Rep. Jasmine Crockett had some words for Vice President JD Vance.
At a Turning Point event in December, Vance was dismissive of Crockett’s upcoming Senate campaign.
“The record speaks for itself,” Vance said. “She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails.”
Crockett appeared on The View on Tuesday (Jan.6) and gave Vance a piece of her mind.
“First of all, my nails are real,” Rep. Crockett said. “Republicans are a lot better at doing focus groups.”
Crockett also explained that “what disturbs them is that I am able to get at a demographic that Democrats have been losing” for a long time.”
“Those that don’t have a college degree, by over 70 percent, choose me. That’s a demographic we’ve been losing,” she said. “So now he’s like, it’s all fake, don’t believe that.
The reality is, I was a criminal defense attorney. I was a public defender, I am somebody who walked into plenty of jails and dealt with real killers. So, let me be clear, I understand what happens in the streets. But I don’t have to quote-unquote be a ‘street girl,” she continued.
Panelist Joy Behar told Crockett that she is a “trigger” for conservatives.
Behar asked, “Don’t you think that that’s racist?”
Joy, you know it’s racist,” Crockett responded. “We know that.”
In December, Crockett formally launched her campaign for the U.S. Senate. The seat was previously held by Republican Senator John Cornyn.
At her announcement event in Dallas, Crockett B shared her platform with her supporters.
“Because Texans deserve a government that works for them. One that lowers costs, protects rights, and gives every family a fair shot,” Crokett said.
She then shot a warning at President Donald Trump/
“I’m coming for you,” Crockett said.
