WATCH: Rep. Jasmine Crockett Goes On Unhinged Rant About White People During Hearing

Published

on

During a House hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) unleashed a tirade. The congresswoman took aim at white Americans, dismissing their experiences and arguing that they are not entitled to use the term “oppression” because of their racial background.

Crockett asserted that white men in America have no claim to the term “oppression” because, unlike African Americans, they were not “dragged all the way across an ocean,” subjected to enslavement, or faced systematic brutality.

“There has been no oppression for the white man in this country. You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes,” said Crockett. “You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that, ‘you are going to go and work, we are going to steal your wives. We are going to rape your wives.’ That didn’t happen.”

“We didn’t ask to be here. We’re not the same migrants that y’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen,” she continued.

Crockett’s rhetoric turned explicitly partisan when she accused white Republican lawmakers of weaponizing the idea of oppression. “Don’t let it escape you,” she said, “that it is white men on this side of the aisle telling us, people of color on this side of the aisle, that y’all are the ones being oppressed.”

Earlier this month, Crockett secured her reelection to a U.S. House seat from Texas. The former public defender and civil rights attorney clinched her second term representing a district that includes parts of Dallas and its neighboring suburbs.
