Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) criticized President Donald Trump in a profane social media rant over the weekend, accusing him of bypassing Congress with military strikes on Iran and praising one of Trump’s Republican critics for attempting to rein in presidential war powers, as reported by Fox News.
In a video posted to Instagram Live on Saturday night, Crockett accused the president of “unilaterally” declaring war. “The mofo that resides in the White House has unilaterally, in my estimation, declared war,” she said. The term “mofo” is commonly used as shorthand for an expletive.

Crockett, a progressive member of Congress from Texas, alleged the Trump administration violated norms and the Constitution with the recent strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.

“We are living in this time in which there is someone who is occupying the White House who does not care about any rules, any norms, any laws, nor the Constitution,” she said. “And we cannot be a civilized country if there is no law and order.”
She also criticized Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts, stating, “They are not the people that are putting us in harm’s way. It is him and his administration that is putting us in harm’s way.”
Crockett urged her followers to speak out against the Trump administration and claimed the president had consistently put Americans at risk.

“I literally need you to wake them the f**k up, because everything since he has stepped into office has done nothing other than put us in harm’s way.”

She praised Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has partnered with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) on a bipartisan resolution to restrict the president’s authority to conduct military operations without congressional approval.
“Right now there’s only one Republican that I know I can count on for sure doing the right thing. And that’s going to be Thomas Massie,” Crockett said.
Massie, who has long expressed skepticism about foreign entanglements, said he believes the resolution could pass in the narrowly divided House.

“The Democrats aren’t very consistent about war, but when there’s a Republican in the White House, they find their religion, their anti-war religion again,” he told Fox News Digital.
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers have expressed differing views on the Iran operation.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) voiced concern over potential U.S. involvement in a broader conflict, while Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) praised the precision of the strikes but emphasized the need for congressional oversight.

The White House pointed to comments from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt in response to Crockett’s remarks. “Jasmine Crockett should go to a Trump rally sometime, and she can see for herself,” Leavitt said, defending the broad base of support for the president.

A White House official added, “The fact Jasmine Crockett is siding with Massie tells you everything you need to know about both of them.”
Massie’s office did not respond to a request for comment on Crockett’s video.
