Crockett claims her ‘authenticity’ scares critics — until someone shows her this video

December 23, 2025 | | Print Article

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, believes she has figured out why conservatives can’t stand her.

In a moment so devoid of self-awareness that it should be studied by scientists for years to come, Crockett bragged that her “authenticity” is the reason the right is “afraid” of her. She joined MS Now, formerly MSNBC, to respond to Vice President JD Vance’s jabs at her, and judging by his response, she struck a nerve.

Watch:

“Well, first of all, he’s trying to rile up his base, because right now we know that no matter if we’re looking in deep red Tennessee, Mississippi or Georgia, we know that we’re swinging no less than 10 points,” Crockett said.

“And unlike what we’ve had historically in Texas, because I know that you talked about the Texas dream of turning us blue, is that we have a candidate in me who absolutely plans to talk to any and everybody, and that is why they are afraid. The fact that he said, I have a quote unquote ‘street girl persona,’ I’m sorry, but anybody that you talk to knows my credentials. They know that I’ve gone to school. They know that I’m educated. I never tried to put on some random story about where I came from, but at the end of the day, I am who I am and I am authentic. And that is actually what they are fearful of, is my authenticity. Because it rings true with every single American, whether they’re Texan or not,” she claimed.

“It rings true that I am fighting for real, everyday people. And instead of talking about policy, when you’re talking about the record speaks for itself, baby, let’s talk about your record, because the only reason you’re the vice president is because the current president tried to have his last [vice] president killed. Let’s talk about qualifications. Let’s talk about who is actually been fighting for people way before she ever ran for office, whether it was in the courtroom or if it was in the streets, making sure those that were out there wanting to exercise their constitutional right to come together and protest injustices,” the lawmaker continued. “I was representing pro bono people that were getting arrested as they were out in the streets. So listen, I don’t have time for him and their games. They are scared, and they should be scared. I need Texans to focus in. I need them to think about the fact that our two senators literally just voted against extending the Affordable Care Act, tax subsidies that would help almost an additional almost 4 million people that are on the marketplace in a state where we have 5 million that are completely uninsured. They basically are trying to put another 4 million people off of their insurance.”

“And this is before we endure the cuts that are coming because of the big ugly bill, where we know 17 million people in this country are going to lose their health care. Listen, I’m staying focused. I’m not going to be distracted. And when they can tell me about their policies that are helping Texans, then we can have a conversation. Until then, take whatever shots you want to take at me. Because I have been a black woman my entire life. I promise you, there are other people just like jd Vance, who have tried to do the same racist tropes my entire life, and somehow I ascended and became a us congresswoman. It will not be different when I become a us senator, and we can have a conversation when I get to the Senate floor if he wants to talk,” her rant ended.
