When you've already dug the hole deep, you probably shouldn't keep digging.
But Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) hasn't learned that lesson.
She appeared on MS NOW's The Weekend show with host Jacqueline Alemany. Alemany gave her a chance to clear up her ridiculous Jeffrey Epstein donation claims that she made before Thanksgiving. She had previously tried to link "Jeffrey Epstein" donations to Republicans, but of course, they weren't donations from the convicted sex offender but donations from other people with the same name.
Lee Zeldin Goes Scorched Earth With Blistering Response to Jasmine Crockett's Absurd Epstein Claim
Crockett claimed this came up because Republicans wanted to kick Democratic Delegate from the Virgin Islands, Stacey Plaskett, off her committees for having a donation from Epstein. Of course, that wasn't the only problem; it was because Plaskett had been texting with Epstein during a congressional hearing long after his sexual predator issues had become widely known. But thanks for noting that donation, Jasmine, for the MS NOW audience.

“I had maybe 20 minutes. We researched the FEC and, because I like to speak with specificity — that’s kind of what comes with being an attorney — I made clear that there was a Jeffrey Epstein,” Crockett said. “They knew on the other side that I did not have time to actually pull up and actually research, especially since that particular one that Lee Zeldin got up in an uproar about was specifically out of the New York area. We know that he was out of that area and this obviously was not done post Jeffrey Epstein’s life, so I made sure that I said ‘a Jeffrey Epstein.'”
What is she talking about? It was a donation "post Jeffrey Epstein's life" — it was the year after the sex offender died.
Then she admitted what she was trying to do.
“But you were trying to insinuate that it was the Jeffrey Epstein,” Alemany pressed.
“Oh, I absolutely was insinuating that it could be possible. That is true,” Crockett admitted. “But the point is, I never said that it was that specific one because I did not have the adequate time to do it. And so the Jeffrey Epstein has stepped forward and that’s not like, you know, a normal name. And I think that what would have been problematic is if I would have claimed that, say, that happened and it legitimately never happened. So ultimately, he cleared the record. I have not researched further. I’ve not talked to this doctor.”
She finished off by saying, “I can agree that Lee Zeldin has said that he’s not received money from the Jeffrey Epstein," not that it had irrefutably been proven that it wasn't the Jeffrey Epstein.
Zeldin, now the EPA Administrator, just leveled her in response.
In her latest defense of the indefensible, Genius Jasmine Crockett, JD, now claims the donation I received from Dr. Jeffrey Epstein was BEFORE the other Jeffrey Epstein died. That is a LIE and she knows it, hoping there would be no push back from the TV host. The FEC record she… https://t.co/03rkO58qtK

In her latest defense of the indefensible, Genius Jasmine Crockett, JD, now claims the donation I received from Dr. Jeffrey Epstein was BEFORE the other Jeffrey Epstein died. That is a LIE and she knows it, hoping there would be no push back from the TV host. The FEC record she has cited as her source shows the date of the donation I received as well AFTER the other Jeffrey Epstein was dead.
Also, note that at the end she says, “I can agree that Lee Zeldin has said that he didn’t receive money from THE Jeffrey Epstein”, implying that her lie could still be true even though it’s obviously not, even though she previously conceded that I “cleared the record”, AND even though the record she has referenced herself as her source says the donation I received was from a physician who donated to me AFTER the other Jeffrey Epstein was dead.
Well said. This was an effort to deflect from the Democrats' own Epstein problem. She should be censured; this is conduct unbecoming. She's admitting she didn't care about what the facts were, just what she could insinuate. Zeldin didn't deserve to be dragged into this, nor did the doctor.
As we reported, Dr. Jeffrey Epstein did give her some payback.

He gave her a small donation so that she, too, now has a donation from "Jeffrey Epstein."
