Crockett
stated
, "The fact that he would not just say he may have been confused about a story because there's a different story that doesn't have anything to do with migrants whatsoever. He could have tried to do that. Instead, they just are trying to glaze over it."

The Texas representative described Trump's behavior during the debate as "unhinged," noting, "As he stood up there and made up lies, and then he went off on these crazy fantasies. Pretending as if — even if there was one person that had done that, why would you attribute an entire group of immigrants to potentially going out and stealing everybody's dogs and cats and eating them? That's insane!"

Crockett continued, "I don't know how you can watch this debate and be undecided."

"I could see how you walked in maybe undecided. After watching this, you have to be concerned that the most important position that we have in the world is president of the United States, and if we have somebody who literally doesn't know who our friends are and who is not our friends," Crockett concluded.
