WATCH: Crockett Smears Charlie Kirk On Day Of Memorial, Rails Against ‘Caucasian’ Democrats

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) echoed comments made by Rep. Ilhan Omar (R-MN) in slandering the late Charlie Kirk, on the day 200,000 people are set to attend his memorial service, as a racist who targeted “people of color.”

Crockett joined 57 other Democrats in voting against a resolution honoring Kirk’s life and legacy in the House earlier this week. Democrats have repeatedly taken Kirk’s quotes out of context by chopping up brief, 10-second segments of long answers.

Notable examples include the false claim that Kirk claimed black women do not have adequate brain processing power, a heavily-edited clip to claim Kirk said gun deaths were necessary, and a number of outrageously edited quotes about religion. Despite the fact that such claims have been thoroughly debunked by activists like Amir Odom, false quotes attributed to Kirk have been cited as rationale for voting against the resolution by Crockett and her far-left colleagues.

“So, meanwhile, you obviously feel very strongly about the rhetoric that Charlie Kirk used that you find objectionable and also from others in the MAGA movement. As the memorial service for him is going to happen later today, there is a debate over heated rhetoric on all sides,” CNN’s Dana Bash said to the congresswoman on Sunday’s edition of “State of the Union.”

“Whether it’s heated or not, the fact is Charlie Kirk should still be here. It should not have been that there was political violence that resulted because of the words that were coming out of his mouth, just like plenty of MAGA hates when I mentioned white supremacy, which kind of tells you where MAGA stands,” Crockett responded.

Bash then asked the congresswoman about a number of her own inflammatory statements, including ones in which she described President Trump as an “enemy” of the United States and compared him with Adolf Hitler. “But do you have a responsibility as an elected official not to raise the temperature, but rather lower the temperature, particularly when there are people out there who listen to elected officials all over the place who are not well, who use that as a way to instigate the political violence that you are calling out?” Bash followed up.

Crockett — who never condemned the Biden Administration’s censorship of social media platforms or prosecution of an individual for posting a meme —  refused to walk back her rhetoric and instead doubled down on comparing Trump to Hitler for “chilling speech” and “consolidating power. She went on to repeat a number of the aforementioned out of context quotes before doubling down on her decisions to vote against the resolution.

“We know that we still have laws that are on the book. This certain speech is not protected, that it does cross over when you were inciting violence, such as what we saw on January 6th, when you are doing what we consider to be a terroristic threat of some sort, where it’s a matter of, I’m not just saying it, but I have the apparent ability to carry that out. But me laying out historical facts, just like they don’t wanna talk about the fact that slavery was real in this country, and that my people were enslaved and dragged and raped and abused, and they don’t wanna account for any of that,” the far-left lawmaker continued.

She went on to state that she had no obligation to honor Kirk after falsely accusing him of attacking “people of color” and her specifically. “One of the things I do wanna point out that’s not been laid out, honestly hurts my heart. When I saw the ‘no’ votes, there were only two caucasians. For the most part, the only people that voted no were people of color,” Crockett said.
