'Okay, this isn't real': Dem lawmaker stunned by 'childish' Trump social media post

During an appearance on MSNBC, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed surprise and dismay that someone in Donald Trump's White House posted a meme screenshot that made fun of Kilmer Abrego Garcia and his incarceration in El Salvador.

Speaking with host Katie Phang, Crockett was asked about the screenshot of a New York Times headline that has been altered to say Abrego Garcia is "never coming back," from the maximum security prison where he has been held.

After Phang had her producers show the post, Crockett pounced. on the post on the official White House account.

"One of my colleagues actually put this post up in a group chat and I was like, 'Okay, this isn't real, right?'" she told the host. "Because it was just a picture. and then she was like, 'No, it's absolutely real.' and I was like, 'who are we and where are we living? And who is running this country?'"

"Because the level of childishness that we saw in this post, but also just the level of cruelty and the level of admission that we've seen, right?" she added, "Like Katie, you and I both know that ultimately, this is not the last that we have seen of this post. This post will most likely show up in some court filing when they are trying to determine whether or not this court has –– or I'm sorry –– this administration has intentionally decided that it wanted to ignore a court order."

She then added, "This will most likely show up in a contempt hearing, so I don't know why, I don't know who's advising or I don't know if they really do care."
