With Crockett, the tone is basically \u201cHey, when can we get the swag lol?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The whole entire incident and how the aftermath was handled has been shameful for pretty much everyone involved \u2014 and that includes both AOC and Crockett, two lawmakers the media is loath to rope into the shamefulness equation because they\u2019re Democrats.
