Jasmine Crockett Starts Crying, Blames Racism For Kamala’s Loss
Trending Politics ^ | 3/25/2025 | Mark Steffen

The “person that should have been president” did not win on Election Day because of rampant racism across America, “Squad” Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told a roomful of progressive activists on Monday night.

Speaking at the Human Rights Campaign’s annual gala, the Texas Democrat said she almost couldn’t bear to listen when former Vice President Kamala Harris took the stage one day later to give her concession speech.

“I almost couldn’t get out of bed,” Crockett told the crowd before veering into the absurd.

“When I tell y’all – I’m getting emotional,” she continued, her voice cracking, “I traveled this country because I knew, I knew it was going to be bad. I didn’t know it was going to be this f***ing bats***,” she said to laughter.

“But I knew. And I knew that the obstacles were going to be even greater because not only was it a woman, but it was a woman of color.”

The 2025 HRC Los Angeles Dinner was a chance for liberal West Coasters to vent about what might’ve been if Harris, the former California attorney general, had become the first female president. She was also the first female candidate of color to win the nomination for a major party.

The accusation that racism played a role in her loss is not new, and it isn’t confined to just fringe elements of the far-left. Shortly after the election, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough accused Hispanic voters of racism by voting for President Donald Trump in record numbers.

“You and I have talked about this before,” he told Rev. Al Sharpton back in November. “A lot of Hispanic voters have problems with black candidates!”

Scarborough has since admitted that he traveled to Mar-a-Lago to engage in a “reset” of his relationship with President Trump.

The bellicose blustering of Crockett is a sign that Democrats are still struggling to come to terms with the causes of their electoral defeat. Moderate members of the party like Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) have blamed Democrats’ unwillingness to distance themselves from extreme social issues like transgender athletes in women’s sports.

However, there are plenty more progressives in the House and the mainstream media willing to provide credence to Crockett’s claims. Shortly after the election, Sunny Hostin, co-host of the daytime ABC talk show “The View,” accused “uneducated white women” of handing the keys to the White House to Trump.

“Black women tried to save this country, again, last night — ninety-two percent of Black women voted for the vice president. You have Latinas in the seventy percentile voting for the vice president. What we did not have is the white women, who voted about fifty-two percent” for Harris, she said.

Crockett, who in January lost her bid to become ranking member of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, has positioned herself as a race-centric progressive willing to fight the Trump administration’s push to end diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives across the federal government.

During a CNN panel discussion last month, the Democratic lawmaker nearly melted down when challenged by conservative commentator Scott Jennings over whether DEI in the Los Angeles Fire Department was to blame for the Palisades wildfires.

Racism? The only black DNA Kamala ever had in her was from Willie Brown.

Lacking evidence, the race card is itself a racist charge that should disqualify someone from having a credible or thoughtful opinion. For a congressman representing persons of many colors it should be grounds for recall.

Ms. Crockett, even at 40 watts, isn’t a bright bulb.

Much to my dismay, white America gave them a magic negro president in 2008. This just shows how ungrateful these ferals are.

The racism of Crockett and other racists like her may well have been a contributing factor to Trump’s win.

Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told a roomful of progressive activists on Monday night. What if I told you Jasmine, that Trump is really a negro trapped in a white man’s body?

Can we get the story straight...please.. let’s all admit to the count of One Two Three, that Kamala is not African. She has Indian blood, mixed with English and Jamaican, maybe Jewish..but SLAVE descendant she is NOT.

Harris is an idiot that should never be near the wheels of power.
It has zero to do with her race. Race card: DENIED.

Crockett has a point.

Kamala’s loss had NOTHING to do with the fact she was border czar for four years while millions of illegals walked into the country.

And her loss had nothing to do with her word salad style of peaking or that she didn’t achieved ONE thing she could brag about or even speak about... So it was absolutely racism. /S

And electing Obama twice? Must have happened because people didn’t know he was black. /S
