Jasmine Crockett Claps Back At Critics Of Her Senate Candidacy: 'Gonna Get This Thing Done'

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett clapped back at critics of her candidacy to the U.S. Senate in Texas.

"I just want to be clear for all the haters in the back. Listen up real loud. We gonna get this thing done," Crockett said during her kickoff speech on Monday.

One of them seems to be Sen. John Fetterman, who told CNN's Manu Raju that Crockett's profile is the kind that the GOP "wants to run."

In fact, the GOP's official X account reacted to Crockett's candidacy, publishing a video to its more than 3.4 million followers with different clips of her the party deems unfavorable.

"I want to people to understand that there are crimes that are committed not because people are criminals but because they are literally trying to survive," one of them says.

"That we know how to use a chair. whether we're pulling it up or we're doing something else with it," she says in another.

Axios noted in a report that Crockett's candidacy illustrates the infighting in the party, where liberals are conducting a rebellion that has drawn comparisons to how the Tea Party reshaped the Republican party earlier in the century.

"We're seeing a moment where the voters are very, very angry about a decade of being denied choices, and are demanding choices," Tommy McDonald, a progressive strategist, told the outlet.
