Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed frustration over the Democratic Party‘s aging leadership and complained that the party is “stuck in our old ways.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to be the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee was the most recent example of the party selecting age and seniority over newer ideas and options. Crockett, while on MSNBC Saturday, said she believes both members were qualified but argued that the decision does not send a good message.
