What specific comments did Jasmine Crockett make about racism and when were they made (include dates)?
Executive summary
Rep. Jasmine Crockett publicly called Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene “absolutely” racist on May 17, 2024, after Greene made comments about Crockett’s physical appearance [1]. She also called President Trump “racist and wrong” on July 10, 2025, after he complimented Liberian President Joseph Boakai’s English, and criticized his comments as “blatantly offensive” in reporting that same day [2]. Available sources do not mention every alleged quote attributed to Crockett in online rumor lists (not found in current reporting).
1. The May 17, 2024 exchange: Crockett labels Greene “absolutely” racist
During a House Oversight Committee meeting that drew national attention, Rep. Jasmine Crockett responded to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s remarks about Crockett’s physical appearance by saying Greene was “absolutely” racist, adding “She is racist. I mean, I don’t have any questions about that,” and predicting Greene would “probably will raise money, because the racists are going to be so happy to give it to her” [1]. Coverage frames Crockett’s statement as a direct response to Greene’s criticism about Crockett’s eyelashes and appearance, and Crockett tied the attack to broader patterns of how Black women’s looks are policed [3].
2. The July 10, 2025 rebuke of Trump: “racist and wrong”
On July 10, 2025, Crockett publicly criticized President Donald Trump for complimenting Liberian President Joseph Boakai on his English, calling Trump “racist and wrong,” because English is the official language of Liberia and the compliment implied surprise at the Liberian president’s command of English [2]. The Hill reported Crockett’s phrasing and noted that a White House spokesperson dismissed her criticism with personal attacks; that response illustrates the partisan pushback her comments received [2].
3. Context: why Crockett frames remarks as racism
Crockett’s comments about Greene and Trump are framed in available reporting as reactions to perceived racialized treatment: in the Greene episode, Crockett connected the attack on her appearance to longstanding cultural critiques of Black women’s looks [3]; in the Trump episode, she objected to a comment that suggested surprise at a nonwhite leader’s fluency in English [2]. These contexts show Crockett using the term “racist” to call out what she sees as either personal attacks rooted in race or comments reflecting racial bias [1] [3] [2].
4. Additional claims circulating online — limited corroboration
Some online pieces and partisan outlets have presented other alleged Crockett quotes — including broader accusations or incendiary language tied to Project 2025 or “white tears” on social media — but the specific source provided that makes those broader claims is an opinion/advocacy-style break down dated February 4, 2025 and not hard reporting; it summarizes and interprets Crockett’s past positions while disputing labels that she is “racist” [4]. That item attributes a January 2025 Instagram Live where she reportedly called a federal spending freeze part of a “white supremacy agenda,” and a February 2025 CNN remark calling Trump a “white supremacist” and dismissing outrage as “white tears,” but these assertions come from a site arguing in Crockett’s defense rather than primary transcripts in the current collection of reporting [4]. Available mainstream reporting in the provided results does not independently quote those January/February 2025 lines (not found in current reporting).
5. Partisan reactions and disputes over wording
When Crockett calls out others as racist, responses have been sharply partisan: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott publicly accused her of being racist in August 2025 after she objected to a redistricting plan, a rhetorical counterpunch rather than a direct quotation from Crockett [5]. Conservative outlets in November 2025 have highlighted other Crockett remarks and criticized her accuracy on unrelated topics [6] [7], showing that accusations and rebuttals around her statements are politically charged and often used by opponents to frame her credibility [6] [7].
6. What the available sources do not show
The provided collection does not include full transcripts, videos, or every interview where Crockett may have used the words “racist,” “white supremacist,” or similar phrases beyond the cited May 17, 2024 and July 10, 2025 items; detailed context for alleged January–February 2025 quotes appears only in an advocacy-style piece and lacks corroborating primary-source reporting in this set (not found in current reporting; p1_s2). If you want verbatim transcripts or clips for other specific dates or remarks, those primary-source records were not in the documents provided here.
If you’d like, I can try to locate primary video transcripts or additional mainstream reporting for the January–February 2025 claims and any other specific dates — tell me which alleged quote you want verified and I’ll search the available reporting.
