Jasmine Crockett fires back at JD Vance's 'street girl' criticism of her at TPUSA conference

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, accused Vice President JD Vance of using a racist trope against her during an interview on MS NOW.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, fired back at Vice President JD Vance on Sunday during an interview after he mocked her Senate run and persona at a conference, arguing that she is authentic and his comments were racist.

"I’m sorry, but anybody that you talk to knows my credentials. They know that I’ve gone to school. They know that I’m educated. I never tried to put on some random story about where I came from, but at the end of the day, I am who I am, and I am authentic. And that is actually what they are fearful of, is my authenticity. Because it rings true with every single American, whether they’re Texan or not," Crockett said.

During Turning Point USA's AmericaFest 2025 on Sunday, Vance swiped at Crockett, who recently announced her longshot Senate run in Texas, saying "her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!"

Crockett said Republicans "should be scared" during the interview on MS NOW.

"I don’t have time for him and their games. They are scared, and they should be scared. I need Texans to focus in. I need them to think about the fact that our two senators literally just voted against extending the Affordable Care Act tax subsidies," she said, referring to Republican Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn.

She slammed the Trump-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which she called the "ugly" bill, but said she was staying focused on her race.

"I’m not going to be distracted. And when they can tell me about their policies that are helping Texans, then we can have a conversation. Until then, take whatever shots you want to take at me. Because I have been a Black woman my entire life. I promise you, there are other people just like JD Vance, who have tried to do the same racist tropes my entire life, and somehow I ascended and became a U.S. congresswoman. It will not be different when I become a U.S. senator, and we can have a conversation when I get to the Senate floor if he wants to talk," Crockett said.

MS NOW host Catherine Rampell asked Crockett to elaborate on her policy positions, as she pointed out the lawmaker's campaign launch was mostly focused on her back-and-forth with President Donald Trump.
