Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, at the ripe age of 43, bestows upon the world a level of immaturity typically reserved for adolescent arguments. The woman, whom many in her party proclaim as a rising star, caused quite a stir when she chose to ridicule Texas Governor Greg Abbott for his physical disability. This, mind you, is a man who has dealt with paralysis for over four decades, due to an unfortunate accident in his youth. To utter the words ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ in reference to such a respected individual, truly, brings her character into question.
Yet, the narrative around Crockett doesn’t stop there. Rather than showing remorse for her poor choice in humor, Crockett adds further ammunition. ‘The only thing hot about him,’ she would elucidate on Abbott, ‘is that he is a hot-ass mess, honey.’ Bizarrely, the crowd took to these comments with applause rather than disgust. This behavior by Crockett, who is the daughter of a pastor, is puzzling, to say the least.
These incidents raise a compelling question: Where does the Democratic party stand against such behavior? Despite proclaiming a moral high ground, they haven’t done much to reprimand Crockett’s actions. Democratic party leaders, people who are supposed to guide the party’s moral compass, respond with silence rather than strict intervention.
Then, you have certain Democratic stalwarts like John Fetterman who stand their ground, recognizing inherent issues within the party. Yet, the silence and apathy towards them by the party paints a rather grim picture. However, the public is not oblivious to these elitist postures and snobbery; it serves as a motivator for why some drift away from the party.
Yet, the Democrats continue to baffle with their strategy. Barack Obama’s unusual shift in language and mannerisms towards black voters made heads turn. Without a sliver of subtlety, he urged them to support Kamala Harris, insinuating that it is their duty to do so – a feat that seemed to elide genuine grass-root issues.
And speaking of Kamala Harris, her attempts to contain her distinct Californian accent became a spectacle on the campaign trail. ‘Let’s just get through the next sixty-fow days,’ she tried, clearly an overreach in her move to appear more relatable. This comes on top of other failed attempts to win hearts – who can forget her uninspiring Bob Marley impression on Stephen Colbert’s show. Aptly put, it’s an irony for a UC Law School graduate.
Perhaps, the Democrats’ inability to see how these fail in authenticity contributed to their downfall. An infamous instance being, Joe Biden’s utterance during a 2020 interview that ‘if you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.’ It seems that self-awareness has been forsaken in the pursuit of political posturing.
Interestingly enough, Jasmine Crockett has shown the same absence of self-awareness. A product of elite private schools and an esteemed lawyer, Crockett casually dismissed illegal immigration with audacity. ‘It is not a criminal violation to enter the country illegally,’ she boldly put forward. ‘It is not a crime.’ Quite a disconnect from the consensus of the American populace, who seemingly advocate for secure national borders.
Crockett also drew a controversial conclusion around Kamala Harris’ campaign, labeling it as ‘flawless.’ Furthermore, her assertion that Hispanics voting for the opposing side have a ‘slave mentality’ seems an affront to the belief of respecting differing political leanings, adding to an increasing list of her distasteful comments.
But the troubling rhetoric doesn’t stop there. Smearing congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene with derogatory remarks and insulting Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, Crockett has shown a propensity for sowing discord rather than fostering constructive political dialogue.
Even though the Democrats may tout Crockett as a beacon of hope, her pattern of disrespectful language and elite attitudes give a different image altogether. So, is this the embodiment of the new value system in the Democratic party? Or simply an anomaly that’s being willfully overlooked by those at the helm?
In conclusion, Jasmine Crockett’s behavioral pattern is a clear reflection of a wider drift in values within the Democratic party. Going from mocking a person’s physical disability to insulting her political rivals, she has shown little signs of restraint or respect.
While the party’s leadership maintains a suspicious silence, the public isn’t blind to the hypocrisy. The lack of moral decorum displayed by leaders, coupled with their failure to call out such inappropriate behavior, paints a worrying picture of the current Democratic ethos.
