During a recent discussion, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, made controversial remarks about various voter groups in the United States. Crockett accused Hispanic voters of having a 'slave mentality' for supporting President-elect Donald Trump, suggesting that they view immigrants in a negative light. She contrasted this with her experiences with other communities, stating that she had not encountered similar attitudes among Asians, Africans, or Caribbeans.
Furthermore, Crockett commented on the voting patterns of Black voters, noting that while they have historically been loyal to the Democratic Party, there was some 'flaking' among Black men during the recent election, which she attributed to misogyny. She also criticized White women, claiming they 'retreated' and failed Vice President Kamala Harris, similar to their perceived failure to support Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Regarding the Democratic Party's messaging and standards, Crockett expressed concerns about the party tearing down President Biden and setting unrealistic expectations. She highlighted the need for unity and support within the party, pointing out that Republicans stood by their candidates even during challenging times.
Crockett emphasized the importance of self-reflection within the Democratic Party, urging members to avoid overly criticizing their leaders and instead focus on presenting a united front. She suggested that the party should reassess its approach to messaging and avoid setting unattainable standards for its candidates.
