“The level of incompetence is almost incomprehensible. It is so bad and when you bring up the idiot known as Elon Musk,” she said, drawing wild applause from the late-night audience, “he is not only very sinister and has no idea what he’s doing and people are like ‘Oh, no, he absolutely knows ‘cuz he’s the richest man in the world!’ Like, yes, he knows how to hire smart people, but don’t conflate that, and believe that he’s the genius ‘cuz he ain’t.”
X users raced to the comments to weigh in on Crockett’s statement:
Keep saying that Jasmine
It still won’t be true

I’m embarrassed she’s a United States congresswoman. How low are the standards going to get? What an absolute embarrassment
