Jasmine Crockett is quite embarrassing: despite holding similar far-left views and a penchant for attention-seeking like her peers, she has never been part of the so-called &#8220;squad.&#8221; While it might be her decision, I find that hard to believe. Joining this group would link her with prominent progressive figures such as Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, who aren&#8217;t particularly selective about their members\u2014just being young and very liberal seems sufficient. Members can be corrupt (like Omar), anti-Semitic (like former Rep. Jamaal Bowman), or both (like former Rep. Cori Bush). Therefore, there must be a reason for Crockett&#8217;s exclusion; she claims it&#8217;s because the label is toxic in Texas campaigning. However, this doesn&#8217;t seem plausible since she represents a strongly Democratic district that would likely elect&#8230; well, her again. This reasoning falls flat especially since being part of the squad could elevate her profile; after all, she&#8217;s taken over from Sen. Chuck Schumer as the Congress member most eager to get in front of a camera at any cost. Instead, I suggest an alternative explanation: perhaps she&#8217;s simply too uninformed for one of the least intelligent unofficial caucuses in recent congressional history.<\/p>\n<p>For instance: when January&#8217;s job growth data was released on Friday, it wasn&#8217;t impressive\u2014nonfarm payrolls rose by 143,000 while unemployment dipped to 4%. Economists had predicted an average increase of 170,000 jobs with some estimates reaching up to 250,000 jobs added; these numbers were also lower than those from November and December which saw increases over 200,000 and 300,000 respectively\u2014the weakest start to any year since 2016.<\/p>\n<p>In typical fashion for someone like herself\u2014a Republican might say\u2014Rep. Crockett seized upon this data blaming President Donald Trump&#8217;s anti-DEI policies for the disappointing results stating on X: \u201cSo it turns out when you DON\u2019T go woke you go broke.\u201d She further claimed Trump\u2019s new DEI was leading to \u201cDying Economy and Inflation,\u201d adding that he was \u201cMaking America Broke Again!\u201d Thankfully for us all there are community notes reminding users that regardless of how emphatically she states it with bold text\u2014that Trump wasn\u2019t president during most of January nor during any period referenced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics when compiling these figures.<\/p>\n<p>Oops! Or should I say: Oops! Remember that Crockett is a sitting member of Congress relying on these statistics for decision-making purposes; not only should she have encountered this information during research but it&#8217;s readily available on the Bureau\u2019s website which she cited.<\/p>\n<p>According to BLS: &#8220;The survey reference period is based on pay periods including the 12th day of each month,&#8221; meaning Joe Biden&#8217;s policies were responsible here\u2014not Trump\u2019s supposed failures just two weeks into his term after Democrats previously praised economic conditions under Biden even though they were similar then too.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of foolishness typically belongs to habitual self-owners like California Democrat Rep Eric Swalwell or social media engagement-seekers like Harry Sisson or @JoJoFromJerz\u2014but now we see it from Crockett who attempted making such arguments without verifying who held office when those statistics were calculated showing just how misinformed she truly is compared even against @JoJoFromJerz!<\/p>\n<p>Let that sink in folks! It seems clear why she&#8217;s not partaking in &#8220;the squad&#8221; has little do with Texas politics but rather stems from sheer incompetence at being an elected official unable even check basic facts before launching into rants about economic data collected under different leadership altogether!
