Rep. Jasmine Crockett Lambasted by Progressives for Appearing Onstage With Chris Brown

Mediaite.com:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing backlash from fellow progressives after taking the stage at a Chris Brown concert in Texas to honor the singer, with critics pointing to his sordid history of violence towards women. 

 

The Democrat appeared alongside Brown at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on Saturday, where she suggested that his career and impact, along with that of tourmate Usher, would be formally recognized. 

 

“We are here because of Chris Brown!” Crockett shouted as Brown stood beside her and the crowd erupted. “We are experiencing Black joy at the highest level. And I wanted to make sure we document that at the congressional level. So let’s give it up again for Chris Brown,” she added, embracing the singer before leaving the stage. Texas state Rep. Venton Jones (D) also joined Crockett onstage and presented Brown with a state resolution honoring his achievements in music and entertainment.

Funny how this works. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the renowned and latest Black Liberal Queen, who only has 4 months left in Congress and has accomplished nothing during her 4 years in the House outside of serving as the ratchet, black, face of the TDS movement, is receiving backlash from progressives for appearing onstage with Chris Brown?!? If only it was all so simple. Because I'm skeptical enough to believe that either Crockett doesn't give a f or she's playing the long game and catering to all the plethora of Black criminals she'll be helping out once she's out of Congress and back as a public defender in Texas.

Irrelevant National Association of Black Journalists Accuses Stephen A. Smith of ‘Pattern of Disparaging’ Black Women

Mediaite.com:

Stephen A. Smith fumed after being given a “thumbs down” by the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) — which accused him of a “pattern of disparaging” prominent Black women. 

 

The ESPN First Take host was called out at the NABJ’s annual convention in Atlanta, on Saturday — with the NABJ giving Smith a thumbs down for what it called a “recurring public pattern” from Smith of attacking Black women. 

 

“Smith has established a recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media,” said a narrator on a video played at the convention. “Such commentary reinforces harmful narratives, undermines the fair and respectful representation of Black women in public discourse, and stands in direct conflict with NABJ’s longstanding commitment to accurate, responsible, and inclusive portrayals of Black communities.”

Of course, it's well-documented that Stephen A. Smith has helped out or put on a plethora (from Kimberly A. Martin to Monica McNutt to Cari Champion) of Black women throughout his long career. That's why the NABJ (a long-standing, but irrelevant group if there ever was one) dissing SAS here is nothing more than atacking the guy because he's not a plantation Democrat who blames Trump for any and everything and never holds his party accounatble. Instead, Stephen A. dares to criticize Democrats when need be (including idiots like Jasmine Crockett) and when you're a political party stil mired in identity politics, that's going to piss your base of plantation Democrats really off and that's what going on here.

Bitter Democrat Congressman Jasmine Crockett Refuses To Campaign for Primary Opponent Who Beat Her, James Talarico

KERANews.org:

Outgoing U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett won't be at the Texas Democratic state convention this week to rally behind state Rep. James Talarico, telling the Dallas Morning News she has "no idea" if she will actively campaign for the Democratic nominee. 

 

That's not what she told KERA News earlier this year. In an interview with NTX Now's Ron Corning published March 3, Crockett said she "absolutely" would campaign for Talarico if he won the nomination. 

 

"The reality is that it has to be bigger than any single individual. This is about us winning, that is what it's about," Crockett said. "And when I say 'us winning' I mean us as Texans."

Talk about sour grapes. But outside of the usual Black Democrat plantation heads on the Left, no one should be surprised that an angry, professional-race-baiter like Crockett would fail to support her former opponent and Democrat Talarico in his bid for a Texas Senate seat. Especially now that Crockett's gone the race card route and blamed for dismal Senate campaign loss this past March on 'racism'. Crockett, who'll probably head to the podcast circuit and become a MSNOW and CNN regular once her Congressional term ends in a few months, just can't accept that her loss to Talarico was mostly due to her boorish attitude, lack of substance, refusal to step in platforms that would actually challenge her (like Stephen A. Smith, who practically begged her to come on his popular YouTube show several times after offering construtive criticism beforehand) and failure to advance populist ideas, not race. And that's the real reason her ego won't allow to help Talarico out.

James Talarico Defeats Jasmine Crockett in Texas Senate Primary Election

HoustonPublicMedia.org:

Austin state Rep. James Talarico beat Dallas Rep. Jasmine Crockett in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate, prevailing in a tight race that boosted the party’s hopes for a statewide win in November. 

 

With all but one of Texas’ counties and 85% of its polling locations reporting, Talarico had received 53.1% of the vote compared to 45.6% for Crockett, according to the Texas Secretary of State’s Office. The Associated Press early Wednesday morning called the race in favor of Talarico, who got a surge of exposure and financial backing at the start of early voting after his appearance on “The Late Show” with Stephen Colbert was scrapped from the CBS broadcast but viewed by millions on YouTube. 

