Jasmine Crockett Calls GOP Voters ‘Less Educated,’ Says They ‘Don’t Want To Read’: ‘These Are Just the Facts’
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) argued that “less educated folks” who “don’t want to read and enlighten themselves on facts” typically vote Republican on Friday
Crockett joined The Breakfast Club radio show on Friday and, while discussing President Donald Trump and his supporters, claimed that Democrats go into too much “detail” for some voters.
The congresswoman said:
This isn’t me trying to throw shade. These are just the facts. When you look at who’s voting for who, the less educated folk — and when I say educated, I’m not even talking about formal education, I’m talking about people that literally don’t want to read and enlighten themselves on facts. Those are the people that typically vote for the Republicans, and it’s one of the reasons that we have to stop writing in theses as Democrats. Like, we want to give you every single little detail that we can find so that you can have all the information. But the reality is that the average person that is going out there and voting, they’re not paying attention to that.
Crockett also Democrats have underestimated how “selfish” voters are, partially chalking up Trump’s win to racism.
She argued:
We fail to realize how selfish people are. People go out and they vote in their own self-interest. And so you had all these racists, they showed up and decided that they were going to vote for the other racists because they thought, hey, we are all the same. But the reality is that he is a rich racist. And so when he decided that he was going to look out for somebody, it was only going to be other rich white guys.
Crockett also cast doubt on Americans ever seeing actual dividends from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been advising on massive federal budget cuts. Crockett called the potential of dividend checks a distraction.
“As you’re losing your job, as you’re losing your Medicaid, as you’re losing your farm, you’re feeling a way because you’re like, wait a minute, ‘you were supposed to go after the others, not come after us,'” she said. “And now they’re saying, oh, well, we’ll give you a $5,000 check. I don’t see it happening.”
