Three Key Takeaways:
- Jasmine Crockett lashed out after Donald Trump labeled her a “lowlife” with a “very low IQ” in response to her opposition to his executive order dissolving the Department of Education and shifting authority back to the states.
- Trump’s remarks intensified Crockett’s already provocative statements, which have drawn criticism for urging violence against Elon Musk and ridiculing Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s disability.
- Her behavior has sparked increasing pushback, with demands for her censure in the House underscoring rising friction within the Democrat party and across the political spectrum.
Democrats are still fuming over Donald Trump’s return to the White House.
And one leftist congresswoman is leading the charge with increasingly unhinged attacks.
Jasmine Crockett erupted into a blind rage after Donald Trump destroyed her with one brutal assessment.
Trump labels Democrat firebrand as low-intelligence troublemaker
Donald Trump has wasted no time implementing his America First agenda since returning to the White House in January.
Last week, the President took aim at one of the most bloated federal bureaucracies by signing an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education.
The order declared that “the experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars – and the unaccountable bureaucracy those programs and dollars support – has plainly failed our children, our teachers, and our families.”
Trump’s executive order directs the Education Secretary “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the States and local communities while ensuring the effective and uninterrupted delivery of services, programs, and benefits on which Americans rely.”
The Department of Education was created in 1979 during Jimmy Carter’s presidency and has since ballooned into a federal behemoth spending more than $60 billion in taxpayer dollars annually.
Despite this massive expenditure, American education continues to decline. According to this year’s National Assessment of Educational Progress, 70 percent of 8th graders are below proficient in reading and 72 percent are below proficient in math.
Democrat congresswoman goes on unhinged rant against Trump’s plan
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) immediately lashed out at Trump’s education reform in an interview with CBS.
“I think it’s a bunch of malarkey,” Crockett fumed. “It doesn’t really make sense. I don’t think this is really a partisan thing – this is evil vs. good.”
This isn’t the first time Crockett has made headlines with her inflammatory rhetoric. She’s been in the spotlight recently for increasingly violent language directed toward Elon Musk and Republicans.
Former Attorney General Pam Bondi put Crockett on notice after she called for “Elon to be taken down.” Republicans are also moving to censure her after she mocked Texas Governor Greg Abbott for being in a wheelchair.
During a Wednesday morning Newsmax interview, Trump didn’t hold back his assessment of the Texas Representative.
“She’s a lowlife, and she’s a very low IQ person, and a lowlife,” Trump stated bluntly. “And I don’t imagine the Democrats are going to have a person like that running their Party. If they do, they’ll never win an election again.”
Trump predicted her days in politics are numbered, saying, “I can’t imagine she’s gonna last long. To be smart, you do need a brain, you can’t get around with little quips.”
The President admitted he initially thought Crockett must be a comedian rather than an elected official.
“She truly is a very low-level person on the very important chart of intelligence,” Trump remarked. “At first I thought she was a comedian, I couldn’t believe she was a Member of Congress or whatever she is.”
He concluded that “the Democrats are gonna suffer with this one.”

Trump’s calculated takedown exposes larger Democrat problem
Trump’s direct attack on Crockett’s intelligence seems calculated to trigger exactly the kind of emotional outburst that has repeatedly damaged her standing, even among fellow Democrats.
The Texas representative has become a liability for her party with her tendency toward inflammatory rhetoric that crosses lines most politicians know to avoid.
Her comment framing Trump’s education policy as “evil vs. good” exemplifies the kind of divisive language that moderate voters have increasingly rejected.
By calling attention to her behavior, Trump is highlighting the radical elements within the Democratic Party that contributed to their 2024 election losses.
While the Department of Education closure will undoubtedly face legal challenges, Trump’s strategy of returning power to states aligns with his America First platform that resonated with voters.
The move is part of a broader effort to dismantle the administrative state and fulfill campaign promises to reduce federal overreach.
With Democrats like Crockett serving as the face of opposition, Trump benefits from the contrast between his policy-focused approach and what many Americans see as unhinged resistance.
The President clearly understands that Crockett’s hotheaded nature makes her an ideal foil – her inevitable angry response to his criticism will likely only further embarrass the Democratic Party as they struggle to find their footing after their electoral defeat.
