Rep. Jasmine Crockett apparently looked at Chris Brown’s long, messy history and decided, “You know what this needs? A Congressional Record.”
The Texas Democrat is catching serious backlash after honoring Brown during his recent R&B Tour stop at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where the singer performed alongside his co-headliner Usher. Crockett, joined by Texas state Rep. Venton Jones and producer RoccStar, presented Brown and Usher with congressional recognition celebrating their contributions to music and culture. And while we can all recognize Usher is hardly controversial or problematic, the decision to give Brown an official congressional nod has people understandably asking what, exactly, Crockett was thinking. We get it, the two are on a joint tour together, and it might be socially awkward to honor Usher and exclude Chris Breezy, however, as author Ta-Nehisi Coates is now virally famous for saying, was silence not an option?
