A Texas Republican went after the wrong congresswoman Tuesday — and got schooled on the spot.The mix-up unfolded at a House Judiciary Committee hearing already careening off the rails. GOP witness Alveda King — niece of Martin Luther King Jr. and a Fox News contributor — had just derailed Democratic questioning by shouting "Stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off!"Rep. Becca Balint (D-VT), reacting to King's outburst, said she hadn't been aware that penises were being cut off babies.Then Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX) seized the moment — and blew it.Rising to submit a unanimous consent request — a procedural move that allows members to enter material into the congressional record — Gooden announced he wanted to submit an article on Trump administration statements about transgender surgery for minors. He directed it squarely at Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX)."I'll send you a copy, Ms. Crockett," Gooden said, "so you can learn more about this."One problem: Crockett hadn't said anything about baby genitalia. That was Balint.Crockett didn't let it slide."Mr. Chairman," she said evenly, "just for purposes of the record, know that that side doesn't have too many women, so we may all look alike, but that was actually my colleague."Balint, unfazed, leaned right in."I take full credit," she said.Gooden backed down fast. "I apologize," he told Crockett. "I just assumed it was you. Please forgive me."The exchange was a sideshow inside a sideshow. The hearing — titled "The Southern Poverty Law Center: Manufacturing Hate, Part II" — was called to examine a federal indictment against the SPLC alleging it secretly paid more than $3 million to informants embedded in extremist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.Crockett had spoken before Gooden, submitting two articles into the record — one from ProPublica on hate group members identified at the Capitol riot, and one from Salon on the SPLC's work fighting hate groups.
Religious conservative activist Alveda King came to a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday as a Republican star witness. She left rattled — and firing back at a Texas Democrat who questioned whether she has any right to her famous last name.The confrontation erupted at a GOP-called hearing targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — already unraveling before Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got the microphone. King, a Fox News contributor and chair of the America First Policy Institute's Center for the American Dream, had moments earlier shouted — according to Raw Story reporting — "Stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off!" derailing a Democratic colleague's questioning entirely.Then Crockett took her turn.She didn't go after the SPLC. She went after King."You want them to believe that somehow she espouses who Dr. King was," Crockett said, pointing out that the committee had not called Martin Luther King III or Dr. Bernice King — "the ones that were actually raised by Dr. King." She read aloud from MLK's book Why We Can't Wait and his 1967 speech "The Other America" to make her point plain.The implicit charge: Alveda King, a vocal Trump booster who defended Georgia's controversial voting restrictions as consistent with her uncle's legacy, doesn't actually represent what her uncle believed.King got her chance to respond — after Crockett had already walked out."It seems as though you have suggested that I am a b------ to the King family legacy," King said, her voice shaking. "I am legitimately the daughter of Rev. Alfred Daniel Williams King and Dr. Naomi Ruth Barber King. We are a family who loves God, and I love you. God bless you."Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC), who yielded time so King could respond, made sure the absence was noted."Let the record reflect," Fry said, "that the gentlelady from Texas left the room."
