Disgraced Outgoing Rep. Jasmine Crockett Stoops to New Low with Vile Attacks on Gov. Abbott’s Disability

The brief and tumultuous congressional career of Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett appears to be ending not with a bang, but with a series of increasingly desperate and offensive outbursts. After a crushing defeat in her primary race for the U.S. Senate and her subsequent announcement that she will abandon her seat in the U.S. House, Crockett is once again under fire for a shocking display of ableism and personal malice.

In a recent podcast interview, the outgoing representative targeted Texas Governor Greg Abbott, mocking the 1984 accident that left him paralyzed. In a bizarre attempt to weaponize the Left’s own identity politics against the Governor, Crockett suggested his disability—rather than his decades of public service—earned him a place in the "DEI" (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) category.

“When it was a tree that ended up making him part of the DEI class, just so y’all know. He is DEI. Um hm. Uh yes, because he is uniquely abled, or, actually, he ain’t abled child because, anyway, whole other issue,” Crockett shockingly said.

The comments, which many have decried as a new low in political discourse, can be viewed here:

A Pattern of Radicalism and Division

This latest controversy comes on the heels of Crockett’s continued flirtation with radical racial policies. Earlier this month, she faced significant backlash for her incoherent defense of taxpayer-funded reparations during an appearance on REVOLT News’ “The People’s Brief.” This follows her 2024 comments on “The Black Lawyers Podcast” where she suggested exempting certain citizens from federal taxes based solely on their race.

Despite the fact that no American alive today has ever legally owned a slave or been held in slavery, Crockett has doubled down on a platform of historical grievances. When pressed to clarify her stance, she offered a characteristic mix of "social justice" jargon and vague policy goals:

“I think that anybody that knows me knows that I’m a fan of, you know, making sure that people understand our contributions as well as acknowledging the harm that has happened as it relates to our people,” Crockett said. “And so for me, it’s always been about what is it that we can actually get passed?”

“Because I feel like what we do is we constantly have the conversation and we’re like ‘Reparations, reparations.’ But it’s like, all right, so if we were to move forward in any way, what does that look like?” she continued. “And so, you know, I look at it like I think it takes kind of some bold, unapologetic people to move the needle.”

Deflecting to Attacks on the President

Rather than addressing the unpopularity of her own agenda—with polling from the Daily Caller showing that barely one-third of Americans support reparations—Crockett attempted to deflect by attacking President Donald J. Trump.

In his second term, President Trump has continued to fight for the constitutional rights of those targeted by the previous administration's weaponized Department of Justice. Crockett, however, attempted to equate legal compensation for victims of political prosecution with her race-based redistribution schemes.

“We know that Donald Trump advocated for reparations for January 6ers, right?” she said. “And so it’s like, why is that not a big controversy, right? Like, I mean, that’s a bit more controversial in my mind, right?”

She further criticized the President’s commitment to economic growth, specifically his successful push to make the 2017 tax cuts permanent—a cornerstone of the current administration’s "America First" prosperity.

“So why is it that we can sit here and be okay with the fact that billionaires are going to get historic tax cuts that are permanent and we’re not talking about like really evaluating what could move the needle as it relates to how far behind we got because of our contributions basically just from slave labor and yeah,” she added.

The Legacy of a "Lame Duck"

As she prepares to exit the halls of Congress, Crockett remains obsessed with "truth and reconciliation" commissions aimed at dismantling what she calls "systemic racism." Her "United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation" serves as a final reminder of the divisive rhetoric that led to her rejection by Texas voters.

While Crockett retreats from the political stage, her departure marks a victory for those who value meritocracy, the rule of law, and a unified American identity over the fractured, grievance-based politics of the Far Left.
