Ah yes, another day, another moment of stunning brilliance from the rising star of the Democratic Party, Rep. Jasmine Crockett — or as some on the left seem to think of her, the next great political mind of our time. If by “great” you mean loud, fact-challenged, and fueled entirely by vibes, then sure. Let’s crown her already.
This week, she took to the House floor to deliver what she clearly thought was a mic-drop moment: a rapid-fire list of GOP names supposedly tied to “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.” Sound serious? Scandalous? Scorching? Yeah, one problem. Wrong Epstein.
Turns out, the “somebody named Jeffrey Epstein” she was breathlessly accusing of funding everyone from Mitt Romney to George W. Bush wasn’t that Jeffrey Epstein — not the convicted sex offender and disgraced financier whose name you don’t toss around lightly. No, she smeared her political opponents with donations traced to an entirely different Epstein. Because why bother verifying your facts when you’ve got a House floor and a microphone, right?
Yes Crockett, a physician named Dr. Jeffrey Epstein (who is a totally different person than the other Jeffrey Epstein) donated to a prior campaign of mine.

This is the level of discourse now. Just throw out a scandalous name, shrug when it’s the wrong person, and pivot to a “the FEC filings are out there” line like you’ve just delivered some smoking gun. It’s political Mad Libs, Democrat edition — insert villain name here, attach it to your enemies, and hope nobody checks the details.
But it’s not like this is a one-off. Rep. Crockett has made a name for herself by going full performance mode every time a camera turns on. Last year, she casually agreed — in public — with a claim that Republicans “want poor people to die as quickly as humanly possible.” That’s not an exaggeration. She literally responded “I agree” when that line was delivered at a town hall. And this is someone being paraded around as the party’s future?
Let’s not forget the now-infamous “Governor Hot Wheels” moment, either. Crockett stood at a Human Rights Campaign event and mocked Texas Governor Greg Abbott — a man who’s been in a wheelchair since a tragic accident in his twenties — and called him “Governor Hot Wheels.” And just to make sure everyone caught the tone, she added, “The only thing hot about him is that he is a hot-a** mess, honey.” Real classy.
Of course, when the backlash came, she insisted she wasn’t making fun of his disability. Uh-huh. Totally believable… except for the part where she had recently liked and shared a post mocking Abbott specifically for rolling up to the White House in his wheelchair. Oops. So much for plausible deniability.
This isn’t just about one out-of-line comment. It’s a pattern. A pattern of disrespect, misinformation, and media-enabled immunity. Because if a Republican said even half of this — imagine a GOP rep misidentifying a major Democratic donor and falsely tying them to scandal, or mocking a disabled Democrat’s mobility device with a cheeky nickname — the media would be staging emergency roundtables and calling for resignations before dinner.
But when Jasmine Crockett does it? Crickets. Or worse, applause.
Let’s be clear: Crockett’s behavior isn’t some edgy political style. It’s not courageous truth-telling. It’s reckless, juvenile, and yes, mean-spirited. And yet the left keeps holding her up like she’s some sort of cultural icon, all because she screams loud enough and plays to their favorite narrative: Republicans bad, facts optional.
Jasmine Crockett makes an absolute fool of herself when she is asked to correct the record about accusing Republicans of taking donations from a different Dr. Jeffrey Epstein:

If this is the “future” of the Democratic Party, it says a lot. It says they value noise over nuance, drama over decorum, and petty one-liners over public service. Maybe it plays well on TikTok, but it’s not serious leadership. And while Crockett chases clout, the rest of us are left shaking our heads, wondering when the adults are going to retake the room.
But sure, let’s keep pretending this is what America wants — a political stage run by people who can’t even vet their own research before smearing others on the House floor. What could possibly go wrong?
