"“I needed to keep it simple,” she explained, before adding a dig at Donald Trump's intelligence, “especially when I'm trying to send a message to him. Gotta keep it very simple.”"
"“I wanted to be clear,” she said, “there was no reason we were having a hearing about who can play what sports... I wanted to redirect and make sure the American people knew that this was nothing but a distraction. Sometimes, coming up with something very plain and very simple is probably the best way to go. So that's why I did it.”"
"“I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to tell me whether it is Trump or trans people that are responsible,” Crockett told National Women's Law Center CEO, Fatima Goss Graves."
"The list included “gutt[ing] medical research”; “kidnapping Americans and sending them to foreign countries, AKA deporting them”; “Driving us into a recession”; “increasing the cost of everything”; “waging an idiotic tariff war”."
Rep. Jasmine Crockett described creating the “Trump or Trans” game to keep a message clear and simple while addressing a viral hearing moment. She said the hearing should not focus on who can play sports, and that the goal was to show it was a distraction. The hearing on trans athletes was led by a House Oversight subcommittee tied to government efficiency, which drew confusion about the connection to the topic. Crockett asked Fatima Goss Graves to identify whether Trump or trans people were responsible for major national problems. The problems listed included cutting medical research, deporting people by kidnapping them and sending them abroad, driving the country into recession, raising costs, and waging an ineffective tariff war.
