U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is widely seen as a top contender to challenge Republican Senator John Cornyn in a high-stakes race that could determine control of the U.S. Senate. Early polling shows her leading the Democratic field.
Fox News hosts in recent weeks have targeted the outspoken Texas Democrat, an attorney, and in one particularly caustic segment on Thursday, they denigrated her intelligence and capabilities.
“Her incompetence is beastly,” declared Fox News co-host Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery. “I mean, she certainly is a mental deficient.”

“If you listen to any of her statements, and she is callous. She’s also, you know, she’s a dumb-dumb, and you can’t take her seriously,” Kennedy continued. “She doesn’t have solid policy positions, and, uh, you know, she is a recalcitrant piece of garbage.”
Kennedy concluded that “all she cares about is making her profile more massive, and she’s massively incompetent.”
According to Newsweek, “Crockett has not yet declared a run for Senate but has been viewed by many as a rising star in the Democratic Party on the national stage. Her rise has also drawn significant criticism and backlash from Republicans.”
In response to Crockett denouncing President Donald Trump’s “racist and wrong” remarks about the President of Liberia, White House spokesperson Harrison Fields on Thursday attacked the Texas Democratic Congresswoman.

“Jasmine Crockett has the brain capacity of a jellyfish and is the last person on Earth to critique anyone’s mental acuity, let alone intelligence,” Fields said, as The Hill reported. “The Democrats’ rising star has done more to cement the party’s demise than the President she breathlessly supported, the decrepit and feeble Joe Biden.”
In a poll commissioned by the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), Crockett “led with 35 percent support among surveyed Democratic voters, ahead of [Colin] Allred at 20 percent, with [Beto] O’Rourke and Texas Representative Joaquin Castro both at 13 percent,” Newsweek noted.
