Fact check: What were Jasmine Crockett's exact words about violence against Republicans and conservatives?

1. Summary of the results

The analyses provided present a complex and often conflicting picture of Rep. Jasmine Crockett's statements regarding violence against Republicans and conservatives. According to ^[1], Rep. Crockett argued that it is Republicans like Trump who promoted a culture of political violence, and defended her right to refer to President Trump as 'wannabe Hitler' as an acceptable part of political discourse ^[1]. In contrast, ^[2] reports that Rep. Crockett is being slammed online for using violent rhetoric implying that Sen. Ted Cruz 'has to be knocked over the head, like hard' ^[2]. Additionally, ^[3] suggests that Crockett believes Republicans are inherently violent and attract violent individuals, citing her statement that 'Y’all got the white supremacists galore… the Proud Boys, the neo-Nazis… even the KKK. So like inherently in who you are, y’all are violent' ^[3]. However, ^[4] reports that Rep. Crockett stated 'I've literally never said anything to invoke violence' and 'Me disagreeing with you, me calling you, wannabe Hitler, all of those things are not necessarily saying, go out and hurt somebody', indicating she does not believe her words promote violence against Republicans and conservatives ^[4].
