Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) reacted sharply on social media after President Donald Trump referenced her during a nationally televised interview on NBC’s Meet the Press.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the remarks came during Trump’s sit-down at Mar-a-Lago with host Kristen Welker, which aired Sunday and focused on the first 100 days of his second term.

During the conversation, Welker asked Trump about the current state of the Democratic Party.

In his response, Trump took a direct swipe at Crockett, a first-term member of Congress from Texas who has been known for her outspoken style and frequent clashes with Republican lawmakers.
“I look at the Democrats, they’re in total disarray,” Trump said. “They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day, and she’s definitely a low I.Q. person. And they say she’s the future of the party.”

Following the broadcast, Crockett responded publicly via her official X account, accusing the president of targeting her out of fear and prejudice. “For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot,” she wrote.
“Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable,” she added. “So keep talking…”

Crockett’s post quickly circulated among supporters and critics alike, with many referencing her past statements and conduct during congressional hearings, including previous exchanges involving accusations of racism and confrontational remarks directed at political opponents and journalists.
President Trump’s comments on Meet the Press were part of a broader critique of what he characterized as the Democratic Party’s leadership problems and ideological drift.
Crockett, who was elected in 2022, has gained prominence in recent months for her frequent cable news appearances and her participation in heated committee hearings.
This is not the first time Trump has commented on individual Democratic lawmakers by name.
His remarks have often generated headlines and prompted responses from those targeted. Crockett, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, has previously described Trump as “dangerous” and “unfit to lead.”
NBC’s interview with Trump included segments on policy, border security, and the economy, but the exchange about Crockett stood out online, triggering a round of back-and-forth on social media.
