Jasmine Crockett hails Trump’s verdict with ‘Hallelujah’ and criticizes ‘broke’ donors

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sang “Hallelujah” on Monday in response to a question about the recent guilty verdict in the Manhattan trial against former President Donald Trump and went on to attack his “broke” donors for supporting him financially.

In an interview on the Breakfast Club radio show, Crockett began singing joyfully after being asked about her thoughts on the former president’s conviction.

“Am I allowed to sing?” Crockett asked and then began singing, “Hallelujah!”

The Texas Democratic lawmaker went on to slam his supporters.

“Listen, you know, I mean, I guess it made it worse since those broke people decided that they was going to give they last $5 and donate to him and crash his website to the extent that he got a bunch more money just to pay for his appeals process, not to go into the election,” she said.

Crockett added, “So, it’s between Joe and it’s between Trump. And the fact that we have someone who has 34 felony counts worth of convictions, and literally there’s places — Eric Swalwell just brought this up in committee. He’s like, it’s a whole list of countries you can’t even go to. So how are you going to be the leader of the free world and you not even allowed to step foot in certain countries because you’re a convicted felon?”

On May 30, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records. After his verdict, his donation page was overloaded with traffic and crashed as his supporters attempted to donate to him. He raised a record $34.8 million from small-dollar donors in the hours after the announcement.

However, not all of his donations have been small-dollar amounts since the trial. Last week, he visited California and saw big-dollar donors in San Francisco, Beverly Hills, and Newport Beach.
