In a moment of stunning and revealing hypocrisy, Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas was forced to confront her own vile, racially charged rhetoric after announcing her run for the U.S. Senate. During an appearance on CNN’s “The Lead,” host Jake Tapper confronted Crockett with her past comments in which she outrageously claimed Latino supporters of President Donald Trump suffer from a “slave mentality.” This disgusting and elitist attack, directed at millions of hardworking, patriotic Americans, lays bare the true contempt the Democrat elite holds for voters who dare to think for themselves and support the America-First agenda.
The transcript of the exchange reveals Crockett’s failed attempt to deflect and distort her own words. After Tapper read her 2024 quote from Vanity Fair verbatim, in which she said supporting Trump’s immigration policies “almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves,” Crockett stammered through a non-denial denial.
When Tapper directly asked, “Do they all have slave mentality?” Crockett weakly claimed, “No, and that’s not what that said at all, to be clear. It did not say that every Latino has that type of mentality.” This pathetic evasion crumbled immediately as Tapper correctly noted her comment was specifically about “the ones that vote for people who believe in strong — or Trump’s immigration policy.” Trapped by her own hateful analogy, Crockett could only fall back on the arrogant, paternalistic liberal trope that these voters are too ignorant to understand their own interests, claiming, “I don’t believe that the people that voted for Trump believe in what they’re actually getting.”
OOOOHHHHHH BAAAAAABY
Jazzy Crockett gave an interview to Vanity Fair where she said Latinos have a "slave mentality"
The Texas ads write themselves. 🤣

Crockett’s subsequent, flustered attempt to clarify her position only plunged her deeper into a incoherent mess, exposing the intellectual bankruptcy at the core of her argument. She meandered, “Why is it that they believe that they can win Latinos down here? Like, I don’t understand what’s happening… And there were people that were saying that they had fought and they had done everything the right way and that there were bad people that were coming that were doing it the wrong way.” This rambling word salad failed to justify her initial, incendiary insult. It served only to prove that for Democrats like Crockett, any Latino who rejects their open-border anarchism and supports President Trump’s successful policy of lawful, orderly immigration must be pathologized—labeled as self-hating or suffering from a mental disorder—rather than engaged with respectfully as citizens making a rational choice for their safety and prosperity.
This incident is not an isolated gaffe but a fundamental feature of Crockett’s political brand, which is built on performative outrage and vulgar attacks against the President and his supporters. She has previously called President Trump a “piece of st”** at a left-wing rally and described his policies as a “terrible nightmare,” screaming, “Somebody slap me and wake me the fk up!”** This is the caliber of individual the Democrat Party is promoting: a candidate who traffics in racial vitriol to slander a diverse and growing coalition of Americans who have found a home in the Trump movement precisely because it respects their values, their work ethic, and their desire for a safe, sovereign, and thriving nation. Her collapse under simple questioning is a testament to the hollow nature of the left’s racial politics and a powerful endorsement of President Trump’s authentic connection with voters of all backgrounds.
