U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett was deservedly raked over the coals after stunning remarks on social media where she made clear how important she believes she is.
The Texas Democrat posted comments that defied logic, decency and even education as she bemoaned former President Donald Trump having Secret Service protection while members of Congress like herself do not.
Crockett has been under fire for being part of a group of House Democrats who signed the “DISGRACED Former Protectees Act,” in April, which aimed to end Secret Service protection for convicted felons – namely Trump. In light of the July 13 assassination attempt on the Republican nominee at his rally in Pennsylvania, Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison and others have called for Crockett to step down.
She unloaded in a post on X in response to the letter calling for her resignation, insulting other lawmakers who “don’t even serve on my level ” while flashing the “white privilege” card.
Oh the evil & illogical who don’t even serve on my level believe they have sway or authority over me (insert white privilege).
While I’ve been out of the country on official business, these losers have been looking for Twitter clout.
But I’ll be gracious because I’m sure half… https://t.co/cDtEQ5hzte

“As a sitting member of congress, we don’t even get secret service protection so why should taxpayers foot the bill for someone who a jury of his/her peers has deemed guilty of a felony or in this case 34 of ‘em, if they are sentenced to time. The prison is full of officers not to mention, why should we make an entire team of public servants have to go to prison, too?!” she ranted.
“If Martha Stewart could survive, I’m not sure why y’all are so scared that your Orange Savior couldn’t or is it that you want to admit that women are stronger than many of you, including him?” Crockett, a sitting member if the United States Congress wrote.
Crockett referred to the upcoming hearing lawmakers have called to investigate the failed security that led to the near-assassination of Trump as something that will be filled with “propaganda.”
I’ve got a hearing that will be nothing but propaganda, I’m sure. I think it’s happening next week. I’m still not back in the country with access to all information, but I’ll be sure to deal with the hypocrisy & bs as it comes out. We need to know what happened because it may…

Crockett’s shocking and ignorant remarks may have played well for her fellow conspiracy-loving Democrats, but many on X let her have it.
“Serve on my level” you’re a public servant, you serve We the Poeple.

Take a civics lesson you serve the constituents in your district and “We the People@ pay your salary.

The fact that you went straight to “white privilege” instead of anything else shows you’re racist and shouldn’t be in office.

Playing the race card is so worn out. Only losers keep playing it when it is all they have. 😬

So I am trying to understand. Does everyone that opposes you have white privilege?

I’m not white and I’m not privileged. But you young lady are arrogant, unteachable, incapable of understanding your responsibilities and yes, you should resign.

This is one of the most illogical, racist diatribes I’ve read all day. It’s horrifying that any district in the country would elect someone like this.
