Jasmine Crockett is clappin’ BACK after President Donald Trump called her a “low I.Q. person” during a recent interview.
According to Fox News, President Donald Trump sat down with NBC News’ ‘Meet The Press’ for an interview that aired on Sunday, May 4. During his appearance, Trump reportedly discussed his M.A.G.A. successor, naming prospects such as Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. However, when the same question was asked for Trump’s thoughts on a successor for the Democratic Party, he reportedly couldn’t say much.
“I can’t name one Democrat. I mean, I look at the Democrats, they’re in total disarray. They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She’s definitely a low-IQ person. And they said she’s the future of the party. I said, ‘You have to be kidding,'” he stated.
Per the outlet, Trump also mentioned other Democrats amid his response reportedly naming Bernie Sanders and calling him a “nutjob.”
“I watch Bernie Sanders. He’s a nutjob, but he’s still sharp. He’s the same guy he was. He hasn’t gone down,” he said before adding. “But Biden is really he’s the worst thing to happen to old people… I don’t know what they’re going to do… It’s really good to have two parties, you know, it’s good. Being challenged is okay. It keeps you sharp. I don’t know what they’re going to do.”
That same day, Crockett apparently caught wind of President Trump’s sentiments and reacted to his words with a statement shared via X, formerly known as Twitter. Peep the president’s comments and Crockett’s reaction below.
“For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot. Every time you say my name, youre reminding the world that youre terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking,” she wrote.
Meanwhile, social media users reacted to Trump’s words and Crockett’s clapback in The Shade Room’s comment section.
Instagram user @drnyc7 wrote, “The fact that he even mentioned her name shows he knows shes got power, authority, a noteworthy voice, influence, and that shes someone hes definitely concerned about. ”
While Instagram user @sirxcarter added, “And she can run circles around you Donald”
While Instagram user @shaunt added, “I tapped out at ‘Low IQ'”
While Instagram user @cmfphotographyy added, “Jasmine Crockett is not to be played with”
Donald Trump isn’t the only one to spark words from U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett. As The Shade Room previously reported, in February, Crockett was asked to share what she would say to Elon Musk if she could speak directly to him.
“F**k off,” Crockett said brazingly.
Ultimately, her brief but firm words went viral, sparking a slew of reactions on social media.
