EXCERPT:
CROCKETT: “(laughs) Oh my goodness. Listen, I know that I have arrived, honey. That is the way that I see this. Because, as Beyoncé says, if they’re not talking about you, then obviously you must not be doing anything. You know what? This is just more slander, more nonsense, more lies. And, honestly, I don’t think that the New York Post would probably be the first ones to be able to figure out if I was a boss from hell. You and I were joking before we got on camera about all of the scrutiny that comes with being not only woman, but being young and being a black woman. Yeah, there’s a lot of scrutiny that comes my way, and it comes my way from all different angles. But when people start talking about you, that’s when you know that you are obviously getting under their skin. So I am not going to give up. There is a song that I like to quote every once in a while. It says ‘your hate is my motivation, so keep hating.’ All it does is motivate me to continue to do what I do, which is to be loud and proud on behalf of the American people.”
