President Donald Trump has no grasp of his responsibilities in office and of the rights of the people, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told CNN's Jake Tapper on Monday.
This follows a wide-spanning interview in which Trump called Crockett a "low-IQ person." Shortly after that line broke, Crockett fired back on X, saying, "Imagine being busy getting another honorary doctorate & delivering the commencement address to encourage & empower the leaders of 'Today,' and right before boarding your flight to depart, learning that diabolical delusional demented dumb Don was busy trying to challenge your IQ, again."
On CNN, Crockett, who worked as a public defender before serving in elected office, took another shot, pointing out that in that very same interview, Trump couldn't answer a basic question about whether he has a responsibility as president to "uphold the Constitution."

"The fact that you just got done engaging in a conversation where we have a president of the United States who has no idea about the oath that he just took on January 20th, tells me everything that I need to know," she told Tapper.
"He didn't even have good sense enough in that same interview to say something as simple as, yes, I will follow the Constitution," Crockett continued. "You know, the thing that actually derived from the oath that he was supposed to take, and he supposedly took an oath, which there's lot of people that point out that he never put his hand on the Bible, even though he acts as if he could somehow be the Pope. But nevertheless, that oath specifically says that you will defend the Constitution. So the idea that you are now taking the Constitution, and as I said at the DNC, putting it through a paper shredder, is a problem."
"I think that this should not be partisan, this should be right versus wrong," she added. "A lot of the things that this administration is doing, they don't have anything to do with partisanship. This is right versus wrong. And right now, they are consistently wrong."
