In yet another infuriating and stunningly tasteless display from far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), the woke and spiteful congresswoman doubled down on her horrid rhetoric about murdered Turning Point USA founder and Trump ally Charlie Kirk, calling him a “wannabe Hitler” and insisting that pushing such foul messaging did nothing to encourage violence.
As background, many on the right have noted in the wake of the assassination of Mr. Kirk that much of the political left was complicit in his slaying, as it has constantly pushed demonizing rhetoric about him for years, and thus helped encourage his murder at the hands of an apparent radical leftist in Utah.
Rep. Crockett insisted that such was not the case, and that she was perfectly right to demonize Mr. Kirk in the most horrific ways she could think of at every opportunity, and will keep pushing the same sort of vile slander and spiteful rhetoric in regards to other conservatives with whom she disagrees.
Saying as much during an appearance on the far-left “Breakfast Club” podcast, Crockett insisted that Trump had said he would beat people up, a ridiculous assertion, and thus is the real evildoer here. She said, “We’ve got to talk about like what it means when you’re running for president, or you’re running for one of these higher offices, and you go out there and you talk about beating people up.”
Continuing, she referenced a joke Trump made about the depth of his support and insisted that his vague joke was the real threat, not leftists calling for conservatives to be harmed, saying, “You go out there and say things like, ‘I could shoot somebody in the middle of the street in New York and I could still win.’ We got to talk about — like that is next level.”
Then, building on that by insisting that framing every conservative as “Hitler” and needing to be stopped wasn’t her insisting that they need to be hurt, a laughably ridiculous assertion, she said, “Me disagreeing with you, me calling you know, a wannabe Hitler, all those things are like, not necessarily saying, ‘Go out and hurt somebody.’”
She then insisted that it is Trump and Republicans who are “promoting” a “culture of violence,” a yet another absurd assertion given the violence of the modern left and what it has become known for. She said, “But when you’re literally telling people at rallies, ‘Yeah, beat them up,’ and that kind of stuff, like you are promoting, like, a culture of violence.”

Then, concluding, she insisted vaguely before removing herself from the conversation entirely that it is the Republican rhetoric that needs to be watched and discussed, as really it and the supposed violence it promotes is far worse than the left’s takes. She said, “So we need to talk about, like, what it looks like when you don’t promote a culture of violence.”
Crockett also declared, absurdly, during the interview, that Republicans are entirely unable to find a single “clip of a Democrat invoking violence.” Responding to that, one poster pointed out that she had said, during an MSNBC appearance, “This is a war, this isn’t a battle” and was told by the host, “Everybody needs to pick up a weapon and get involved.”
