WATCH: Rep. Jasmine Crockett Blasts Texas, Doubles Down on Racial Division Over Redistricting

In a telling display of ideological extremism, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Democrat representing Texas, took aim not just at redistricting efforts—but at the very state she was elected to serve.

During remarks captured in a viral clip on X (formerly Twitter), Crockett lashed out at Texas voters and officials, accusing them of intentionally discriminatory practices in a conversation about potential redistricting. Her comments, draped in racial rhetoric and identity politics, echo the divisive language once used by the very segregationists she claims to oppose.

“Texas has always been found to be intentionally discriminatory,” Crockett stated, painting the Lone Star State with a broad and damning brush.

The congresswoman was responding to discussions sparked by President Donald Trump’s address to Texas Republicans regarding a potential redrawing of the state’s electoral map—standard political strategy aimed at safeguarding Republican majorities ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Rather than debate the merits of redistricting on legal or ethical grounds—as both parties have engaged in gerrymandering for generations—Crockett instead played the race card.

“They are specifically deciding to splinter the communities of common interest,” she said, implying that voters are interchangeable based solely on skin color.

Such logic revives the same kind of thinking that once fueled racial segregation in America. The notion that “communities of common interest” must be based on race reduces voters to skin tone and stereotypes—something civil rights leaders fought to eradicate.

In a particularly jarring moment, Crockett even distanced herself from the state she represents.

“That state,” she said, referring to Texas, “was grown by 95 percent people of color. They went out of their way to make sure that we got zero new seats for people of color.”

That language—“that state”—not “my state” or “our state”—tells the story of a representative more interested in stoking division than fostering unity.

Gerrymandering, for the record, is not a Texas invention, nor is it uniquely Republican. The term dates back to 1812, coined after Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry approved a district map drawn to favor his party. It’s a bipartisan power play that’s been practiced for centuries.

Yet Crockett spins it into a racial grievance, as if only voters of color are affected—or should be given special consideration. It’s identity politics at its worst, cloaked in the language of equity but driven by division.

In doing so, Crockett inadvertently reveals the ugly truth behind modern left-wing ideology: Wokeness isn’t about justice. It’s about tribalism, grievance, and ultimately, control.
