Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockettâs senate campaign has already been at the center of mockery just one day after she announced her candidacy.
Crockett, a far-left congresswoman known for her shouting and slew of controversies, announced on Monday that she will attempt to unseat Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn in the Senate. Her campaign has already featured a rapper trashing Republicans, her stating that racism and sexism are to blame for her losing and her already revolving her messaging around President Donald Trump.
Crockettâs first campaign ad features her staring into the camera with a voice-over of Trump calling her a âlow IQ personâ and mocking her prominence in the Democratic Party.

When Crockett took the stage, she told her supporters that Texas would turn blue and suggested that the state is not actually red.
âTexas turns blue. It wonât be because of any one candidate, but because of each and every one of you doing your part. Turning Texas blue is what I want to talk to yâall about today. Now, there are those that say âAinât no way, we done tried it 50 kinds of ways,ââ Crockett told the crowd.

Crockett also said that racism and sexism will be to blame if she loses her Senate bid.
âSo Iâm asking you to tune out those intrusive voices that say canât win because sheâs black, because sheâs a woman or because sheâs a Democrat,â Crockett said. âIf you believe women should be in all spaces, then I ask you to stand with me.

Crockett has entered the spotlight during her time as a congresswoman for her contentious remarks and behavior. In April 2024, the congresswoman said that she is open to exempting black people from paying taxes as a form of reparations. She also famously attacked Republican Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greeneâs so-called âbeach blonde, bad built, butch bodyâ during a May 17, 2024, House Oversight Committee hearing.
The senator-hopeful reportedly âterrorizesâ her staff, rarely shows up to the office, forces her staff to rent luxury cars to drive her to the Capitol and has experienced repeated turnover.
