Crockett despises the Trump administration. She’s not afraid to share those feelings.
And Jasmine Crockett accused J.D. Vance of committing this horrible crime.
Vice President J.D. Vance didn’t hold back at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest conference, taking direct aim at Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Vance called out what he sees as her phony tough-guy act.
“Jasmine Crockett, oh, Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails,” Vance declared to the crowd.
But Crockett, never one to miss a chance for the spotlight, fired back on MS NOW’s The Weekend, crying foul and labeling Vance’s words as “racist tropes.” It’s the classic Democrat playbook: when you can’t win on ideas, scream racism.
Co-host Antonia Hylton jumped in, stirring the pot by saying, “I think every Black woman heard what he was trying to say there. What do you think he’s trying to signal at a conference like this to an audience like this?”
Crockett wasted no time diving into her defense, claiming Vance is just trying to hype up his supporters because Democrats are supposedly gaining ground in red states. She boasted about shifts in places like Tennessee, Mississippi, and Georgia.
She went on to hype her Texas Senate run, saying the old dream of flipping the Lone Star State blue is alive because she’s the candidate who’ll chat with anyone. According to her, that’s got Republicans shaking in their boots.
“The fact that he said, I have a quote-unquote’ street-girl persona,’ I’m sorry, but anybody that you talk to knows my credentials. They know that I’ve gone to school. They know that I’m educated. I never tried to put on some random story about where I came from. But at the end of the day, I am who I am and I am authentic,” Crockett proclaimed, trying to sell her story as the real deal.
She argued that her so-called authenticity scares the establishment because it supposedly connects with everyday folks across the country, not just Texans. But critics say it’s all a facade to mask a lack of real policies that help working-class Americans.
“And that is actually what they are fearful of is my authenticity. Because it rings true with every single American, whether they’re Texan or not. It rings true that I am fighting for real, everyday people,” she continued.
Instead of sticking to issues, Crockett flipped the script on Vance, mocking his rise to vice president.
“And instead of talking about policy, when you’re talking about, ‘The record speaks for itself’ — baby, let’s talk about your record, because the only reason you’re the vice president is because the current president tried to have his last vice president k*lled. Lets talk about qualifications,” she snapped, dredging up tired January 6 narratives.
It’s telling that Crockett resorts to personal attacks rather than debating how her ideas would fix inflation, secure borders, or bring jobs back to American workers. Vance, on the other hand, rose from humble roots in Ohio, embodying the American dream that many people champion.
She demanded Republicans outline policies that help Texans before engaging her. “When they can tell me about their policies that are helping Texans, then we can have a conversation. Until then, take whatever shots you want to take at me,” Crockett challenged.
Crockett wrapped up by playing the victim card, insisting she’s faced similar jabs her whole life as a Black woman. “Because I have been a Black woman my entire life. I promise you, there are other people just like J.D. Vance, who have tried to do the same racist tropes my entire life, and somehow I ascended and became a U.S. congresswoman,” she said.
She predicted it won’t stop her Senate climb. “It will not be different when I become a U.S. senator, and we can have a conversation when I get to the Senate floor if he wants to talk,” Crockett said, already assuming victory in a state that’s stayed red for a reason.
This exchange highlights the divide in American politics: on one side, Vance and conservatives fighting for authentic change; on the other, Democrats like Crockett relying on identity politics and media allies to push their narrative.
As Texas voters gear up, they’ll decide if they want real substance or liberal spin.
