‘Lift the hoods’: Jasmine Crockett likens Republicans to KKK as journalist exposes her ‘ghetto as hell’ district
U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is now comparing Republicans in America to both the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis, while a journalist is exposing shocking “blight” in her own “ghetto as hell” district.
Crockett’s comments came during an interview with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi on Saturday.
The topic initially focused on the Texas gerrymandering controversy, as numerous Democrat lawmakers have fled the Lone Star State to prevent redistricting pushed by the GOP.
Crockett began by calling it “racial gerrymandering.”
“It’s not just even the fact that it’s gerrymandering. I want to be clear, this is racial gerrymandering, specifically in the state of Texas,” she explained.
Velshi noted: “Do you hear the stuff they’re saying about Gene Wu, by the way, talking about Asians, like how he’s connected to the Chinese Communist Party, like the racism? They’re not doing a great job at keeping it, you know, keeping the lid on that pot.”
Crockett responded: “No, I mean, honestly, when Trump came in the first time, they started to lift the hoods. Once Trump got in a second time, they decided the hoods were off. And listen, I’m perfectly fine with it because I want to know where you stand.

“I’m perfectly fine with it because I want to know that you’re a despicable human being who lacks all morality.”

“I want to know that you’re a despicable human being who lacks all morality, but wants to go around and teach and preach Christianity. I want to know who you are, because then I know how to deal with you.
“It is unfortunate that that is where we are, and it is one reason that it is so difficult for minorities to even try to listen to Republicans, because they consistently coddle people like neo-Nazis.”
Meanwhile, journalist Benny Johnson traveled to Crockett’s district in Texas, and on Saturday posted video of what he discovered.
“What I found shocked me. Business in collapse. Food lines. Trash everywhere. Skyrocketing crime. People are really hurting here,” said Johnson.
“Jasmine is OBSESSED with attacking Trump. But what has she done to help the people of South Dallas?”
“It’s ghetto as hell, it’s broke and hard to look at,” said Johnson. “So much blight.”
“The people living in South Dallas were kind to us. They were warm and gentle. And they deserve better than a code-switching theater kid playing a hood rat representing them in Congress.”

Last Tuesday, President Trump called Crockett “a very low IQ person” during a phone appearance on CNBC as he said “the Democrat Party is self-destructing.”
“You have this woman, Crockett. She’s a very low IQ person. Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding.”
LMAO! President Trump couldn’t help but throw shade at Jasmine Crockett this morning
“You have this woman, Crockett. She’s a very low IQ person. Somebody said the other day she’s one of the leaders of the party. I said, you got to be kidding. The Democrats are LOST!”

The president concluded: “The Democrats are lost. They have Trump Derangement Syndrome so bad that they can’t walk. They can’t talk. They don’t know where they’re going.”
