Representative Jasmine Crockett absolutely demolished Vice President Vance after he took a bizarre and personal dig at her “street girl persona” and her appearance, as per The Hill. Vance launched the insult during a speech at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, prompting a brutal clapback from the Texas Democrat that instantly shifted the conversation to the most sensitive topic in Republican politics.
Vance specifically targeted Crockett while rattling off a list of Democratic candidates he seemed to deem unimpressive. After receiving boos from the audience simply by mentioning her name, the vice president doubled down on the personal attack.
“And Jasmine Crockett. Oh, Jasmine Crockett,” Vance said. “The record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street girl persona is about as real as her nails.” Honestly, Vance walked right into this one, giving Crockett the perfect opening for a political counterpunch. She didn’t wait long, posting a response on X that immediately referenced President Trump’s high-pressure campaign against his first-term vice president, Mike Pence, following the 2020 election.
Crockett reminded everyone that Vance secured his current position because his boss incited a violent mob to target his predecessor
She directly questioned Vance’s priorities, focusing on the dark events of January 6, 2021, “Imagine commenting on someone’s nails while at the same time ignoring that the only reason you got your political ‘dream’ job was because your boss incited a violent mob who wanted to hang your predecessor for, oh I don’t know, honoring his oath to the Constitution?!” She was referring to the mob of President Trump supporters who famously erected a gallows and chanted “Hang Mike Pence” outside the Capitol.
Crockett, who recently launched her own Senate bid in Texas, didn’t stop there. She urged Vance to focus on real issues instead of her nails. She challenged him to save the political mudslinging for the Senate floor, demanding that he work to stop his boss from “bankrupting our country while engaging in the largest corruption scheme we’ve ever seen?!”
Vance’s comments came as he closed out the final day of the AmericaFest convention, which saw a surprise appearance from the likes of Nicki Minaj. His overall message was urging conservatives to unite against the left rather than getting distracted by internal party feuds, even calling out Nick Fuentes for his wild statement against his wife, Usha Vance.
Crockett’s entry into the Texas Senate race has actually been welcomed by the Republicans locked in their own fierce primary battle, which is an interesting wrinkle in the story. She is currently leading the Democratic primary field, according to a poll released last week, holding an 8 percentage point lead over state Representative James Talarico.
The Texas representative has also made it clear that she is willing to cross party lines to gain support, announcing last week that voters in the red state who regret voting for President Trump are welcome to join her campaign. It seems like her no-holds-barred attitude isn’t just for viral clapbacks; it’s a key part of her campaign strategy.
