'Cost us $26M!' Jasmine Crockett spits 'fire' at Trump's golfing
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) slammed President Donald Trump for spending at least $26 million of taxpayer money to play golf in the first two months of his presidency.
During a DOGE subcommittee hearing chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Tuesday, Crockett wondered why Republicans were focused on dismantling government services instead of cutting waste generated by Trump's vacations.
"They are lighting the Social Security on fire, Medicaid on fire, Medicare on fire, 401(k)s on fire, Department of Education on fire," she explained. "And instead, what we need to light on fire are Trump's tariffs."
"In fact, we could probably go a little bit further," she continued. "Let's talk about the fact that as of March 30th, Trump's golfing has cost us approximately $26 million. And the last time I checked, we're not getting anything in return for that."

Crockett noted that Trump was "going to golf as the markets were tanking."
"He decided he was going to golf instead of receiving for heroes who died serving this country," she remarked. "He has decided that he wanted to play games while the rest of us are really trying to make sure that we can serve the American people."
