"I mean, we know that they admitted that they were wrong. Now they’re trying to double back and say, ‘Well, he’s this terrible person and all this kind of stuff.’ But here’s the reality. 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," Crockett said of the deported Garcia.
The interview also featured Crockett tearing up after Phang offered her praise for her "continuing support for democracy" on what was likely Crockett’s last appearance on the recently canceled show.
But the interview wasn’t well-received by many users on X, with one user calling the whole segment a "clown show."

"You can’t have me crying at the beginning of a show. Jasmine. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, you’re not... You haven’t seen the last of me. Thank you for being here and getting us started today. I always appreciate you," Phang said.
Crockett's office did not immediately respond to a Fox News Digital request for comment.
