Trump Goes After Rep. Jasmine Crockett

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has become a rising star within the Democratic Party, and she has gotten the attention of Republicans, including Donald Trump.

This is what Trump said about Rep. Crockett on Meet The Press:

I think we have a tremendous group of people. We talked about a number of them. You look at Marco, you look at JD Vance, who’s fantastic. You look at — I could name 10, 15, 20 people right now just sitting here. No, I think we have a tremendous party. And you know what I can’t name? I can’t name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats, they’re in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She’s definitely a low IQ person. And they said she’s the future of the party. I said, “You have to be kidding.” I don’t know what they’re going to do.

And I really believe in a two-party system. I really — because it’s good to be challenged. It’s really good to have a two-party — you know, it’s good. Being challenged is okay. It keeps you sharp. I don’t know what they’re going to do. They have nobody. Bernie’s 87 years old or something. And you know, Biden is the worst thing that ever happened to old people because he was grossly incompetent.

Rep. Crockett responded on X:

For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot. Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking…

Trump has used versions of this racist smear for years. It always seems to be intelligent black women who are low IQ people. Most notably, Trump used the same smear against Vice President Kamala Harris.

The difference is that Rep. Crockett isn’t running for president, so she doesn’t have to show the sort of restraint that VP Harris did.

If Trump is going to come after Rep. Crockett, he is messing with the wrong person. Crockett isn’t afraid to speak her mind, deliver her points intelligently, and definitively.

It reeks of racism and sexism that someone of such limited intelligence as Donald Trump seems to show on a regular and public basis thinks that he is smarter than Jasmine Crockett because he is a white man.

Trump’s political brand is built on the notion of white male supremacy, and any woman, especially women of color, who he feels threatened by will be insulted.

The difference is that Crockett fired back and put Trump in his place.
