Rep. Jasmine Crockett recently made headlines with her remarks about former President Trump, suggesting that he might need things explained to him as if he were in elementary school. Her comments have sparked a conversation about the way political figures communicate and the level of discourse we expect from our leaders. In a somewhat ironic twist, Crockett herself stumbled over her words, which didn’t go unnoticed by those paying attention.
“I, I, I, I don’t know,” she began, “I mean, it is, it is, it is crazy that this guy is about to walk into the White House for a second time.” Her statement has been shared widely across social media platforms like Twitter and YouTube without any alterations. Many people are discussing whether such statements help or hinder political dialogue.
Ta, ta, ta – TODAY JUNIOR!
NEW: Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a hard time getting words out of her mouth as she suggests Trump is dumb & needs to be talked to like he is in elementary school.
If you’re going to say something like that, maybe don’t talk like you’re in elementary school.

Crockett emphasized the importance of surrounding Trump with competent advisors. She expressed concern over his current choices, stating that “somebody needs to explain to him in a very elementary way why we don’t go after our friends.”
Roget Stone shot back, on X, “She’s lucky there isn’t an IQ requirement to be in the Congress. If her IQ was one point lower, you would have to water her like a plant.”

Paul Szypula chimed in, “Jasmine Crockett is even more low IQ than AOC. This is pure projection by Crockett right here.”

This is pure projection by Crockett right here.
It’s typical for her.
