Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, drew backlash Wednesday after calling the president a “mofo” in a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. The offensive term is a vulgar abbreviation for “motherf—er.”
The Texas Democrat’s comment followed a string of attacks on Trump and his supporters, many of which focused on race and gender. Crockett referenced the 2024 presidential election, writing, “This election was the best example of why (Diversity Equity & Inclusion) matter.” She appeared to defend former Vice President Kamala Harris, implying that voters dismissed Harris “due to her race & or sex” while excusing Trump’s alleged lack of qualifications.
Crockett went on to say Trump “literally said he had ‘concepts’ of a plan & flat out lied about project 2025,” and concluded that the president “was & still is UNQUALIFIED & UNFIT to lead OUR Country.”
White House spokesperson Harrison Fields responded to the remarks, calling them unprofessional and unbefitting of a member of Congress. “Crockett and her followers in the Democratic Party are simply all hammer and no nail,” Fields said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. “Her constituents should DOGE her in the next election.”
Crockett, who currently serves as vice ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, has sparked multiple controversies in recent weeks with inflammatory comments. In a prior post, she declared “Hate won the election!” and suggested that illegal immigration was necessary because “we done picking cotton.”
President Trump referenced Crockett by name during a speech Tuesday evening at the National Republican Congressional Committee event, saying that if she is the Democratic Party’s “new star,” the party is in “serious trouble.”
Crockett’s series of unfiltered comments have been met with growing criticism, with conservatives arguing that her remarks highlight a larger problem of radical rhetoric within the Democratic Party. Public reaction continues to mount as voters evaluate the tone and leadership displayed by elected officials in Congress.
