Jasmine Crockett, the race-hustling Congresswoman who lost her Texas Senate bid to Democrat James Talarico, revealed the real reason she lost the race during a black culture festival over the weekend.
At a panel discussion during the Essence Festival in New Orleans on the Fourth of July, Crockett appeared alongside Rep. LaMonica McIver (NJ-10) and Louisiana State Senator Royce Duplessis.
At one point, Crockett went off on her own party and "racist" Republicans for ignoring black people, saying, "I believe that we need to make demands."
"It is not enough just to be that you're not the racist Republican but that is what has happened with Black folk is they understood that we couldn't be a party that actually want to lynch us everyday," Crockett said in a screaming rant.
"So we sit up there, and we say that we're just voting for mitigation, but it's actually time for us to vote for uplift. And unfortunately, so many of these candidates do not care about uplifting us. This is why we have not advanced at the level that we should have at this point."
She further encouraged black people to travel to DC and "Get in their faces and make them tell you yes, I was elected to represent you, but I don't care about you."
WATCH:
Later, Crockett discussed her own race and Democratic Senate Nominee James Talarico's November race against Republican Ken Paxton, claiming that her strongest asset for Talarico is her own skin color.
"The best thing that I can do for James Talarico isn't me standing on the stage with him; it is the fact that I endorse five candidates in the runoff who all happen to be black men in the state of Texas, and every single one of them won, and they're going on to November, meaning that they will pull out more black people to vote," she said.
She continued, "And don't worry about my math and how it works in my mind because the reality is that if you can give people more than one thing to vote for, then you have a better chance of getting them out to the polls. And honestly, some people just not gonna be sold on certain people that are running in the state of Texas. So, the best thing that I can do is take down ballot candidates who no one's ever heard of, and do my best to uplift them and increase the voter participation in a way that we did in Texas."

Let me know when the White Culture Festival is......Or the Asian Culture Festival........Or the Latino Culture Festival....Or the Native Aboriginal First Peoples Culture Festival ................
yep, the black vote will stay home.
Her problem was she couldn’t get enough of her own racists to vote for her..............
Night of the Iguana........
Of course it is. The beans were picked by Juan Valdez..................
They keep using that word.
I don’t think it means what they think it means.............
Doesn’t buy her anything. Blacks don’t like her.Too dark-they think that way.
She’s heavy set. Despite a pretty face she looks like burnt toast. I’ll bet her breasts hang like bowling pins.
Democrats have a long history of anti-black racism, so Jasmine might be correct about this.
Oh they have those.....just not the White one.
ABF* Fatigue.
*Angry Black Female
She is just playing to her audience Send them the clowns Those that hear her talk love it Fortunately it’s not enough to get her elected unless she has a special district set aside for her
I like that one. 👍
One of the biggest whitey-hating racist claiming she was defeated by racism.
She ought to look in the mirror for the real reason she lost. Not what’s on the outside, what’s on the inside.
Indubitably, according to this Crock of Demonrat STUPIDITY, who is undoubtedly racist!
Loudmouth, arrogant Jasmine Crockofsh_ _ in politics. Jimmie Talarico coming up. WTF?
Crockett runs for office emphasizing that she’s black,
then complains when she loses..... because she’s black.
Sums her up nicely.
Too stupid to realize that crying racism all the time makes racists out of people who otherwise wouldn’t be.
It was a racist festival.
Those elite, expensive schools she went to didn’t educate her one little bit.
She babbles endless nonsensical blather like that black woman who used to be VP.
