Jasmine Crockett’s Hilarious Backhanded ‘Apology’ To Elon Musk Is Maximum Snark

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) admits she was wrong about the MAGA movement and one of its heroes, Elon Musk.

You probably recall that a main tenant of the MAGA movement spawned by Felon-in-Chief Donald Trump is that immigrants are stealing jobs from hardworking Americans, with some in the MAGA camp even suggesting that all of the new jobs being created in the United States are going to immigrants.

Another key point of Trump’s 2024 campaign, which was bankrolled to the tune of $277 million by Musk, is that the federal government needs to be cut back, even if that means shutting down agencies such as the Department of Education and slashing millions of jobs from the federal workforce.

All of this led Crockett to note there is indeed an immigrant taking jobs away from Americans.

His name, she revealed, is Elon Musk.

“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs,” Crockett said in a post on social media. “His name is Elon Musk.”

“He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals), & those that are keeping us safe (FAA), meals on wheels workers, head start, and the list goes on, so I’ll be the bigger person and admit to MAGA that I was wrong when I said immigrants wouldn’t take our jobs. You were 1000 percent correct.”

There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk. He’s snatching farms, government jobs (even those in which they manage our national security), and definitely those whose jobs are to root out fraud (inspector generals),

Indeed, Musk and his so-called DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) is wreaking havoc across the nation, with numerous reports that people allied with him are storming into agencies such as the Treasury Department and accessing computer files that control the disbursement of Social Security and tax refund checks. That alone is reason enough to worry, but the fact that an unelected South African-born billionaire appears to now be in control of the United States is also incredibly sobering. Who is actually in control of the federal government? Does anyone know?

None of this will end well, and this nation may lie in ruins when it’s over.

Jasmine Crockett: Donald Trump Is A ‘White Supremacist’ And I’m ‘Tired Of White Tears’

Texas Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has seen more than enough of what Bigot-in-Chief Donald Trump and his Republican minions in Congress have to offer the country, and she’s calling them out as the racist pieces of crap they are.

During an appearance on CNN yesterday, Crockett was asked by host Laura Coates about the recent appointment of Darren Beattie to serve under Secretary of State Marco Rubio despite having written in 2024, “Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men.”

Crockett replied, “He needs to go. Right now we have a white supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is backed up by other white supremacists.”

The congresswoman also noted that a high percentage of white supremacists resort to violence and yet “for whatever reason sit and they serve at the pleasure of the president. … They were the ones there on Jan. 6 tearing our democracy down physically and now we have them tearing us down from within.”

Coates noted that Trump had denied being a white supremacist, which led Crockett to respond, “I don’t care what he said.”

The Texas Democrat added, “When you look and you compare me to [GOP Georgia Rep.] Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to [GOP Colorado Rep.] Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder.”

Trump and his GOP allies, Crockett claimed, want to deny people of color an education “because they don’t want any more Kamala Harrises, they don’t want any more Jasmine Crocketts.” 

For future reference, if you want to know what American political figures are white supremacists, you don’t have to look any further than today’s GOP. They are actively working to try and drag the United States back to a time when only wealthy white men had rights the rights guaranteed to us all by the Constitution, a document they’d love to rip up and replace with Mein Kampf.

Congress Donald Trump

Jasmine Crockett Has The Perfect Clapback To Donald Trump’s Latest Absurd Demand

Even though he doesn’t become president for another month, Donald Trump is already making ridiculous demands of Congress that he seems to believe have validity.

Trump has even decided to insert himself into the process of passing a federal budget to avoid a government shutdown before funding expires on Friday, just days before Christmas.

Specifically, Trump is insisting that an increase in the debt ceiling be included in the bipartisan package that has been making its way through the House of Representatives, The Hill reports.

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle appeared caught off guard Wednesday as President-elect Trump demanded that a debt ceiling hike be paired with a stopgap government funding bill, rejecting a sweeping bipartisan plan to avert a government shutdown this week.

Trump said in a joint statement with Vice President-elect JD Vance that while the party wants disaster aid and support for farmers — issues that are tackled in the temporary funding plan — he wants Congress to pass a “streamlined spending bill” that doesn’t give Democrats “everything they want” and has “an increase in the debt ceiling.”

Trump’s demands didn’t sit well with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), who told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner, “This quote unquote ‘mandate’ that MAGA thinks exists, it ain’t going nowhere because they literally can’t do the basics. We have passed the least amount of bills in this Congress because of the Republicans.”

“Listen, I ain’t got no favors for you, Trump. When you get here then yes, you will have the House, the Senate as well as the White House and y’all can see if y’all can figure it out. But right now, I am not trying to shut down this government…” Crockett added, making it clear she has no plans to take marching orders from a rapist president-elect who thinks he can issue edicts via social media.

Jasmine Crockett Has The Perfect Clapback For Republicans Whining About The Hunter Biden Pardon

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) masterfully slammed Republicans for their blatant hypocrisy regarding President Joe Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter, which was announced Sunday evening by the White House.

Appearing on MSNBC shortly after news of the pardon broke, Crockett noted, “Because at the end of the day, we know that we have a 34-count convicted felon that is about to walk into the White House.”

Crockett also had a brilliant clapback aimed at “anyone who wants to clutch their pearls” over the president pardoning his son, who was convicted in June of illegally possessing a gun and also pleaded guilty in September for a tax offense.

“I would say take a look in the mirror because we also know that when it comes to this Cabinet, this Cabinet has more people accused of sexual assault than any incoming Cabinet probably ever in the history of America,” she added.

“So we are living in unprecedented times and we know that this was completely political, as someone who serves on the [House] oversight committee, this was gamesmanship the entire time.”

Jasmine Crockett Has An Angry Message For Ted Cruz – And It’s Perfect

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is sick and tired of Republican politicians in the Lone Star state who continue to pass restrictive anti-abortion laws and then refuse to explain why they’re so obsessed with controlling women’s bodies.

Crockett teed off on Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) during an appearance on “All In With Chris Hayes” Friday evening, noting that he’s a politician and not a doctor.

“I don’t want my governor, I don’t want AG Paxton, I definitely don’t want Ted Cruz telling me what to do with my body if my doctor has a recommendation because the last time I checked, I don’t need any of them to be my doctor.”

She added, “I don’t want them to be my elected officials.”

Host Chris Hayes referenced the most recent case of preventable death in Texas: Nevaeh Crain, a teen who died when doctors delayed treating them after they miscarried, playing a clip of Cruz being asked about why he doesn’t support exceptions to the state’s draconian anti-abortion law.

“Why is this an issue you won’t address, about saying whether you support or oppose exceptions like rape and incest?” asked debate moderator Jason Whitely.

“Jason, I’m curious, why do you keep asking me that?” Cruz replied.

Crockett said this about Cruz’s refusal to answer a direct question: “When you can’t answer a question, that is the answer, right? And the idea that we should just trust you, we shouldn’t trust you. Not when people are dying. You guys are not going to save us. You are going to, again, inflict more pain.”
