Jasmine Crockett Defends TikTok Video, Criticizes Fetterman's Remarks

The Texas congresswoman pushed back against the Pennsylvania senator's critique, highlighting his casual attire and Senate rule changes.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) defended her participation in a TikTok video featuring Democratic lawmakers, stating it was intended to show their human side.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) criticized the video as 'bizarre' and called out Democrats for what he described as undignified behavior in Congress.
Crockett responded by pointing to Fetterman's casual attire, noting Senate dress code changes made to accommodate his preference for hoodies.
She emphasized that the video was not filmed on the House floor and argued that moments of lightheartedness are important for lawmakers.
Fetterman has faced criticism for his evolving political positions and recent breaks with the Democratic caucus on key issues, including a Republican-led funding bill.
