‘Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered’ host Kinsey Schofield questions Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s decision to honour Chris Brown, arguing the gesture makes politicians’ claims about tackling violence against women harder to take seriously. “Jasmine Crockett is a sitting member of Congress,” Ms Schofield told News24 host Rita Panahi. “If our going to use the congressional record to honour somebody presumably character and judgement should enter the conversation somewhere. “Politicians constantly tell us they want to take violence against women seriously, honouring Chris Brown makes that message rather difficult to take seriously.”
