Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is once again making headlines with her sharp commentary on both national politics and the Republican-led redistricting fight in her home state.
On social media this week, Crockett poked fun at the loyalty of former President Donald Trump’s supporters, specifically targeting the symbolic power of the red “Make America Great Again” hats. She shared a video clip of Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, who accused Trump of strategically favoring Russia, calling him an “asset” to the Kremlin.
“That’s obvious to nearly everyone,” Crockett wrote, before taking aim at Trump loyalists. “Except those red hats shield their brains from taking in facts & data.”
The congresswoman’s online jabs didn’t stop there. A day earlier, she blasted Trump supporters who troll her on social media, labeling them “mentally ill” and “grade A losers.” In another post, Crockett said she keeps a running list of accounts she refuses to follow. “Starting with anyone who considers themselves to be MAGA,” she said. “You have to ask yourself … God, what is wrong with me? And then pray he delivers you from your illness … let us all say together, AMEN!”
Crockett’s fiery rhetoric comes as she navigates an uncertain political future in Texas. Under newly proposed congressional maps, her home would be drawn out of the 30th District, which she has represented since January 2023, and placed in the neighboring 33rd District. The redistricting effort, spearheaded by Republicans, is designed to give the GOP five new majority seats in Texas.
In an interview on Eye On Politics, Crockett accused state Republicans of deliberately redrawing her out of her district. “I’m debating about where I will run where they put me, which is where I live, in 33,” she said.
Despite the shift, political analysts note that both the 30th and 33rd Districts are expected to remain Democratic strongholds, with large Black voting populations in Dallas and Tarrant counties. Still, Crockett’s decision on whether to stay in her current district or run in the new one could shape the Democratic field heading into 2026.
