MSNBC host Katie Phang recently engaged in an emotional interview with Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The interaction, described as emotional, centered around a retrospective of Crockett's past appearance on Phang's show three years ago. The segment featured Phang expressing gratitude to Crockett for her dedication to democracy, which moved both to tears.
The discussion touched on controversial comparisons, with Crockett mentioning a deported MS-13 member, Agrego Garcia, and drawing parallels to former President Trump. Crockett remarked, "As far as I’m concerned, he’s a lot less criminal than the person that’s sitting in the White House, because last time I checked, he doesn’t have any criminal convictions."
A clip shared by commentator Colin Rugg followed, highlighting their past interaction on the Katie Phang Show. Phang remarked, “That was you and I three years ago. That was your first time on the Katie Fang Show. This is the second-to-last episode of the show.” She further expressed appreciation for Crockett's ongoing support for democratic principles, stating, “Congresswoman, I wanted to thank you for always getting up early and delivering it, but I also wanna say thank you for your continuing support for democracy."
The exchange, viewed as advocacy rather than journalism by critics, drew attention for its emotional nature.
