Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-T.X., has quickly become the viral sensation of the Democratic Party.
Not because of anything she’s doing on Capitol Hill. But because of her mouth.
Recently, video footage caught Crockett making fun of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair, which set off a firestorm of outrage from social media users across both sides of the aisle.
Then last month, she stunned attendees at a Connecticut church event with comments suggesting America needs illegal immigrants because America depends on cheap slave labor.
Both incidents are shocking enough… but Crockett’s mouth just managed to top herself — which isn’t a high bar to set.
Last Friday, Crockett spoke at a SiriusXM “Urban View” town hall and a clip of some of her remarks has now been released — including her thoughts on who might be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2028.
Crockett immediately made the race about… well, race.
“It is this fear that the people within the party, within the primary system, will have about voting for a woman because every time we voted for a woman, we’ve lost, so far,” she said in a clip that has now gone viral.
“And I think that that’s a natural fear because we just want to win.”
“So there’s a lot of people that are like, ‘You know what? ‘Let’s go find the safest White boy we can find,’” Crockett added. “I mean, I’m just saying.”
“No, for real. And to be clear, when we talk about them, I can tell you that there is one specific candidate,” the Texas lawmaker said. “I had a donor on the phone with me telling me that all the donors are lining up behind that candidate. So I can tell, and I tell you, it’s not a Black person, nor a woman, OK?”
“They have chosen,” she said, referring to donors.
Watch for yourself.

There’s no way around it. Crockett is implying that that Democratic donors are a bit racist.
Crockett’s comments are head-scratching as many insiders have predicted that California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and Tim Walz are all potential frontrunners for 2028 — all of which are white males.
This isn’t Crockett’s first rodeo when it comes to making insane comments. Last month, she faced backlash for referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.” She attempted to defend that slur by claiming it referred to his use of buses to transport migrants out of his state.
Sen. John Kennedy, R-L.A., previously referred to this Democratic strategy as “Operation Let Them Speak” – the idea that the more Democrats like Crockett talk, the more they reveal their true contempt for American voters.
With Democrats desperately trying to regain their footing after former Vice President Kamala Harris’ humiliating loss to Trump, Crockett’s comments couldn’t come at a worse time for her party.
But for Republicans watching Democrats implode, Crockett’s unhinged performances are the gift that keeps on giving.
