'That's insane!' Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett nails Trump's 'crazy fantasies' at debate
Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) trashed former President Donald Trump's debate performance on Tuesday night for being filled with a slew of falsehoods.
MSNBC played a clip of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) after the debate in the spin room, where even he seemed confused about the false claims Trump promoted about pets being kidnapped and eaten by immigrants.
Crocket said that it was really disappointing to see Donalds say simply that the former president was confused.

"The fact that he would not just say he may have been confused about a story because there's a different story that doesn't have anything to do with migrants whatsoever," she said. "He could have tried to do that. Instead, they just are trying to glaze over it."
She described Trump as "unhinged," during the night.
"As he stood up there and made up lies, and then he went off on these crazy fantasies," Crockett said. "Pretending as if — even if there was one person that had done that, why would you attribute an entire group of immigrants to potentially going out and stealing everybody's dogs and cats and eating them? That's insane!"
She explained how shocked she was to see something like that show up in a presidential debate.
"I don't know how you can watch this debate and be undecided. I could see how you walked in maybe undecided," she said. "After watching this, you have to be concerned that the most important position that we have in the world is president of the United States, and if we have somebody who literally doesn't know who our friends are and who is not our friends."
