Liberal loudmouth Rep. Jasmine Crockett gave a mind-boggling explanation
for why she accused Lee Zeldin and other Republicans on the House floor
of taking donations from Jeffrey Epstein rCo desperately insisting she
never said she was referring to the late convicted pedophile.

Crockett (D-Texas) tried to defend herself Wednesday night in a CNN
appearance after she was ripped for boldly implying that sherCOd found evidence linking the Long Island Republican and other prominent GOPers
to the disgraced financier, who died in 2019.

rCLListen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,rCY Crockett told rCLThe SourcerCY host Kaitlan Collins after being given the chance to
correct the record.

rCLJust so that people understand, when you make a donation, your picture
is not there. And because they decided to spring this on us, in real
time, I wanted the Republicans to think about what could potentially
happen, because I knew that they didnrCOt even try to go through the
[Federal Election Commission].rCY

The lawmaker, who has publicly stated she is considering a Senate run
next year, then brazenly tried to blame the GOP for making her
statements the record without verifying them.

rCLSo my team, what they did is they Googled, and that is specifically why
I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans, I at least donrCOt go out
and just tell lies,rCY she told Collins. rCLBecause it was not the same one? ThatrCOs fine. But when Lee Zeldin had something to say, all he had to say was, it was a different Jeffrey Epstein. He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein. So, at least I wasnrCOt trying to
mislead people rCa I literally had maybe 20 minutes before I had to do
that debate.rCY

Crockett made the jaw-dropping remarks Tuesday night in defense of
Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-USVI), who was facing censure by the House
after text messages released last week revealed Epstein coached her
through questioning of President TrumprCOs then-fixer, Michael Cohen,
during a February 2019 House Oversight Committee hearing.

rCLFolks 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, WinRed, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio,rCY she said after Republicans
revealed that supporters of now-House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries
(D-NY) invited Epstein to a private meet-and-greet in 2013.
