Representative Jasmine Crockett responded to comments made by President Donald Trump, where he referred to her as a “low-IQ person” during an interview with NBC News’ Meet the Press.
Trump made the comment while criticizing the “disarray” within the Democratic Party, claiming it lacked leadership and was overly reliant on aging figures such as Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders. He mocked Crockett specifically, referencing reports that some Democrats view her as the party’s future.
“They have a new person named Crockett. I watched her speak the other day. She’s definitely a low-IQ person,” Trump said. “They said she’s the future of the party. I said you have to be kidding. I don’t know what they’re going to do.” He added, “I really believe in a two-party system because it’s good to be challenged. I don’t know what they’re gonna do.”
