Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), fresh off a string of self-inflicted media disasters, just poured gasoline on the fire — this time by taking a wildly racially-charged swipe at Republican Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) that also managed to insult several prominent Democrats, including Kamala Harris and her fellow Squad members.
Appearing on The Breakfast Club, Crockett went full identity politics in an attempt to dunk on Donalds, criticizing the Florida congressman for being — get this — married to a white woman. In a clip that’s gone viral on X, Crockett said, “If we continue to put into office skinfolk, who are definitely not our kinfolk, such as Byron Donalds… Or literally it’s because you married a white woman, so you think that whitewash you?”

Yeah. She actually said that.
And when host Charlamagne tha God pointed out that under Jim Crow laws, Donalds wouldn’t have been allowed to marry a white woman, Crockett shouted “Correct!” like it was some kind of gotcha. She then went on to mock Donalds further, claiming “It’s like they give him his talking points, and he’s like, ‘Yes massa, I got it.’”
Nothing says racial progress like invoking slavery-era language on a morning radio show to insult someone for their spouse’s skin color.
But Crockett didn’t stop with Donalds — she inadvertently blasted Kamala Harris, whose husband, Doug Emhoff, is also white. Oops. And she dragged her own progressive allies down with her, too. Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Summer Lee — all high-profile members of “The Squad” — are also in interracial relationships. Nice job, Congresswoman. Nothing like lighting your own tent on fire in the middle of a culture war.
Conservatives were quick to pounce, with viral videos showing Crockett’s comments spliced alongside images of the many Democrats — including Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — married to white partners. So much for unity and tolerance.

This isn’t Crockett’s first blunder. She recently drew outrage for mocking Texas Governor Greg Abbott as “Hot Wheels” because he uses a wheelchair. And just last week, she allegedly shoved a conservative journalist who asked a basic question about her stance on the recent wave of vandalism targeting Teslas.
Crockett, the daughter of a wealthy pastor and contractor, has tried to brand herself as a scrappy, street-talking progressive. But the viral video of her speaking without any accent before entering Congress tells a different story — and voters are starting to notice.
This wasn’t just a misstep. It was a political faceplant.
