We’ll Miss the Crockett Clown Show

Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has been a comedic boon to conservative media, but her latest failure is nothing to laugh at.

If you thought Jasmine Crockett would just quietly slink away after losing the Democrat Senate primary contest in Texas a couple of weeks ago, think again.

Crockett, the R-dropping St. Louis transplant who’s made a name for herself in Congress for all the wrong reasons, was at it again last night in the wake of the death of Diamon-Mazairre Robinson, a member of her security detail who was shot and killed by Dallas cops last week after pulling a gun during a brief standoff.

Robinson, though, landed his job with Crockett by using a fake name — Mike King — and had a lengthy criminal history, with arrests dating back as far as 2010 for offenses such as theft and violating probation. At the time of his death, police were investigating him for impersonating a police officer.

Stranger still, though, was Crockett’s statement, in which she said that they couldn’t find any “violent offenses” within Robinson’s “limited criminal history.” That’s a pretty low bar for a member of one’s security detail, wouldn’t you say?

The failed Democrat Senate candidate and soon-to-be former congresswoman then shifted the blame for Robinson’s hiring: “The fact that an individual was able to somehow circumvent the vetting processes for something as sensitive as security for members of Congress highlights the loopholes and shortcomings in many of our systems.”

You don’t say.

Sadly, Crockett is emblematic of today’s Culture of Unaccountability. Nothing is ever her fault. Further, for the past decade, Democrats have embraced the idea that if you’re a female and you stand up and say stupid things in the direction of Donald Trump, then you deserve to be taken seriously. How else to explain, for example, Crockett, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Sandy Cortez, or Maxine Waters?

Crockett, though, might be the best of them when it comes to boneheadedness. Remember when her crack team of researchers “broke” the “news” that “Jeffrey Epstein” had given a campaign contribution to former New York Congressman, former New York gubernatorial candidate, and current Trump EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin? Remember how she explained herself when it came out almost immediately that she had the wrong guy?

“Listen,” she commanded, “I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein. … Unlike Republicans, I at least don’t go out and just tell lies. … But when Lee Zeldin had something to say, all he had to say was, ‘It was a different Jeffrey Epstein.’ He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, so at least I wasn’t trying to mislead people.”

Got that? Despite the date of the donation being after that other Jeffrey Epstein was already dead, and despite the living Epstein having been clearly labeled as a physician on the donor record, Crockett still beclowned herself. Later, when gently confronted about it during a friendly interview, she doubled down on duncehood:

All this is of a piece with Crockett’s never-give-an-inch-even-on-an-own-goal mentality. As blogger Josh Barro writes:

Crockett is a partisan bomb thrower who delights the kind of Democrats who watch a lot of MSNBC and share a lot of memes on Facebook. You may have seen her refer to Marjorie Taylor Greene at a House committee hearing as a “bleach-blond bad-built butch-body” — whatever that means — and if you want, you can buy a t-shirt declaring that phrase a “Crockett Clapback.” There are more clapbacks where that came from: she stood up at the Human Rights Campaign gala and called wheelchair-using Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “Hot Wheels”; she said Hispanics who voted for Trump have a “slave mentality”; she called detractors of DEI programs “mediocre white boys.”

You get the idea.

A couple of months ago, before CNN’s Edward-Isaac Dovere drew the short straw and had to read the Crockett campaign’s website, the candidate’s “Mental Health” policy page read as follows: “Requiring all major insurance providers to include full mental healthcare coverage, including prescription medications and therapiesWrite out your bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works.”

Good ‘nuff for gubmint work, amirite?

Then there was her “Social Security” policy page, in which she included a, er, bullet point about her efforts toward gun control.

If it seems like I’m piling on, it’s because I am. Heck, we all make mistakes. It’s just that most of us don’t post them on the policy pages of our U.S. Senate campaigns.

As for Crockett’s future, this much is certain: She won’t be a member of the 119th Congress when it convenes next January.

This, I suppose, is both a good thing and a bad thing — good for the collective IQ of the House, bad for its words-to-guffaws ratio — given that she’s both a dim bulb and an easy target. But here’s hoping we haven’t heard the last of Jasmine Crockett, given the proven medicinal benefits of laughter.

Perhaps, like her campaign website blunder, she’ll keep us postedWrite out her bullet points here. Anything from a sentence to a paragraph works.
