Outspoken Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) did not mince words when speaking to a reporter about Donald Trump’s recent (and many would say, dystopian) address to Congress.
“This is not what we should be doing,” she declared. “I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. Why are we fighting with Greenland? We’re fighting with Canada, we’re fighting with Mexico, yet we’re in love with Putin!?

“America is over,” she wrote after watching her uncle’s speech on Tuesday.
“What is happening!?” she continued. “Like, this is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the f**k up ’cause I’m ready to get on with it.”

Crockett: This is not what we should be doing. I don’t even know why we’re fighting with Greenland. We’re fighting with Greenland, Canada, and Mexico—yet we’re in love with Putin?!

In the same interview, Crockett addressed Trump voters who thought he would lower prices but instead have witnessed Trump declare trade wars and go after our allies.
Crockett: Any of us who have ever dated have been hoodwinked a time or two. We’ve sat there and thought he was going to be so great for us because he sold us on all the things and then we realized… they ain’t shit. That’s where we are.

“You got hoodwinked,” Crockett responded with compassion. “And that’s okay. That’s okay, because… any of us that have ever dated, we’ve been hoodwinked a time or two, where we sat there, and we thought that he was gonna be so great for us ’cause he sold us on all the things (or her), and then we realized that he ain’t sh*t. That’s where we are, and that’s okay. What matters is that you wake up and say, This is not the one for me.’ So even if you voted for him, what you should be doing right now is saying, ‘He is not the one for me.'”
In addition to emphasizing his desire to take over Greenland, Trump’s 99-minute address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday night included attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts as well as on the trans community. He accused schools that support trans students of “child abuse” and also declared that “our country will be woke no longer.” He celebrated the removal of the “poison of critical race theory” from public schools and bragged about his executive order declaring there are only two genders.
At the end of February, Crockett made headlines for her blunt two-word response to what she would say directly to Elon Musk if she had the chance: “F**k off.”
