Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing widespread criticism on social media as clips of her response to President Donald Trump’s congressional address have been spreading online.
Crockett delivered a rambling and incoherent response to Trump’s speech at the Capitol on Tuesday.
Her remarks, which included references to Greenland, Russia, and U.S. foreign relations, quickly went viral.
Crockett’s statements appear to expose her very limited understanding of foreign policy, drawing sharp criticism from both political opponents and social media users.
During her remarks, Crockett appeared to struggle with her own points.
At one point, while attempting to criticize Trump, she states:
“I don’t even know why we fightin’ with Greenland.
“Why we fightin’ with Greenland?
“We fightin’ with Canada. We fightin’ with Mexico.”
She then added, “Yet we in love with Putin. What is happening?
“Like, this is not America.
“This is a terrible nightmare.
“Somebody slap me and wake me the f**k up.”
Her remarks immediately sparked reactions online.
Critics called the congresswoman’s statements embarrassing and difficult to follow.
Conservative commentator Joey Mannarino shared a clip of the speech on X, writing:
“Honestly, Jasmine Crockett sounds completely illiterate when she speaks.”
Other social media users questioned her grasp of basic foreign policy.
One user asked, “How does someone like that get elected?”
Another remarked, “She is irrelevant.
“Crockett is racist and should be kicked out of Congress.”
The backlash continued with widespread mockery of her statements.
Some users joked about her dramatic delivery, with one commenter writing:
“I can’t tell; her lashes get in the way.”
Another user sarcastically noted, “She’s literally drinking Kool-Aid,” ridiculing her apparent confusion over global affairs while drinking a red colored beverage.
Some conservatives saw Crockett’s statements as a political advantage, with one user suggesting:
“They need to keep trotting her out there, bonus for Republicans!”
Others argued that her rhetoric reflected deeper issues within the Democratic Party.
One Trump supporter commented:
“They have nothing left in their tank… it’s glorious.”
Crockett is a member of the progressive “Squad” faction within the Democratic Party.
She has previously faced scrutiny for her statements and policy positions.
The Texas Democrat has often embraced left-wing policies and made controversial remarks, making her a frequent target of Republican criticism.
While Crockett has not responded directly to the backlash, the incident has once again placed her under the national spotlight.
It draws attention to the growing divide in political discourse and the challenges Democrats face in shaping their message heading into the next election cycle.
