Sen. John Kennedy didn’t mince words when he joined Lara Trump’s My View to talk about rising Democrat firebrand Jasmine Crockett — he warned conservatives that her brand of politics is out of step with the country and bluntly said she’s “wrong on every issue.” Kennedy’s straight-shooting assessment was a welcome breath of common sense in a media landscape that too often treats progressive theatrics like viable governing plans.
Crockett formally filed to run for the U.S. Senate in Texas just ahead of the state’s deadline, launching a long-shot bid to flip a GOP-held seat that national Democrats will portray as their best hope in 2026. Her announcement instantly nationalized a race that is already shaping up to be a high-stakes referendum on the direction of the Democratic Party.
Make no mistake: Crockett’s rise is built on spectacle and rhetoric, not on conservative instincts that actually win elections. That’s exactly the point Kennedy kept hammering — Democrats keep trotting out loudmouth activists and then act surprised when their candidates can’t win middle America. Conservatives should relish the contrast between kitchen-table voters and the coastal elites who cheer Crockett’s theatrics.
The Democratic field in Texas has been unsettled, with prominent figures like Colin Allred stepping back from the Senate scramble to pursue other offices, giving Republicans breathing room to sharpen their message and draw contrasts on competence and priorities. The GOP should treat this moment as an opportunity to make the case that Texans prefer steady leadership over virtue-signaling drama.
The polling so far shows the uphill climb Democrats face statewide in Texas, and conservatives shouldn’t mistake a noisy primary for real majority support. If Republicans keep their eye on bread-and-butter issues — the economy, the border, public safety — Kennedy’s blunt warning about Crockett will prove prescient and useful on the campaign trail.
Patriots know that elections are contests of ideas and character, and Kennedy’s plainspoken rebuke is a useful reminder: when Democrats nominate radicals and agitators, the job of conservatives is to expose the consequences and mobilize voters who want real results. This isn’t about cheap attacks — it’s about defending the American values of hard work, law and order, and common-sense governance against those who would tear them down.
