Crockett claimed she referred to a different person named Jeffrey Epstein, a physician, as an excuse for her error. The article highlights Crockett&#8217;s justification during an interview on CNN, where host Kaitlan Collins challenged her explanation, noting that Crockett&#8217;s defense was weak and unconvincing. The piece suggests that Crockett and similar Democrats lack a commitment to truth,contrasting this with Christian values of repentance and honesty. It also implies that their worldview, influenced by neo-Marxism, rejects objective truth, which the author argues explains their disregard for accountability.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Christianity teaches repentance and offers forgiveness to those who feel ashamed of their sins.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, the most unhinged sociopaths in the Democratic Party appear incapable of shame.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday on CNN&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Source&rdquo; with host Kaitlan Collins, Democratic Rep.

At some point, however, the host undoubtedly realized that her guest would persist in that jaw-dropping justification, no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>Surely Collins must soon conclude that she has better things to do with her life than defend dishonest Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, on Tuesday, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-hakeem-jeffries-snaps-cnns-kaitlan-collins-repeatedly-asks-question-doesnt-want-hear\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Collins<\/a> pressed House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York on a similar matter. Three times, Collins asked Jeffries whether he thought it appropriate for Democratic Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the U.S. Virgin Islands to have texted Epstein during a 2019 congressional hearing. Three times, the evasive minority leader refused to say.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, perhaps one day Collins will finally reject CNN&rsquo;s pro-Democrat agenda.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, we have only to marvel at Crockett&rsquo;s straight-faced justification of an error that would embarrass almost anyone.<\/p>\n<p>It did not embarrass Crockett, however, and it behooves us to think about why. Perhaps she really does <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/video-spectacular-moment-jasmine-crockett-attacks-trumps-iq-makes-ignorant-3rd-grade-english-mistake-sentence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lack functional intelligence<\/a>. Or, perhaps she received bad advice.<\/p>\n<p>The most plausible explanation, however, is that Crockett, like other leftists, has contempt for the very concept of truth.<\/p>\n<p>Modern Democrats, particularly race-mongers like Crockett, derive their worldview from neo-Marxism. Among other things, Marxism rejects the Christian belief in a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >divinely ordered objective truth<\/a>. Hence, they believe men may become women, and other absurdities.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, since they believe truth does not exist, only power matters. Anything done or spoken in pursuit of power, therefore, needs no justification.<\/p>\n<p>Why, then, would Crockett bother to acknowledge her error and apologize for it? After all, repentance is for people who believe in truth.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
