Jasmine Crockett, A Rising Power in the Democratic Party, Isn’t Backing Down To MAGA
Since stepping into Congress in 2023, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has made it clear—she didn’t come to play nice with politicians who thrive on chaos and double standards. Her direct style, unapologetic tone, and bold critiques have placed her front and center in the Democratic Party, quickly earning her both loyal supporters and predictable attacks from the conservative echo chamber. While Crockett is simply using the same political fire Republicans have long mastered, right-wing outlets like Fox News twist her words and weaponize her identity to discredit her.
Conservative Media Can Dish It, But Can’t Take It
It’s not lost on anyone paying attention that media platforms like Fox News run full segments on Crockett every time she claps back at MAGA rhetoric. From calling Trump a “mofo” to dragging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s migrant busing stunts, Crockett uses the same mocking, cutting style Republicans have perfected for years. But when it comes from a Black woman, suddenly it’s “radical,” “offensive,” or “crossing the line.”
Take her “Governor Hot Wheels” comment, for example. Fox News immediately spun it as an attack on Abbott’s disability. Crockett clarified that the jab wasn’t about Abbott being paralyzed—it was about his cruel, performative immigration policies. “Literally, the next line I said was that he was a ‘hot a– mess,’ referencing his terrible policies,” she explained. “So I’m even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump—a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities—are now outraged.”
It’s clear: When MAGA-world engages in name-calling, it’s “just politics.” But when Crockett responds in kind, they cry foul.
She’s Not the Problem—She’s the Reaction
Jasmine Crockett’s entire style is a direct response to what the GOP has normalized. She’s not inventing the game—she’s just refusing to lose at it. Her critics can’t handle seeing their own tactics turned back at them, especially by someone who doesn’t fit their idea of who should have a voice in Congress.
In a recent Fox News piece, Crockett was slammed for saying America “needs” undocumented immigrants because “we done picking cotton.” It was a purposely decontextualized quote meant to outrage the GOP base. But her point was crystal clear: America has relied on the labor of marginalized groups for centuries, and now conservatives are demonizing the very people who keep the economy running. If her delivery cuts deep, maybe it’s because the truth hits too hard for comfort.
Trump’s Mental Fitness: A Topic Everyone’s Scared to Touch—Except Her
Crockett has also been one of the few elected officials bold enough to publicly question Donald Trump’s mental stability. While Trump boasts about acing a cognitive test (“I got every answer right”), Crockett has called out the glaring hypocrisy of Republicans mocking President Biden’s age while turning a blind eye to Trump’s erratic behavior.
“The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me,” she told MSNBC. Comparing life under Trump to an “abusive relationship,” Crockett didn’t hold back: “At least with Sleepy Joe, you could sleep at night.”
Fox News Isn’t Reporting—They’re Defending a Narrative
While right-wing media continues to police her tone, Crockett remains focused on the policies and people they ignore—Black communities, immigrants, working families, and anyone fed up with political gaslighting disguised as governance.
They’ve branded her as “left-wing” and “radical,” but what she really is, is real. And the more they try to silence her, the louder her message becomes.
