Coming from a member of the party that instinctively believes whatever so-called experts like Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates tell them, it’s pretty rich to hear U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) disparage the intelligence of Republicans.
That’s precisely what happened when she sat down for an interview with the radio talk show “The Breakfast Club” recently, as Fox News reported:
“This isn’t me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts,” Crockett said. “When you look at who’s voting for who, the less educated folk- and when I say educated, I’m not even talking about formal education. I’m talking about people that literally don’t want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans…. Like, we want to give you every single little detail that we can find so that you can have all the information. But the reality is that the average person that is going out there and voting, they’re not paying attention to that.”
The progressive lawmaker went on to scold Democrats who “fail to realize how selfish people are.”
“People go out and they vote in their own self-interest, right? And so you had all these racists that showed up and decided that they were gonna vote for the other racist because they thought, ‘Hey, we are all the same.’ But the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay? And so when he decided that he was gonna look out for somebody, it was only gonna be other rich White guys, not the rest of y’all!”
“So as you’re losing your job, as you’re losing your Medicaid, as you’re losing your farm, you’re feeling a way because you’re like, ‘Wait a minute. You were supposed to go after the others, not come after us.’ And now they’re saying, ‘Oh well, we’ll give you a $5,000 check.’ I don’t see it happening right now,” she added.
Many social media users were quick to respond to her offensive depiction of millions of her fellow Americans:
Rep. Jasmine Crockett has chosen to profile Trump supporters as uneducated, racist and people who support other racist. I doubt she’d be comfortable hearing anyone use those words and phrases toward her. Those generalizations are awful. Unprofessional. And dangerous. Her future…

I will NEVER understand why people vote for idiots like her. I just can not comprehend it. Smh.

She previously insinuated that the only reason voters re-elected Trump is because they “don’t understand” issues:
Jasmine Crockett is everything that's wrong with the Left.
They think everyone who disagrees with them are "uneducated"

Crockett also attracted criticism when she admitted she had been “rooting” for other countries with leaders who are currently at odds with Trump, as The Hill reported:
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Friday she is “rooting” for Canada and Mexico because they are standing up to President Trump.
“They are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now,” Crockett said on the radio show “The Breakfast Club.”
“They can see what it is, and they were like, we are not messing with this crazy regime from Mar-a-Lago and basically calling them thugs,” she added.
The Texas Democrat also criticized the fact that Trump was allowed to run for president despite being convicted by a jury of his peers of 34 felony convictions.
For good measure, here’s some commentary surrounding her recent opposition to another Trump proposal — despite her party’s long track record of endorsing practically any government handout imaginable:
