‘Squad’ Congresswoman Mortified As President Trump Is Sworn Into Office: ‘4 Years Of Hell’
SUMMARY
On Inauguration Day, the return of President Trump was a difficult moment for some members of the “Squad” in Congress. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) described the upcoming four years as “four years of hell,” telling her followers on X that she was taking a break from any news about the “orange man” to protect her peace. Despite her attempt to disengage, many followers responded critically, with some suggesting she move to BlueSky for a more like-minded community. Crockett, who has been outspoken on issues like DEI, had a tense moment last week on CNN when confronting a conservative analyst. Meanwhile, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) also expressed her frustration, posting on Instagram that the U.S. was heading toward an "authoritarian administration" and calling out questions about attending Trump's inauguration, stating, “I don’t celebrate rapists.” This post was later deleted.
