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.
America is so racist that it elected Barak Obama twice.
no, she was just a retarded ho who had bad policies.
Republicans didn’t vote for her because they vote Republican. But if she wants to say that the Democrats were too racist and sexist to get out and vote, that’s fine with me.
We are no longer playing race card. We are playing Trump card
What does Jasmine Crockett think about Clarance Thomas? and if she doesn’t like him or think he is a good judge, then she obviously is a racist for doing so!
New Jersey would like to thank Texas for having the biggest lowlife in Congress. A title we gladly give up.
She’s an attention whore.
Do Democrats really think that anyone believes the garbage and play-acting they spew?
They’ve lost all sense of how they appear to mentally balanced people.
👍👍👍👍👍
I did not refuse to vote for Kamala because of her color.
I did not refuse to vote for Kamala because of her gender.
I did not refuse to vote for Kamala because of her laugh.
I refused to vote for Kamala because she is an idiot.
I refused to vote for Kamala because she is a Marxist.
I refused to vote for Kamala because she was part of the most corrupt administration in American history, and ran on that record.
Sooooo….not racist to vote FOR her because she isn’t White, BUT it is racist to NOT vote for her because she isn’t White.
Got it.
Conclusion: Harris ran on one thing and one thing only: she’s not a White male.
This woman seems to think she’s a soap actress. I suspect once our economy starts roaring, she’s gonna get primaried or challenged. No one wants this fake drama s**t. TX needs to stop voter fraud and keep this nightmare out of our lives.
Kamala was the stupidest candidate in history and Americans don’t want any more teleprompter Presidents.She was too dumb to even be a puppet.
My take on it is that Americans are tired of noxious, crass and crooked black girl bosses.
“She’s an attention whore.”
What attention?
Don’t count on Jasmine Crockett being primaried. Her congressional district includes the Oak Cliff part of South Dallas. This is the district that elected Eddie Bernice Johnson 12 times. Johnson was reelected the last 9 times with at least 72% of the vote.
It sounds like she’s winding herself up. Maybe she has a huge public meltdown being planned and choreographed in the near future.
Will she suddenly stand up and shout “I’m mad as hell, and I’m not gonna take it anymore!!” Hair weaves and Jimmy Choos yanked off, then thrown at Speaker Johnson, her clothing shredded and discarded on the newly varnished wooden floors?
Well, I never thought anyone could be dumber than serial plagiarist Joe Biden, but she managed to make even him look not so bad.
Current guy seems to have a stratospheric IQ. You’d think that would be the rule in the most powerful country on Earth.
“”This woman seems to think she’s a soap actress. I suspect once our economy starts roaring, she’s gonna get primaried or challenged. No one wants this fake drama s**t. TX needs to stop voter fraud and keep this nightmare out of our lives.””
You can probably expect to see drama-queen Jasmine appearing in the future on Real Fake Housewives of Atlanta. She’d fit right on in.
