Watching Jasmine Crockett’s latest television tour is like watching a rehearsed talent show where the act desperately wants a trophy it doesn’t deserve. Her appearance on ABC’s The View produced what should have been a teachable moment—hosts publicly criticized Crockett for mocking Texas Governor Greg Abbott in a way that crossed the line, and they urged her to apologize.
Crockett’s “Governor Hot Wheels” joke wasn’t clever or brave; it was cheap, petty, and beneath someone campaigning for higher office. Even liberal daytime hosts who normally give Democrats a pass called out the ridicule of a disability as unacceptable behavior for any public servant, showing how tone-deaf and reckless her rhetoric has become.
That wasn’t the only melodrama. When confronted with JD Vance’s jab about her persona, Crockett broke down and accused Republicans of racism on live television, insisting that critics were trying to divide minorities about who she really is—then leaned hard on the performance. Her emotional theatrics have now become part of a pattern conservatives should view with suspicion rather than sympathy.
The pattern continues: Crockett even compared President Trump to Nicolás Maduro over recent foreign-policy actions, a comparison the White House blasted as a “braindead take.” When a candidate resorts to hyperbolic comparisons and manufactured outrage, it reveals a reliance on theatrics over substance—exactly the kind of politics that leaves hardworking Americans behind.
Republicans and independents watching this circus should not be fooled by the tears and the soundbites. Crockett’s brand is built on performance art—grandstanding in hearings, zingers on talk shows, and a steady diet of victimhood—that substitutes for real policy, accountability, and leadership. Voters deserve candidates who solve problems, not ones who chase headlines and applause lines.
Worse, her style drags down the credibility of elected office and gives opponents easy ammunition to portray Democrats as unserious and self-absorbed. If Democrats want to win back working-class voters, they’ll need to move beyond celebrity-style candidates and pick people focused on results rather than optics.
Americans who work for a living are tired of political theater and politicians who think a viral moment equals governance. It’s time to call out the hypocrisy on both sides, demand accountability, and send the message that leadership requires seriousness, not stunts. If Crockett wants to be taken seriously, she should start acting like it—apologize, own mistakes, and show some real substance.
