On April 22, 2025, Rep. Jasmine Crockett went on Jimmy Kimmel Live and publicly declared that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was “still the dumbest person in Congress,” a moment the late-night circuit treated like water-cooler comedy instead of the petty political theater it really was. The clip spread quickly across social feeds, turning an insult into an earned news cycle for the left.
This kind of juvenile name-calling is all the Democrats have left when they can’t defend their policies or account for the disaster in their cities and on the border. Rather than answering voters’ real concerns about inflation, crime, and energy dependence, they default to performative mockery meant to rile up their base. The media’s applause for that tactic tells you everything you need to know about where their priorities lie.
Crockett’s late-night bravado is especially rich coming from someone whose own record has been wrapped in controversy and attention-seeking soundbites, including public gaffes that opponents have used to question her judgment. When Democrats lean on style over substance, they expose themselves to the very ridicule they dishing out, and the American people see through it. That hypocrisy should matter to anyone who believes competence still counts in Washington.
Meanwhile, Marjorie Taylor Greene is cast as the cartoon villain by a compliant press precisely because she refuses to shrink from fights on behalf of conservative voters and oversight of wasteful institutions. Critics sneer at her methods, but she has pushed substantive hearings and pushed back against a culture of taxpayer-funded indoctrination that elite media outlets ignore. If boldness is now labeled “stupidity” by the mainstream, then watch how the left uses the insult to dodge every hard question about their failed stewardship.
The late-night stage where Crockett’s remark was made is a perfect symbol of how the chattering class has abandoned seriousness for spectacle, normalizing contempt instead of promoting debate. Celebrities and comedians get cheers for humiliating political opponents while real problems pile up unaddressed in Main Street America. Conservatives should reject both the tame establishment that won’t fight and the left’s cheap theatrics that substitute insults for solutions.
Hardworking Americans don’t have time for playground insults, and they won’t be swayed by late-night comedians or Washington celebrities trying to set the agenda. If the GOP is serious about taking back trust, it must keep the focus on policies that secure the border, bring down costs, and restore law and order — not engage in the same moral smallness the left revels in. That means pressing the fight where it matters: in town halls, in courts, and in the voting booth.
This incident should remind patriots of a larger truth: the left’s contempt for political opponents is a symptom of ideological bankruptcy. They win headlines with mockery because they’re losing on ideas, and conservatives should respond with conviction, competence, and a refusal to be distracted from the real work of restoring America.
