Jasmine Crockett’s Controversial Comments Spark Backlash
Democratic rising star Jasmine Crockett is under fire for comments at a recent rally that many deemed racially insensitive. While discussing immigration and labor, Crockett sarcastically asked why Americans weren’t taking farm jobs and added, “We done picking cotton”—a reference to slavery that drew stunned reactions and viral criticism.
Her remarks, intended to highlight immigrant labor in agriculture, were slammed for trivializing the legacy of slavery. Critics argue she crossed a line by using painful history to make a political point. The video quickly spread online, fueling outrage and renewed concerns about the Democratic Party’s focus on identity politics over policy.
The incident also sparked debate over media bias, with conservatives claiming a double standard—asserting that similar remarks from the right would’ve triggered harsher coverage.
