Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) targeted Republican voters while appearing on Friday's episode of "The Breakfast Club" and suggested that GOP voters are uneducated and support "racists."
"This isn’t me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts," Crockett said. "When you look at who’s voting for who, the less educated folk- and when I say educated, I’m not even talking about formal education. I’m talking about people that literally don’t want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans."
She later added, "Like, we want to give you every single little detail that we can find so that you can have all the information. But the reality is that the average person that is going out there and voting, they’re not paying attention to that."
"People go out and they vote in their own self-interest, right?" she continued. "And so you had all these racists that showed up and decided that they were gonna vote for the other racist because they thought, ‘Hey, we are all the same.’ But the reality is that he is a rich racist, okay? And so when he decided that he was gonna look out for somebody, it was only gonna be other rich white guys, not the rest of y'all!"
"So as you're losing your job, as you're losing your Medicaid, as you're losing your farm, you're feeling a way because you're like, ‘Wait a minute. You were supposed to go after the others, not come after us.’ And now they're saying, 'Oh well, we'll give you a $5,000 check.' I don't see it happening right now," Crockett added, referring to a possible payout from savings made by DOGE.
She has opposed the potential plan on the DOGE savings but is still in favor of reparations for black Americans.
The left-wing representative has previously talked about education as well as the topic of DEI, saying that she is "tired of the white tears" surrounding DEI programs. At the time, she also claimed that 80 percent of the "most violent crimes" in the United States are committed by white supremacists.
