Jasmine Crockett will say something stupidly hilarious during it.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s not so much that the 43-year-old Texas representative says dumb things, mind you. Toss a dart blindfolded from the visitor&rsquo;s gallery onto the floor in the House chambers and, before they drag you away to face charges of reckless endangerment (or whatever), notice who it landed near. Chances are better than not, particularly if it&rsquo;s on the Democratic side, they&rsquo;ve said something stupid recently.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it&rsquo;s what Crockett&rsquo;s vocal incontinence says about what Democrats really think when they can&rsquo;t or won&rsquo;t hold it in. In a Vanity Fair interview in December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/mask-off-dem-rep-says-hispanic-trump-voters-slave-mentality\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for example<\/a>, she slammed her &ldquo;old as s***&rdquo; Democratic colleagues, said that the 2024 election proved that Hispanic voters have a &ldquo;slave mentality,&rdquo; and claimed white women couldn&rsquo;t be trusted, all because they didn&rsquo;t vote Democratic in high enough numbers for Kamala Harris to win.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett then ran to be the chair of policy and communications for House Democrats but lost soundly. Good thing, too, because this is the nuanced rebuttal she had for the job Department of Government Efficiency chair Elon Musk was doing: &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rep-crockett-wanted-charge-communications-house-dems-two-word-message-musk-f-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">F*** off<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>I confess that I wasn&rsquo;t much watching Crockett&rsquo;s activities last week. I should have, because all the days ended with the 25th letter of the alphabet, and she was still out and about in all manner of places &mdash; including on MSNBC&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Katie Phang Show,&rdquo; where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/act-resurfaced-video-jasmine-crockett-reveals-shocking-changes-made-accent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Crockett<\/a>, who has a&nbsp;<em>juris doctor<\/em> from the University of Houston, proudly declared that illegal immigration isn&rsquo;t&nbsp;<em>really<\/em> illegal.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They continue to say things like &lsquo;the illegals&rsquo; and that they broke the law coming in,&rdquo; she said, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/news\/jasmine-crockett-solves-our-illegal-immigration-crisis-by-declaration-its-not-a-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Review<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But what they&rsquo;re not telling the American people is that it is a civil violation.

[Emphasis mine.]\n<p>Any federal misdemeanor that can get you jailed for six months on first offense and two years on second offense, or get you fined, or both, is not just some minor &ldquo;civil&rdquo; crime. It&rsquo;s just that this is how the Democrats have <em>treated<\/em> it &mdash; and how Crockett expects the country to go on treating it.<\/p>\n<p>But then, the Trump administration hasn&rsquo;t played along with that, which is why illegal border crossings are reaching <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/03\/04\/illegal-border-crossings-february-decline-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">record lows<\/a> after the record highs of the Biden administration.
