Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, took aim at Project 2025 and former President Trump during a House Oversight Committee hearing that was scrutinizing policies form the Biden administration.
In an interview published Friday in Vanity Fair, Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, claimed that some Latinos exhibited a “slave mentality” when they voted for Donald Trump last month. NBC News’ Exit Poll reported Kamala Harris capturing 52% of Hispanic voters, compared with 46% for Trump. That was a 13-point increase from 2020 and a record-high for a Republican presidential nominee.
This shift reflects growing frustration with both parties and a rejection of outdated assumptions about political loyalty. On Tuesday, in a lengthy statement sent via email by her office in response to a request for comment, Crockett, instead of simply apologizing for what she said, attempted to clarify what she meant.
