Rep. Crockett among Congress members to walk out of Trump speech

Rep. Crockett (D-Dallas) went live on Instagram after several members of Congress walked out of the House chamber.

What they're saying:

"He's up there, he's spewing all kinds of nonsense and bulls***, let me just be real, and we weren't just going to sit for that s***," Crockett told her followers.

All of the members who walked out were wearing black clothing with different messages.

Crockett wore a shirt with a picture of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American woman in Congress, on it, saying "unbought and unbossed."

The group coordinated the walk-out, but wanted to show up because "we earned these seats." 

"We are going to fight him tooth and nail. We are going to combat all the lies, and we are going to continue to serve the people that even went out and elected him to their own dismay," said Crockett.

Shortly after her post on social media, Crockett put out a press release.
