It was really her post on X that got me started, where she responded to Trump saying that she was definitely a "low IQ person," on Meet the Press.
1:15 Trump on Meet the Press and her response on CNN -YouTube.
Crockett rips Trump apart for not understanding the Constitution and the oath he took. "This is about right versus wrong. And right now, they are consistently wrong."
Meet the Press 16 second clip on X.
Trump: "They have a new person called Crockett. I watched her the other day and she's definitely a low IQ person. And they said she's the future of the party. I said, 'You have to be kidding.' I don't know what they're going to do."
Her response to Trump about him being scared of intelligent Black women holding him accountable, is classic as the number of them making Trump live in fear keeps increasing. Crockett, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Judge Chutkan, and there must be more.
But, it was her speech on the House floor yesterday that cracked me up. "I've got just a few things to clear up...," and that she did.
6 minute clip of Jasmine on House floor YouTube.
"Instead of the president cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as the actual president of the United States. That means he might need to do a little bit of research ... We may want him to look into what the Declaration of Independence was all about ..." /s
She was just getting warmed up.
"The last 100 days have not been an accident or a fluke... He gave us the blueprint in Project 2025."
Decrying how the Department of Education was white-washing history and "... have begun promoting so-called 'patriotic education'... that skips over slavery, Jim Crow, redlining and systemic racism."
She talks about housing and how Trump was guilty of racial discrimination in his rental properties. How funding has been cut in 7 agencies that were helping Black communities and how the one agency helping Black businesses had been shut down.
"... slashing funding for HBCU's and rolling back civil rights enforcement across federal agencies...this is the so-called DEI attacks that we continue to endure in this country... to roll back the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that so many died and bled for... "
"I stand here a proud Black woman, and a proud member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and I refuse to stand by while the administration tries to turn back the hands of time. We will resist.. we will continue organizing until everybody is free...Because in the words of Fanni Lou Hamer, 'Nobody is free until everybody is free.'"
Donald Trump will attack her again, and she will continue to show him to be the fool he is. It really isn't that hard, because in a battle of the wits, he comes unarmed.
Score another one for Jasmine.
