Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett Criticizes Trump's Repeated Intelligence Attacks Citing Racist Obsession with Black Women Leaders

Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas has strongly rebutted President Donald Trump's repeated insults questioning her intelligence, suggesting his animosity may stem from being hurt by a Black woman in the past. During a CNN interview, Crockett challenged Trump's criticism by highlighting her own academic achievements compared to his privileged educational background and accused him of obsessing over women of color like herself and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. She described Trump's attacks as part of a broader pattern of undermining Black women leaders and criticized his handling of government priorities. Crockett also called Trump's idea of a potential third term "a very scary thing" and "unconstitutional," urging the public to take the threat seriously. Her responses have drawn support from lawmakers and the public, framing her defense as resistance against demeaning rhetoric targeting women of color in Congress. Throughout the exchanges, Crockett emphasized the need to focus on governance rather than personal attacks.
