett emphasized her assertion that Black Americans were not trying to fill the agricultural jobs that many migrants perform.

“Okay so i’m lying, raise your hands,” she jokingly questioned as the crowed began to laugh. “You’re not. We done picking cotton. We are. You can’t pay us enough to find a plantation.”

Number one, the thought of Crockett ‘educating’ anyone about anything at all is nausea-inducing.
