Washington, D.C. – Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has ignited a firestorm in conservative circles after delivering a blistering critique of President Donald Trump at a MoveOn progressive event on Sunday, labeling him a “piece of s***” and accusing Republicans and the Supreme Court of enabling his actions.
The Texas congresswoman’s remarks, which called for Democrats to adopt an “aggressive” approach to reforms like imposing a Supreme Court ethics code, have gone viral on social media, drawing fierce condemnation from MAGA supporters who have responded with personal attacks, including racist and sexist vitriol.
Crockett’s Bold Remarks at MoveOn Event
Speaking at the MoveOn event, Crockett did not mince words in addressing what she sees as systemic failures enabling Trump’s behavior.
“Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of shit, we know that. He is,” she declared, prompting applause from the progressive audience. She argued that in a “functioning democracy,” Trump would face accountability, but blamed complicity from House and Senate Republicans, as well as the Supreme Court, for allowing him to evade consequences.
Crockett emphasized the need for Democrats to push bold reforms, including reining in the Supreme Court with a code of ethics to address perceived biases.
The remarks, captured on video, have since spread rapidly across platforms like X, amplifying Crockett’s message but also triggering a wave of backlash from conservative commentators and Trump supporters.
MAGA’s Heated Response
Crockett’s characterization of Trump has incensed right-wing users on X, who have unleashed a barrage of personal attacks targeting her demeanor, appearance, and even her choice of attire—specifically, ripped jeans worn during the event. The criticism has often veered into overtly racist and sexist territory, reflecting a broader pattern of vitriol directed at the congresswoman.
Conservative commentator Kyle Becker claimed Crockett “has absolutely lost her mind,” while the website Conservative Brief labeled her “unhinged” and accused her of suffering from “Trump Derangement Syndrome that prevents her from wearing decent clothes.” An “America First” user sarcastically remarked, “Very classy,” in response to her comments.
More inflammatory attacks came from prominent MAGA accounts. One called Crockett an “attention whore” and attempted to coax X’s chatbot, Grok, into making a lewd joke about the holes in her jeans, implying a sexual innuendo. When Grok did not comply, the account demanded it “be more creative and remove the woke crap.”
Pro-Trump commentator David Freeman, known as Gunther Eagleman on X, branded Crockett “Ghetto Trash,” while another popular right-wing account challenged, “Tell me she is not ghetto!!”
The attacks have drawn criticism for their reliance on racist stereotypes and gendered insults, particularly targeting Crockett as a Black woman in Congress. Her choice of ripped jeans, a casual style common in public settings, has been disproportionately fixated upon as a point of derision.
Trump’s Own Record of Coarse Rhetoric
The outrage from Trump’s supporters carries an air of irony, given the president’s well-documented history of using crude and inflammatory language. Trump has frequently employed vulgarities in public and private settings, setting a tone that has coarsened political discourse. At his 2024 Madison Square Garden campaign rally, for instance, he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as a “shit vice president,” a remark that mirrors the kind of language Crockett used but drew little backlash from his base.
Trump’s penchant for personal insults is also well-known, often targeting critics with racial or gendered undertones. He has repeatedly called Crockett and other Black critics “low IQ,” a phrase critics argue carries racist implications. Reports of Trump’s private conversations reveal a consistent pattern of profanity and derogatory remarks, showing the double standard in conservative criticism of Crockett’s rhetoric.
Why It Matters
Crockett’s remarks come amid heightened political polarization, with Democrats increasingly vocal about their frustration with Trump’s influence and perceived protections from Republican lawmakers and judicial allies. Her call for aggressive reforms, particularly targeting the Supreme Court, reflects growing progressive demands for systemic change to counter what they see as institutional biases favoring Trump and his agenda.
The backlash on X highlights the ongoing cultural and political divide, with Crockett’s identity as a Black woman amplifying the intensity of attacks from MAGA supporters. The focus on her appearance and attire, rather than the substance of her critique, shows the personal nature of the response, which critics argue distracts from the issues she raised about accountability and democratic integrity.
As a rising star in the Democratic Party, Crockett’s outspokenness positions her as a lightning rod for both progressive support and conservative ire. Her comments are likely to fuel further debate about the tone of political discourse and the role of race and gender in shaping public reactions to figures like her.

What Next?
The controversy surrounding Crockett’s remarks shows no signs of abating, with X continuing to serve as a battleground for competing narratives. Supporters of the congresswoman have begun rallying to her defense, praising her candor and pushing back against the racist and sexist attacks. Meanwhile, MAGA voices are doubling down, framing her comments as evidence of Democratic desperation.
As the midterms approach, incidents like these are likely to shape the broader political narrative, with Democrats leveraging Trump’s polarizing presence and Republicans seeking to deflect criticism by targeting outspoken opponents like Crockett.
For now, the Texas representative remains unapologetic, standing by her call for accountability and reform in the face of a firestorm.
