Rep. Jasmine Crockett Mocks JD Vance With 1 'Simple' Description

The Texas lawmaker put the vice presidential candidate on blast after more resurfaced comments.
|

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) summed up Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), who is Donald Trump s running mate, with a word thats been driving the GOP ticket batty. 

The guy is a weirdo, its really quite simple, she told MSNBC s Chris Hayes .

Hayes had asked her about the latest resurfaced audio of Vance attacking people who dont have children .  

So many of the leaders of the left, and I hate to be so personal about this, but theyre people without kids trying to brainwash the minds of our children. That really disorients me, Vance said in 2021.

He also slammed Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, saying she doesnt have a single child and should have some of her own and leave ours the hell alone.

Crockett, who went to a Catholic middle school, noted that Vances comments would exclude nuns from teaching. 

She said Vances ideas come from the extremist Project 2025 right-wing policy documents, and a lot of that agenda kinda has their own definition of what Christianity looks like and what Christian families look like and what we all should be doing. 

Her dismissal of Vance as weird is part of recent messaging from the left about the GOP ticket, which has hit a nerve especially with Trump. 

She actually called me weird, he complained earlier this month after Vice President Kamala Harris used the word. And she called JD and I weird. Hes not weird, he was a great student at Yale. 

At another event, he griped : Were not weird. Were very solid people ... I think were the opposite of weird. Theyre weird.
