In a recently unearthed video, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) erupted in a viral House floor rant, declaring white men have never faced oppression in America and cannot use the word. “You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes?… We didn’t ask to be here. We were stolen,” she shouted,
She also compared the plight of enslaved Africans to modern migrants and accused white GOP colleagues of falsely claiming victimhood. On social media, conservatives blasted the speech as racist and historically ignorant, with social media users noting nearly every ethnicity has endured slavery at some point and urging her to move past race-based grievances.
Starting off her typically absurd ravings, the Texas Democrat began with a series of racist remarks. “You can then misuse words like oppression. There has been no oppression for the white man in this country,” the allegedly literate Democrat said.
Continuing her absurd remarks, she whined, “You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are going to go and work. We are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives.”
Still not done embarrassing herself, Crockett alleged, “That didn’t happen. That is oppression. We didn’t ask to be here. We not the same migrants that y’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen.”
Concluding her absurd comments, the Democrat doubled down. “So, yeah, we are going to sit here and be offended when you want to sit here and act like and act like and don’t let it escape you that it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us people of color on this side of the aisle, that y’all are the ones being oppressed, that y’all are the ones that are being harmed,” Crockett raved.
When footage of this screed made it to social media, conservatives were irate. “NEW: Rep. Jasmine Crockett goes on wild rant against white people, says they aren’t allowed to use the word “oppression” because they weren’t dragged across an ocean. Crockett said that black people “didn’t ask to be here,” a popular post read

In the comments under this post, Crockett was battered by dozens of hostile comments. Juanita Broaddrick, who has accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault, said, “She doesn’t realize how racist and totally unbalanced she sounds, does she? What an idiot.”
Pointing out another flaw in her argument, one comment read, “That’s a terrible way to look at history. Almost EVERY peoples have been enslaved at some point throughout history.” Agreeing, another user said, Ummmmm, who’s gonna tell her it was her ‘own people’ that sold slaves to the ‘white European'”

Next, a conservative explained the self-defeating nature of Crockett’s logic, saying, “Why is she saying we, when it was her ancestors and African Americans who have all freedoms now. Don’t be a dwell of the past. Look at your future and a better tomorrow.”
