Jasmine Crockett melts down on ‘The View’ over ‘racist’ jab from JD Vance — and claims Republicans are disturbed by her
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas lashed out at Vice President JD Vance over comments he made ridiculing her “street-girl persona” as fake.
Crockett was asked by Joy Behar to respond to Vance’s comments when she appeared on “The View” on Tuesday.
‘Let me be clear: I understand what happens in the streets, but I don’t have to, quote, unquote, be a “street girl!”‘
“She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!” Vance said to loud applause from a Turning Point USA audience.
“So, first of all, my nails are real!” Crockett replied to laughter from the studio crowd.
“But I will say, what a lot of people don’t understand … is that Republicans are a lot better at doing focus groups. Right?” she added. “And so Democrats, we rely on poll, poll, poll, but focus groups allow you to kind of get down to the nitty-gritty of why people feel a certain way about certain things.”
Crockett is running for a U.S. Senate seat from Texas after Republicans redrew their congressional district lines to increase their odds of winning the midterm elections.
“Well, I can tell you that right now, what disturbs them is that I am able to get at a demographic that Democrats have been losing. Consistently in third-party polls, as well as my internal polling, it shows that those that don’t have a college degree, by over 70%, choose me,” she continued.
“Well, that’s a demographic that we’ve been losing — so now he’s like, ‘No no no, it’s all fake. Don’t believe that.’ No, the reality is that I was a criminal defense attorney. I was a public defender. I am somebody who walked into plenty of jails and dealt with real killers,” Crockett said.
“So let me be clear: I understand what happens in the streets, but I don’t have to, quote, unquote, be a ‘street girl,'” she concluded.

“Don’t you think that that’s racist? What is it?” Behar asked.
“Joy, you know it’s racist!” Crockett replied. “We know that, right?”
Video of Crockett’s comments were posted to social media.
Crockett is ahead of her competitor for the Democratic nomination, according to a recent poll.

Far-left Democrat spent thousands on luxury travel, including limousines and posh hotels, filings show
A new campaign spending report filed with the Federal Election Commission revealed that far-left Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has spent tens of thousands of dollars living the high life in 2025.
Crockett has emerged as one of the louder foul-mouths on the left to criticize the policies of President Donald Trump and gained prominence on social media for her outbursts.
She is weighing whether to run for US Senate as a way of dealing ‘karma’ for the redistricting passed by Republicans.
The filing documents more than $25K in luxury services that included high-end hotels and ritzy limousine rides while Crockett was visiting locations outside of her district, the 30th district in Texas.
The expenses were made in the period since January at locations that included Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco, as well as Los Angeles.
Among the hotel expenses were the following:
- $4,175.01 at the Ritz-Carlton
- $2,304.79 at the Luxury Collection
- $5,326.52 to the West Hollywood Edition in Los Angeles
- $1,173.92 to the Times Square Edition in New York City
- Over $2,000 to the Cosmopolitan and Aria resort in Las Vegas
- $2,703.14 to the Edgartown Inn in Martha’s Vineyard
- $3,160.93 at the Coco, also in Martha’s Vineyard
The congresswoman also reported paying $50K for security services.
Crockett has indicated that she is weighing whether to run for U.S. Senate as a way of dealing “karma” for the redistricting passed by Republicans.
“Because if you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away,” she said in October. “So we are, you know, the primary is the primary. That’s cool, but you got to win the general. So we are doing some testing here shortly to see if I can expand the electorate.”
