Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed on “Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness” Wednesday that committing crimes does not make a person a “criminal.”
Crockett was previously a public defender, civil rights and criminal defense attorney, specializing in “defending our most vulnerable among us from exploitation in the criminal justice system,” according to her official biography. She said on the podcast that she has spoken to people who were “committing crimes” and that she “understood” their motivations.
“[U]nderstanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?” Crockett said. “So, when people are like, ‘Oh, you know, crime is terrible.’ And yes, it is, right? Like, because when somebody goes out and commits a crime, they don’t typically, you know, say, ‘Well, I’m a D or I’m an R or I’m an I.’ Literally, like it’s about, well, how do you fix it? How do you make communities safer?”
“And I do think that I’m in a unique situation because I was having the conversations with people that were going out and committing crimes. And so I understood what was kind of pushing them there,” she continued. “And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.”
President Donald Trump has made cracking down on crime a significant part of his second-term agenda. For instance, he deployed the National Guard and took other measures to tackle crime in the nation’s capital on Aug. 11, with violent crimes subsequently declining.
However, Democrats have not been as eager to clamp down on crime.
Nearly all House Democrats voted against Republican legislation aimed at reducing juvenile crime in the nation’s capital on Tuesday as the House of Representatives passed two bills to roll back soft-on-crime policies that the GOP argues embolden repeat offenders and deter local law enforcement.

Well to be fair, she also claims having a penis makes you a woman. Having clown goggle glasses doesn’t make her smart, either.
Disagreeing with her or the rest of the establishment is what makes you a criminal.
Just more word rape by the left
RE: ‘Well, I’m a D or I’m an R or I’m an I.
How about “I am a d.u.n.c.e”, Jasmine?
“...committing crimes does not make a person a “criminal.””
Of course not. In her world, only being a conservative does that. A law abiding one, all the more so.
That’s true if you are a democrat, socialist, communist, antifa, woke, transgender, lesbian, gay or illegal alien.
Everyone else is a criminal.
Jasmine Crockett, who fake eyelashes are bigger than her brain.
George Orwell said the government has to take away history and change and control the words.
Dems and the education and media elites have been working on that for a long time.

How did she get through school, which her bio claims she did:
Graduated from the Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School, St. Louis, Mo., 1999;
B.A., Rhodes College, Memphis, Tenn., 2003;
attended Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Texas Southern University, Houston, Tex.;
J.D., University of Houston Law Center, Houston, Tex., 2006.
Hasn’t this idiot been gerrymandered out of her House seat for the mid-terms?
OMG! She let it slip! She knows that if nobody is charged and prosecuted, then they are not a criminal. This is how the democrats are cooking crime numbers.
She isn’t “coming around the mountain”, she has “gone around the bend”.
The people who used to redesignate language were careful about it. Abortion became health care. Illegal alien became undocumented person. The list of these re-labels is long. But there’s usually a connection, initially, between the old word and the new word. What she’s done with doing something criminal doesn’t make you a criminal is messed up the rebranding formulae. She should have said something like it’s not criminal behavior; it’s surviving in trying circumstances or something along those lines. But she isn’t that bright, and she can’t think on her feet.
No one but her would come up with that!
I guess it doesn’t take any knowledge of the law to pass the bar. Just ask Kamala.

“ Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons”
This is why I’m against the entire concept of “hate crimes“. If you knock someone over into the street or you steal from someone or commit any other crime, it has the same effect on the person you damaged whether you hate them or not. We need to end all legally protected classes and all concepts of hate crime. Justice should be blind.
