Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) rejected being responsible for promoting political violence with her rhetoric, insisting it is President Donald Trump and MAGA pushing a culture of violence following the killing of Charlie Kirk. Crockett joined The Breakfast Club radio show on Friday where she rejected accusations from the right and MAGA that Democrats' rhetoric promoted violence against Kirk.
President Donald Trump lampooned Democrats on Tuesday, saying the party, with politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jasmine Crockett, is in rough shape heading into the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential election. They're just terrible people. They don't have a bench, Trump said during an interview on CNN pundit Scott Jennings' radio show. The president mocked AOC, saying the New York representative speaks like a little mouse which is why Democratic leaders are keeping her away from microphones lately, he added.
Crockett shared that her evolving public persona has drawn interest from both Republicans and Democrats, illustrating how her appeal transcends traditional party lines.
Crockett expressed her commitment to investigate and expose troubling actions under the current administration and stated, "I'm ready to shine a light on the very dark things taking place in our country."
