A pink slip primary found a Texas lawmaker retreading \u201cracism\u201d with a warning about who holds more sway over black voters.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026 there is a reckoning that this party needs to have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Like collecting properties in Monopoly, the Democrats have longed to turn Texas blue as a means to dominate the electoral vote board. After her own Senate campaign flopped as arguably antithetical to that end, a seemingly jilted Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) spoke to her intention to drive enthusiasm for black candidates of her choosing while calling out her own party.<\/p>\n

Appearing on \u201cFront Page\u201d with Mimi Brown, the ousted lawmaker was presented with a clip of her former opponent, Senate nominee and Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D), on \u201cThe Breakfast Club\u201d where he reiterated it isn\u2019t his view that Crockett isn\u2019t electable in a statewide election.<\/p>\n

In response, the congresswoman presented and then batted down a suggestion that she has an \u201cunderground railroad\u201d telling black voters what to do, and stated, \u201cI, frankly, stopped doing as many TV interviews because I, I don\u2019t wanna talk about the race, to be perfectly honest. And the reasons that I don\u2019t is because right now people just need to focus on whatever it\u2019s gonna take to win. But there is a reckoning that this party needs to have. There isn\u2019t, you know \u2014 the racism was very clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine Crockett says her party needs to have a \u201creckoning\u201d after her primary loss to Talarico.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe racism was very clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further asserted that \u201cmisinformation,\u201d \u201cdisinformation\u201d and \u201conline bullying bullsh*t\u201d were in part responsible for her loss by more than 140,000 votes<\/a> \u2014 over 6% \u2014 moments before peddling her own influence over black voters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my mind, the best way that I can help the people of Texas is if I go in and I help out on these down-ballot races,\u201d Crockett told Brown as she pointed to the Talarico at the top of the ticket as a detriment for black candidates in elections throughout the Lone Star State. \u201cI personally don\u2019t feel like the excitement necessarily exists within the black community, right? Right now, like that\u2019s \u2014 I don\u2019t feel like they\u2019re excited, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I do have some amazing black candidates that are running for office in some of the largest counties. So, if I can introduce black fold to them, that may excite them and get them to the polls,\u201d she suggested.<\/p>\n

To recap, the politician known for ranting about alleged \u201cwhite supremacy<\/a>\u201d contends \u201cracism\u201d lost her the primary and now appears to intend to stump exclusively for black candidates to an audience of black voters while calling for a \u201creckoning\u201d for the Democratic Party.<\/p>\n

Rather than the positive Crockett seemed to think she was offering for her cause, reactions argued the ousted lawmaker would ultimately be the one to prove a detriment for Democrats in Texas while also suggesting an ulterior motive was at play.<\/p>\n

\n

My guess is that she will make enough noise to extract a pledge for the party to support her in some other race, land her a media gig, or, God forbid, a role in a Democrat administration.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s using this to advance her ambitions, that much is clear.<\/p>\n

She should never be in politics again. She\u2019s going to cost him the election<\/p>\n

Well I personally feel like Jasmine needs out of politics because her ego is more important than her country. This Texas dem will never support her in a primary now. Never.<\/p>\n

Crockett doesn\u2019t have as much power as she think she does. She thinks that she has Obama level influence over black people.<\/p>\n

One of the most narcissistic, selfish and deranged politicians in America right now is Jasmine Crockett of Texas. Such a delusional, self-obsessed moron should never be elected by anyone, anywhere.<\/p>\n

Yes, the racism is clear, and it came from you. You tried every black identity racism card and it didn\u2019t work. Clearly.<\/p>\n
