Jasmine Crockett Claps Back At Trump After ‘Low IQ’ Insult: 'Not Going Anywhere'

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) hit back at President Donald Trump after he called her “low-IQ,” arguing the president uses the insult to target people of color. (See her response in the video above.)

The congresswoman said Tuesday during a CNN interview that she doesn’t “care how many Black MAGA out there” are wearing Trump-supporting hats, the president “has a problem with people of color.”

Crockett was responding after Trump mocked the idea that the Texas Democrat, whose star has risen quickly since she was first elected to Congress in 2022, is one of the leaders of her party.

“You have this woman, Crockett. Very low-IQ person,” Trump said during a CNBC interview on Tuesday. “Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, ‘You’ve got to be kidding.’”

He also, bizarrely, questioned whether she is related to 19th-century frontiersman Davy Crockett.

“I wonder if she’s any relation to the late, great Davy Crockett, who is a great, great, a great gentleman,” he said. “I wonder if she’s got any relationship to Davy Crockett, the great old Davy Crockett.”

Appearing on CNN’s “The Source With Kaitlan Collins,” Crockett said Trump has “nothing of substance to contribute when it comes to critiquing me.”

After pointing out Trump seldom engages in the substantive point of an argument when hurling abuse, she added: “It’s a common insult when it comes to people of color. He just threw the same exact insult at Charlamagne tha God, and so I want people to see him and understand who he is.”

“This is a person that has a problem with people of color, period,” she added. “I don’t care how many Black MAGA out there with they hats.”

She continued the “low IQ” gibe could easily be applied to Trump’s “incompetent” Cabinet, citing the scandal surrounding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s inadvertent sharing of highly sensitive national security information with an editor at The Atlantic on the messaging app Signal.

Referring to Republican hopes to grab five more seats congressional seats in Texas through an off-schedule redrawing of the electoral map, Crockett concluded, “I’ve got news for the president. I am not going anywhere, no matter how many squiggly lines they draw in the state of Texas.”
