U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, whom many in the political world say is a “rising star” among Democrats, threw a tantrum in Congress Tuesday after she came in last place in her bid to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee.

In video of the committee posted online, Crockett is seen shouting foul language at her congressional colleagues who were urging her to “calm down.”

“No! Because this is what y’all do! So I’m trying to get clarification,” Crockett yelled.

“If you don’t want me to be … Don’t tell me to calm down! Because y’all talk noise and then you can’t take it. ‘Cause if I come and talk sh** about her, y’all gonna have a problem.”

JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett came in LAST PLACE in her run to become the top Democrat on the powerful House Oversight Committee

Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., admitted having physical trouble understanding his fellow lawmakers amid the commotion.

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed that I have two hearing aids,” Comer said. “I’m very deaf. I’m not understanding. Everybody’s yelling. I’m doing the best I can.”

Democrats selected Rep. Robert Garcia, D-Calif., as their ranking member on the 47-person panel.

Crockett told reporters: “It was clear by the numbers that my style of leadership is not exactly what they were looking for, and so I didn’t think that it was fair for me to then push forward and try to rebuke that.”

“They were clear that I was the one that made the least sense in their minds.

“I accept that, and I think that you have to make sure that you are going to be able to work with leadership if you are going to go into a leadership position,” she added.

“I think the people may be disappointed, but at the end of the day, we’ve got to move forward in this country, we’ve got to move forward for this world, and I don’t want to be an impediment.”

This was Crockett’s second defeat in looking to ascend the rungs of congressional leadership. She was looking to replace the committee’s former top Democrat, Gerry Connolly of Virginia, who died in May.

Journalist Nick Sortor reacted to Crockett’s tantrum, stating: “Running for Congress should require a minimum IQ. Crockett’s become the face of ghetto. And she seems to enjoy that for some reason. Texas needs to dump her a**.”

Others indicated:

“In the early round of voting Jasmine Crockett got 6 votes. One of them was from herself. She came in last to 76 year old Kweisi Mfume – who many people had never even heard of before. Maybe Trump should text her about this. ”

“Crockett thinks being vile and vulgar is an asset. It just makes her a loser.”

“Kamala 2.0.”

“Can they censure her for speaking out of turn and in ebonics?”

NEW: Jasmine Crockett is still struggling with the fact that she hasn’t received a “top secret” briefing yet about Iran, shows off her necklace to remind people she’s a Congresswoman.

Crockett was sad to tell her followers she had no “advanced” info about Iran.
