Jasmine Crockett Triggered By JD Vance Saying She Has ‘Street-Girl Persona’

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett reacted angrily on Sunday to Vice President JD Vance accusing her of having a phony “street-girl persona.”

Vance made the remark at Turning Point USA’s (TPUSA) AmericaFest on Sunday, noting that Crockett is running for Senate but that “her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails.” Crockett responded on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” arguing that Vance was attempting to “rile up his base” and claiming Republicans feared her Texas Senate campaign before refuting the accusation.

“I’m sorry, but anybody that you talk to knows my credentials. They know that I’ve gone to school. They know that I’m educated. I never tried to put on some random story about where I came from,” Crockett said. “But at the end of the day, I am who I am and I am authentic. And that is actually what they are fearful of, is my authenticity, because it rings true with every single American, whether they’re a Texan or not. It rings true that I am fighting for real everyday people.”

“And instead of talking about policy, when you’re talking about ‘the record speaks for itself,’ baby, let’s talk about your record, because the only reason you’re the vice president is because the current president tried to have his last president killed,” she added. “Let’s talk about qualifications … about who has actually been fighting for people way before she ever ran for office, whether it was in the courtroom or if it was in the streets making sure those that were out there wanting to exercise their constitutional right to come together and protest injustices.”