 

“We’re about to take back Texas,” Talarico said in a Wednesday morning statement, referring to Democrats’ quest of winning a statewide election for the first time in more than 30 years. In the November general election, Talarico will face the winner of the Republican primary, which is headed to a May 26 runoff between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

I'm convinced that Crockett never truly wanted to win this Senate rcae. First, there's the fact that not too long ago she went on The Breakfast Club and bragged about how she could make more $$$ outside of politics. Secondly and more importantly, there's Crockett's Senate campaign itself: an awful strategy that contained nothing but identity politics, continuous Trump smears, only doing friendly interviews with press (while being hostile towards those doing real journalism) and almost never talking about her actual policies or what she could do as a Senator to make Texan working-class voters lives better. That said, a Biden shill through and through and certified Democrat-establishment leech, even after her loss I highly doubt that we've seen the last of Jasmine Crockett when it comes to politics.

Jasmine Crockett’s Senate Campaign Reportedly Called Police on CNN Reporter

Mediaite.com:

The Senate campaign of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is intensifying hostilities with disfavored reporters, according to Semafor. 

 

In a report published on Tuesday, the outlet said that in separate incidents this month, Crockett’s campaign called the police on CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere and escorted Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey off the premises at a campaign rally. 

 

Earlier this month, Crockett’s campaign called the Capitol Police on Dovere because “he may have trespassed when he attempted to visit a campaign office location.” Dovere interviewed Crockett in December before she announced her Senate run.

Recent polls show Crockett leading her primary challenger, James Talarico, by as much as 12 points, and that sizable advantage may be emboldening her campaign strategy. With a comfortable margin, Crockett appears increasingly willing to take a harder line with the press, including reportedly removing reporters she doesn't like from campaign events, while benefiting from her media allies who lobe her for always bashing Trump. Her lead in the polls also helps Crockett avoid less predictable platforms like Stephen A. Smith's podcast (who've been begging Crockett for an interview fot awhile now) where she might face more pointed questions about her policy positions and often combative demeanor> But with a huge lead in the polls Crickett can instead opt for friendly interviews that focus heavily on attacking President Trump rather than scrutinizing her own record. So right now there's little incentive for Crcokett to change course, meaning voters are likely to see more tightly controlled appearances and continued confrontational moments on the campaign trail.

Texas State Representative James Talarico (D) Enjoys Fundraising Windfall of $2.5 Million in Campaign Donations After Trump/FCC Lie

Mediaite.com:

Texas state Representative James Talarico (D) enjoyed a fundraising windfall of $2.5 million in campaign donations towards his primary run for US Senate candidacy, a spike that came within just 24 hours after Stephen Colbert claimed his scheduled interview on The Late Show was pulled by CBS. 

 

Talarico had been scheduled to appear on The Late Show on Monday but, instead of appearing on the broadcast, Colbert told viewers that network lawyers had advised against airing the segment over concerns it could violate the Federal Communications Commission’s “equal-time” rule. The segment was later uploaded to YouTube, where it rapidly amassed millions of views. 

 

The move triggered widespread backlash and a wave of small-dollar donations to the lawmaker’s campaign in the day since. He is currently running in primary against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to compete for the senatorial seat.

So basically, Colbert stirred up the mainstream media and members of the Resistance by suggesting that CBS was caving to pressure from the Trump-aligned FCC and censoring both him and James Talarico. However, CBS comes out with a statement later indicating that they simply gave Colbert the option of putting the interview on his YouTube Channel instead to avoid getting in any trouble with the FCC's "equal-time rule" and force him to have to platform Talarico's primary opponents like Resistance figure-head Jasmine Crockett. Meanwhile, Talarico capitalized on the lie, raising $2.5 million for his campaign coffers...I tell ya, you can't hate the liberal media enough.

Jasmine Crockett Revives the Identity Politics Apology Playbook...with Help from Bowen Yang

TheDailyBeast.com:

Comedians Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers are backpedaling after facing backlash over their comments about Rep. Jasmine Crockett. The Las Culturistas podcast hosts had discussed various politicians on an episode of their show published on Jan. 8. 

 

During a segment of “I Don’t Think So Honey,” which features a one-minute rant about culture, Rogers had ripped into California Gov. Gavin Newsom, saying that he needed to get vocal surgery if he wanted to run for president. 

 

The co-host said that he was turned off “anytime a politician is making it too obviously about themselves.” This remark led into his discussion about Crockett, who is running for Senate in Texas. Two days after the podcast episode aired, the podcasters issued apologies. Yang promised to use his platform “more responsibly,” and Rogers vowed to “be more thoughtful.”

From a practical standpoint, apologizing for criticizing a politician should never happen. After all, politicians work for the public and should never be above scrutiny. Identity politics, however, changes that dynamic. Because regardless of the fact that Jasmine Crockett is pro-Israel, widely criticized as lacking substantive policy initiatives, and best known for publicly berating Donald Trump on the daily, any negative commentary about her risks being reframed as sexist and/or misogynistic rather than political disagreement. In this environment, criticism (as Stephen A. Smith found out recently) is no longer evaluated on its merits but filtered through identity, discouraging open debate and forcing a couple of progressive, gay white liberals to say sorry.

