Jasmine Crockett caught uttering the most ignorant thing imaginable

Crockett isn’t very bright. But you probably knew that already.

And Jasmine Crockett was caught uttering the most ignorant thing imaginable.

In a stunning display of liberal logic, Texas Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett is out here redefining what it means to be a criminal, basically giving a free pass to lawbreakers as long as their “mindset” isn’t too bad. This comes straight from her chat with Netflix personality Jonathan Van Ness. Crockett drew from her experience as a public defender to explain this ridiculous viewpoint.

She talked about how representing poor defendants taught her loads about human nature and the system. Crockett insists that getting tangled up in the justice system shapes how she pushes laws in Congress. When folks complain about rising crime rates, she agrees it’s bad, but then pivots to say it’s not about party lines—Democrat, Republican, or Independent. Instead, she claims the real fix is figuring out how to stop it and keep neighborhoods secure.

As a defender, Crockett says she got into deep talks with people actually out there breaking laws. She learned what drives them to do it, painting this picture of crime as some kind of symptom rather than a choice. It’s like she’s trying to humanize the whole mess, making excuses for why someone might steal or worse.

And here’s where it gets wild: Crockett flat-out declared, “just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come from a lot of different reasons.” Yeah, you read that right. According to her, it’s all in the head—commit the act, but if your vibes aren’t “criminal,” you’re good?

This isn’t some one-off slip. In another interview on the Grounded podcast, as reported by Breitbart’s Jasmyn Jordan, Crockett doubled down. She argued that plenty of offenses happen not out of malice, but sheer desperation. “‘There are crimes that are committed, not because people are criminals, but because they literally are trying to survive,'” she stated, like that’s supposed to make us nod along.

She even name-dropped Dallas County DA John Creuzot, who’s infamous for saying his office wouldn’t go after petty thefts if it’s for basics like food or diapers. Crockett admitted Creuzot “probably shouldn’t have said it out loud,” but she’s all in on the idea. Why bother prosecuting, she says, when any half-decent lawyer could spin a defense out of it?

This soft-on-crime attitude from Crockett fits right into the Democrat playbook, where empathy trumps accountability every time. She’s essentially saying that if you’re broke and swipe some groceries, hey, no big deal—it’s survival mode. But tell that to the store owners getting hit left and right, or the communities dealing with the fallout.

Meanwhile, Crockett’s got no problem slamming real efforts to crack down on chaos. She’s accused Donald Trump of “unlawfully going into various minority controlled cities” with the National Guard. So, sending in help to restore order in riot-torn areas? That’s the real crime in her book.

It’s this kind of thinking that’s fueling the crime waves in blue cities across America. Liberals like Crockett want to coddle offenders, blaming society or poverty instead of holding people responsible. Where does it end? If mindset is the bar, who’s judging that—judges, or woke activists?

Folks on the right see through this nonsense. They know strong law enforcement keeps everyone safe, no matter the excuses. Crockett’s views just highlight how out of touch Democrats are with everyday Americans tired of watching their streets turn into war zones.

Her background as a public defender might explain the sympathy, but in Congress, she should be fighting for victims, not perpetrators. This mindset defense? It’s a slippery slope to anarchy, where anyone can claim “I had my reasons” and walk free.

Imagine applying her logic elsewhere: Speed through a red light because you’re late? Not a traffic violator, just a busy person. It’s absurd, and it erodes the rule of law that built this country.

Right populists aren’t buying it. They demand real solutions—like tougher sentences, more cops on the beat, and leaders who prioritize citizens over criminals. Crockett’s words are a wake-up call to vote out this kind of weakness.

At the end of the day, crime is crime, period. No amount of mental gymnastics changes that. If Democrats keep pushing this narrative, they’ll keep losing ground to common-sense conservatives.
