We’ve been covering how extremely anti-Trump Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has been, especially recently, throwing out all sorts of accusations about President Donald Trump. Just when it seems she couldn’t go any further, she comes up with a worse comment. Democrats’ performative tricks weren’t merely limited to the outbursts in the chamber on Tuesday night when Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Crockett did her own event, “24-Hour State of the People Marathon,” meant to counter Trump’s speech. It was then that she made some rather noteworthy remarks about Trump, immigration, and black people.
As Rusty Weiss at our sister site of RedState shared, Crockett, gesturing wildly as she did so, went on a rant about how they have decided to go after immigrants, and things like that, and they’ve said, ‘oh, they’ve taken your black jobs, they’ve taken your black jobs,'” adding, “not really.”
“They are obviously jobs that they want us to go back to,” Crockett continued. “Such as working the fields, all right?” The Reverend Dr. Frederick D. Haynes, III, whom Crockett was speaking to, could be seen nodding along in agreement. “Those immigrants that come into our country, they work the fields, something that we ain’t done in a long time, and clearly, he is trying to make us go back to the fields!”
As Weiss also pointed out, such claims are reminiscent of the 2012 reelection campaign for Barack Obama, when Joe Biden was his vice president. Speaking before a crowd on the campaign trail, Biden declared that Republicans were “going to put y’all back in chains!”
These fearmongering talking points about immigrants may sound nice to far-leftists to gin up their supporters, but that doesn’t make them any more true. Democratic allies in the legacy media also repeat such narratives, though, as we saw at the very start of the second Trump administration, especially over CNN.
