Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) referred to as President Donald Trump a “white supremacist” and mentioned she was “tired of the white tears” throughout an impassioned interview on CNN Monday. (Watch the movies beneath.)
Crockett, who’s Black, was responding to host Laura Coates’ point out of Darren Beattie being appointed to a high-level put up below Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Beattie, a former speechwriter for Trump, was reportedly fired through the first time period after it emerged that he attended a convention with white nationalists. In October 2024, he wrote on X: “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”
“Your reaction,” Coates requested.
“He needs to go,” Crockett replied. “Right now we have a white supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is backed up by other white supremacists.”
The lawmaker famous a excessive share of violent crime amongst white supremacists who “for whatever reason sit and they serve at the pleasure of the president. … They were the ones there on Jan. 6 tearing our democracy down physically and now we have them tearing us down from within.”
Coates supplied a disclaimer that Trump has denied being a white supremacist, which Crockett scoffed at. “I don’t care what he said,” she answered with amusing.
Crockett mentioned she enters Congress every day understanding nobody may make her doubt who she is “because I know that I have to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat.”
“When you look and you compare me to [GOP Georgia Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to [GOP Colorado Rep.] Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison,” she added. “…The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder.”
The congresswoman advised the plan is to deprive Black folks of an schooling “because they don’t want any more Kamala Harrises, they don’t want any more Jasmine Crocketts.” She mentioned traditionally Black faculties are being threatened by the Trump administration.
Trump backed off from an Office of Management and Budget freeze of federal grants and loans that would have affected HCBUs, however press secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted his govt order to evaluation applications perceived as woke remained in place.
