A Democratic congresswoman turned to soccer on Tuesday to support her claim that white supremacy is alive and well in modern culture.
During a congressional hearing titled “Rewriting American History: Examining the Smithsonian’s Efforts to Reshape the Past,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) defended recent changes made at the historic museum, stating, “Welcome to the Republicans’ white-pride rally.”
The hearing, which featured a back-and-forth debate between Republicans and Democrats over whether the Smithsonian has become too ‘woke’ or anti-white, saw Crockett use her limited time to ask Yale University history professor David Blight about the recent World Cup.
Crockett described how “the World Cup that captured the imaginations of the entire world when they saw all of these people of color that was [sic] playing for all these teams, and ultimately, if you recall, the last two teams, it was Argentina and Spain.”
