Jasmine Crockett Flags The Exact Thing 'Consistently Wrong' In Trump's Second Term

1 month ago 3

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) turned her attention to Donald Trump putting the Constitution through a “paper shredder” on Monday when asked about the president calling her a “low-IQ person” in his interview with “Meet the Press.”

Trump — who has previously hit Crockett and other top Black female Democrats with a “low-IQ” label — used the description for the congresswoman in the same “Meet the Press” interview where he declared that he doesn’t know whether he backs due process rights.

That led Crockett to one conclusion on Monday.

“I think that this should not be partisan, this should be right versus wrong,” the congresswoman told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“A lot of the things that this administration is doing, they don’t have anything to do with partisanship. This is right versus wrong and right now, they are consistently wrong.”

Crockett appeared on the network moments after Tapper spoke with Laurence Tribe, a constitutional law professor at Harvard University who called the president’s remarks “totally ridiculous” and “dangerous.”

“The fact that you just got done engaging in a conversation where we have a president of the United States who has no idea about the oath that he just took on Jan. 20th, tells me everything that I need to know,” Crockett said.

She went on to argue that Trump didn’t have “good sense” to simply say that he “will follow the Constitution,” and while he took an oath to defend the document, his apparent disregard for it has become a “problem.”

On Sunday, Crockett responded to Trump’s “low-IQ” jab on social media, stressing that he has her name in his mouth “a lot” despite being in charge of “the WHOLE country.”

“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,” she wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

“So keep talking…”
