Rep. Jasmine Crockett exposes Trump's Venezuela War: "Illegal, Corrupt, and Costing Lives" - Rep. Jasmine Crockett

[Rhiannon12866]

In a forceful opening statement, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett lays out the case against Donald Trump’s unauthorized military action in Venezuela — calling it illegal, unconstitutional, and driven by corruption, not national security.

Crockett details the civilian deaths, the billions in taxpayer costs, the lack of congressional approval, and the administration’s own data contradicting claims about drugs and security threats. She argues the operation had no legal basis, did not protect Americans, and instead enriched corporate interests while putting U.S. service members at risk.

With students in the room, Crockett closes with a stark reminder: two wrongs do not make a right, and the rule of law cannot be optional — even for a president. - 03/18/2026.
