Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) fired back at Vice President JD Vance's insult lobbed from the stage of a high-profile conservativhttps://www.rawstory.com/crockett-budget-bill/e conference.
The vice president slammed the Texas Democrat, who's mounting a U.S. Senate challenge for the seat held by Sen. Joh Cornyn (R-TX), from his wide-ranging and racially charged speech at Turning Point USA’s annual America Fest conference in Phoenix.
“Jasmine Crockett!” Vance exclaimed. “Oh, Jasmine Crockett, the record speaks for itself. She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!”
Vance’s remarks were met with thunderous applause at the event aimed at young conservatives, but Crockett provided a substantially less positive reaction on social media.
"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?!" Crockett posted on her X account. "How about you stop worrying about me, until we are on the Senate floor together & work to stop your boss from bankrupting our country while engaging in the largest corruption scheme we’ve ever seen?!"
