Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett blasted Texas Republicans’ newly redrawn district map as “racist” Monday night on Instagram — while in the same video she praised California Democrats’ gerrymander.
Crockett’s comments come as runaway Texas Democrats return to Austin to vote on the Lone Star State’s proposed map, which will likely result in the GOP picking up five seats there in the midterms. California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom also recently announced a special November election for California voters to approve the Democratic-dominated state legislature’s gerrymandered map, which was drafted in an effort to “neutralize” Texas’ mid-decade redistricting.
“All of the racists feel a way when you call them exactly what they are. When you say, ‘Oh you guys are racist, and you guys are trying to implement racist practices with these racist maps,'” Crockett said on Instagram. “It’s like, bro, I get that you took your hood off, but your hood is still there, like we see it.”
Crockett in the video also claimed that “democracy” is “crumbling before our eyes” in reference to the Republican-drawn map, further calling the GOP-controlled Texas House “problematic.” Later in the same Instagram reel, the congresswoman gave “big ups” to California Democrats for planning to override the state’s redistricting commission to implement their own partisan map.
Texas’ new GOP-drawn proposed map has a higher percentage of Democratic seats than California’s current commission-drawn map — let alone its legislature’s proposed map — has Republican seats.
“It is time to match their energy, if not exceeding, because I’m tired of [Republicans]. Like, they are consistently playing in our faces. And while I’m saying I’m tired of them, big ups to my colleagues in California that got together, got this together,” Crockett said. “Texas may want to play, but guess what? California can play too.”
Crockett had claimed Texas’ new map would reduce minority voting power during an Aug. 9 appearance on MSNBC. However, Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott rebutted her claims the following day on Fox News, clarifying that four of the five newly redrawn Republican-leaning seats in the map will be “predominantly Hispanic.”
“The problem that Democrats have in the state of Texas is Hispanics, black voters and other voters, they have learned now that the ideas that Democrats stand for are contrary to the ideas that the Hispanic community and black community stand for,” Abbott said on Aug. 10. “They all want secure borders, they don’t want men and women’s sports and they want support for law enforcement.”

We all know the drill - if it weren’t for double standards, Democrats would have no standards at all.
Jazzy would call a storm front “racist” if it rained on one of her favorite wigs.
She knows her constituents know nothing about gerrymander. Most have probably never even heard the word.
Here is the real question - now that Jasmine is going to have to run in a non-ghetto district, is she going to drop the “keepin it real” act and go back to speaking like a finishing school debutante like she did before?
Didn’t she flee to IL and effectively endorse IL map?
Hypocrite.
“”” is she going to drop the “keepin it real” act and go back to speaking like a finishing school debutante like she did before?””””
Hey now, she worked hard on that accent and she ain’t no ways tarred.
Learned about her privileged private schools education in St.Louis yesterday in a video. Simply amazing how moving a bit South suddenly caused her to speak ghetto-rat.
Then again, maybe she always was trash and talking trashy just came naturally.
She’s confused , ALL THE TIME
The Ghettopotamous roars.
Crockett just a race baiting skank for the party and trying to hang on to the free political ride.
