WATCH: Jasmine Crockett imagines what Republicans ‘would have done to a little baby Jesus’
The fate of baby Jesus may have been very different if Republicans were in charge some 2,000 years ago.
That’s the opinion of U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who appeared Sunday on MS Now.
“I just want to be clear. This is the [Republican] party that says that they care so much about life until life actually shows up at their front door,” Crockett said.
“And this is also the party that is supposedly about Christianity and I just imagine what they would have done to a little baby Jesus but that’s a whole other issue.”

Crockett was discussing a report last week claiming hundreds of immigrants children were being held in federal detention centers.
ProPublica reported: “Since the start of this year, some 600 immigrant children have been placed in government shelters by ICE, according to government data. That figure, which has not been previously reported, is already higher than the tally for the previous four years combined. And it is the highest number since recordkeeping began a decade ago.”
Crockett went on to say: “It is really so heartbreaking. We know that under the prior Trump administration, it was the children in cages.
“So for me, expecting them to do better by children was not one of the things that was on my bingo card.”
As WorldNetDaily reported in 2019, it was actually former President Barack Obama who put kids in cages.
Obama’s top official in charge of removing illegal aliens has confirmed the “cages” used to detain juveniles who are in the country illegally were established by the Obama administration.
“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under [Homeland Security] Secretary Jeh Johnson,” said Tom Homan, Obama’s executive associate director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“I was there … when it was built,” he said, reported Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner.
Homan is currently the White House border czar in the administration of President Donald Trump.