'Low IQ' Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett Picks the Wrong 'Epstein' While Making Claims About Republican Donors

TheDailyBeast.com:

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett was called out for dropping the names of a series of Republicans who took donations from Jeffrey Epstein, but she got the wrong Jeffrey Epstein. 

 

The Texas lawmaker and rising star of the Democratic Party was speaking on the House floor on Tuesday when she commented. “Folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein, as I had my team dig in very quickly: Mitt Romney, the NRCC, Lee Zeldin, George Bush, Win Red, McCain-Palin, Rick Lazio,” Crockett stated. 

 

Her remarks came as the House was considering the censure of Del. Stacey Plaskett for texting with the disgraced financier. “If this is the standard that we’re going to make, just know we’re going to expose it all and just know that the FEC filings, they are available for everybody to review,” she added.

So Crockett attacks EPA head Zeldin for receiving money from one "Jeffrey Epstein"--but it was actually a different Jeffrey Epstein, a NY doctor. To be fair, I wouldn't chalk this up to being stupid, but undeniably lazy instead as basic research could've shown the difference. Of course, Crockett is such an unhinged, hater of all things Republicans that it's always possible that she knew that she got the wrong Epstein before her speech and tried to defame Zeldin anyway--which would warrant a defamation suit. But nah, she ain't that dumb, right?

Stephen A. Smith Bends the Knee and Apologizes to Jasmine Crockett for Criticizing Her

FOXNews.com:

Radio host Stephen A. Smith posted a video Wednesday offering an apology to Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, after he previously called out her performative politics. 

 

Ahead of his show, Smith released a video titled "An apology to Jasmine Crockett" that addressed his past attacks on the Texas representative's fiery behavior. 

 

The cultural commentator said his comments had "been misconstrued and misinterpreted" by critics, but he felt compelled to defend Crockett after seeing "disturbing" comments about her from President Donald Trump.

Bottom line: SAS got the call. That’s what happened after he dared to offer constructive criticism (without insults or name-calling) toward the vile, race-baiting creature that is Jasmine Crockett. Indeed, the backlash from the Democrat shills and Black elites within the woke mob towards Smith was immediate, brash, and deeply personal. And, like a good little puppet, Smith folded. You see, Jasmine Crockett isn’t a typical politician that one can fairly critique or call out on her policies (or lack thereof(. She’s the angry face of the Democratic Party and beyond reproach, no matter how foolishly she consistently behaves on TV. So, the woke mob put SAS in his place, and oh so conveniently, the very next day, Smith shifted left and began attacking Trump. Good boy!

Angry, Vile Former MSNBC Host Tiffany Cross Calls Stephen A. Smith A "Self-Hating, Half-Witted" Commenter for Dissing Rep. Jasmine Crockett

TheGrio.com:

Tiffany Cross, a journalist and co-host of Native Land Podcast, made a similar yet more pointed critique of Smith and his support among Black men.

“You listen to Stephen A Smith and you find anything other than some absolute pure self-hating, little d–k energy nonsense from that half-witted idiot basking in the non-existent rays of his own ignorance,” said Cross. “It is sad to me that he even gets an audience of Black men. Why aren’t Black men right now saying: Stephen A Smith, we’re banning him. We’re not listening to his podcast. We’re not watching his show anymore. That’s what Black women do. We organize.”

Congresswoman Crockett also shared a post from Houston rapper and podcaster Willie D, who called Smith “weak.” “Stephen A. Smith taking shots at Jasmine Crockett ain’t just messy, it’s weak. Dude is sitting on one of the biggest mics in America, and instead of using it to uplift, he’s tearing down a Black woman who’s out here putting in real work. That ain’t critique, that’s betrayal,” wrote Willie D, real name William James Dennis.

To be fair, professional race-baiters like Tiffany Cross don’t just have a problem with Stephen A. Smith because he calls balls and strikes and refuses to shill for the Democratic Party (even though he’s a Democrat himself). Their real issue is that Smith dares to appear on the airwaves of their mortal enemy: FOX News, voicing legitimate criticisms of Black liberals and Democrats while yukking it up with his good buddy and staunch conservative Sean Hannity. Indeed, for many Black liberals, any association with FOX is the ultimate betrayal. 

That said, Tiffany Cross is a vile figure, incapable of offering constructive criticism at anyone who disagrees with her without resorting to name-calling, personal attacks and playing the race card. In fact, she’s arguably worse than her mentor Joy Reid, who practically wrote the book on getting paid to propagate for the Democratic agenda under the guise of Black representation. It’s no surprise then that both of their hateful, divisive schticks eventually became too much even for a liberal network like MSNBC, which fired them both. Either way, knowing Stephen A., he’ll almost certainly respond to Cross’s personal attacks on his podcast very soon and that’ll be highly entertaining to watch.
