Jasmine Crockett Would 'Absolutely' Match IQ Points With Trump
Rep. Jasmine Crockett Says She Would ‘Absolutely’ Put Her IQ Score Up Against Trump’s
At this point, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) must be well-accustomed to drawing the ire of white Republicans who like their successful, intelligent and outspoken Black women the way they like their food spices: nonexistent.
They have called her ghetto just for defending herself against the white women who have truly ghettoized Congress. They have called her “hood” and “gangsta” just for being a Black woman who speaks like a Black woman. And, of course, they have come for her intelligence, because that is simply what they do when it comes to prominent Black women and women of color who exist in spaces that were once white male exclusive.
On Tuesday, Crockett made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! where she and host Jimmy Kimmel discussed a recent remark President Donald Trump made about the sophomore congresswoman, calling her a “low-life” and “low-IQ,” which is pretty much Trump’s go-to insult, especially for democratic Black women, which, of course, is rich coming from the commander-in-cancer-causing-windmills-and-Lysol-injections.
During the interview, Kimmel asked Crockett if she would be willing to take a public IQ test and compare the results to Trump’s, and because Trump’s anti-intellectualism is his defining characteristic along with bigotry, misogyny and poor tanning consistency, her response was an enthusiastic, “Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.”
Look, as sharp as Crockett is, it’s not even much of an intellectual flex to say that she could match IQ points with Trump and come out ahead every time. If Waldo Geraldo Faldo from Family Matters said he would win against Trump in an IQ contest, I’d say, “Sure, why not?” I would bet on the IQ of a wilted head of lettuce before I put my money on the guy who thinks the word “groceries” is a rarely-used “old-fashioned term” with a definition that is limited to “a bag with different things in it.”
Crockett didn’t stop at coming for Trump’s bigly yuge brain. She also called Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) the “dumbest” member of Congress, which is probably true. (Although Lauren Boebert is right there.) Crockett also noted that Elon Musk, who is already on his way out as Trump’s leading “government efficiency” expert, is an “idiot.”
“When I tell you that the level of incompetence is almost incomprehensible,” she said. “When you bring up the idiot known as Elon Musk, he has inflicted so much harm and done so much that even Trump don’t wanna talk about it.”
Honestly, Crockett could have kept going. Trump’s cabinet includes a Health and Human Services secretary who thinks people with autism can’t hold jobs or write poems and that Lyme disease is a “highly likely militarily engineered bioweapon,” and a Secretary of Defense who couldn’t be trusted not to include military war plans on the grocery list he sends his wife to the store with.
The White House is currently a clown car with the collective intelligence of a dry mop, and its leader would probably lose in an IQ contest to that mop. So, yeah, smart money would be on Crockett if Kimmel’s challenge ever came to fruition.
We could also talk about how smart America is in general to have elected pure, unadulterated idiocracy into the Oval Office, not once, but twice, but that’s another post for another day.
