Rep. Jasmine Crockett Defends ‘Fascist’ Rhetoric on CNN Following Charlie Kirk Assassination
This week, Representative Jasmine Crockett went on CNN to talk about the criticism Democrats are getting. People are asking if calling Republicans “fascists” and “Hitler” might lead to violence. Her answer? “They’re absolutely wrong.” She said this right after conservative activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Here’s where it gets really bad. CNN host Kasie Hunt just sat there. She let Crockett talk for almost two whole minutes without asking a single tough question. Critics said Hunt let her “spew bile” on national TV.
And what did Crockett say during those two minutes? Get this—she actually blamed Republicans for “gun culture.” She said, “The average person on the left probably couldn’t make a shot from 200 yards.” Why? Because according to her, liberals “haven’t been playing with assault rifles since they were a little kid. It seems like violence is okay if it is only because the man that is currently serving in the White House asked for it…But then, when it ends up happening and it comes back on the other side, they claim that it’s because of the Democrats and them using words like fascist.”
Let that sink in. A conservative was just killed. The police found bullet casings with anti-fascist messages on them. And Crockett’s response? She goes on TV to defend calling people fascists. She says it’s just “warning against authoritarianism.” Really?
This isn’t a one-time thing with Crockett. Just days after Kirk died, she went on a radio show. She defended calling President Trump “wannabe Hitler.” I’m not making this up. She’s also called him “Temu Hitler” and said he’s an “enemy to the United States.”
Think about this for a second. We’re not talking about mean tweets here. We’re talking about real violence. Those anti-fascist messages on the bullet casings? They show what happens when you call half the country enemies of democracy. Some crazy person might actually believe you. And then what? We all saw what happened to Charlie Kirk. But instead of learning from this tragedy, some Democrats are doubling down. They’re defending the exact words that might have caused it
