Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s greatest political achievement may soon be mistaking emotional outbursts for actual legislation. This loud-and-stupid progressive from Texas, who recently argued that illegal border crossings aren’t really crimes, has gone full steam ahead in her campaign to become the next far-left media darling. With each MSNBC appearance, she pushes the boundaries of what’s considered delusional even by her own party’s standards.
If you haven’t heard of her, lucky you. Crockett’s short career has been a progressive highlight reel—defending illegal immigrants, opposing border enforcement, and now, elevating MS-13 gang members to political martyrs. Her latest stunt? Declaring that current U.S. President Donald J. Trump is “more criminal” than an alleged MS-13 member. Yes, really. It’s a hot take so outrageous it makes AOC sound like a founding father. Let’s unravel it together.
Meet the New Queen of Crazy
Over the weekend, Rep. Crockett appeared on MSNBC’s The Katie Phang Show, where liberal guests are one praise segment away from a group hug. The question at hand? The recent (and lawful) deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an individual with suspected gang ties, MS-13 tattoos, and a history of domestic violence complaints lodged by his own wife. Garcia was removed by President Trump’s administration under the Alien Enemies Act.
But Crockett wasn’t having it. With cameras rolling and her media moment in reach, she dropped this head-scratcher:
From The Post Millennial:
“Here’s the reality. As far as I’m concerned, [Abrego Garcia] is a lot less criminal than the person that’s sitting in the White House, because last time I checked, he [Trump] doesn’t have any criminal convictions.”
Let’s pause here for a second.
Crockett’s argument rests on the belief that since Trump hasn’t been convicted in a court of law, and Abrego Garcia also hasn’t been convicted in a U.S. court, the actual crimes—and evidence linking Garcia to gang activity—should be ignored. This, from a U.S. Congresswoman. Even worse, she doubles down, suggesting the convicted spouse-abuser associated with MS-13 poses less threat than the duly elected President of the United States.
Welcome to Margaritaville—Gang Member Edition
This descent into absurdity didn’t stop with Crockett. Senator Chris Van Hollen decided to physically travel to El Salvador to advocate for Garcia’s return. During the trip, he met with Abrego Garcia at a restaurant—yes, a margarita was involved—and was later ambushed on social media with the kind of optics you only see in TikTok parodies. President Bukele of El Salvador clapped back on X, posting the image with burning sarcasm: “Kilmar Abrego Garcia, miraculously risen from the ‘death camps’ & ‘torture,’ now sipping margaritas with Sen. Van Hollen in the tropical paradise of El Salvador!”
Think about that: A U.S. Senator lobbying for the return of a criminal alien while sipping cocktails with him offshore. It’s not parody—it’s modern Democrat diplomacy.
When Criminals Become Political Props
Let’s return to reality for a moment. Kilmar Abrego Garcia may not have a U.S. felony conviction, but he has considerable baggage: long-standing tattoos indicating MS-13 allegiance, past associations with human trafficking, and at least one documented domestic abuse complaint from his spouse. That’s not some harmless border-crosser looking for a better life—that’s a red-flag factory.
Under President Trump, the Alien Enemies Act was legally used to expedite deportation of those connected to criminal cartels. Democrats, courts, and media tried (and are still trying) to undermine those rules. But the fact remains: Garcia was lawfully deported—and now, Democratic lawmakers want to bring him back. For what? To make a statement? To make Trump look bad?
This is ideology over sanity. The lives endangered by gangs like MS-13 don’t seem to matter to Crockett or Van Hollen, as long as MSNBC is casting the villain in orange.
Cry Me a Border Wall
If the MSNBC segment wasn’t absurd enough, Crockett damn near cried. Not for the families of MS-13 victims. Not for law-abiding immigrants stuck in processing limbo. No, she’d save her emotion for defending Kilmar Abrego Garcia. She wept while being thanked by the host for supporting democracy. Democracy, apparently, now includes demanding sanctuary for violent criminals who violate our sovereignty.
Online, reactions were swift and brutal. One user called the segment “a clown show.” Another said Crockett is “a complete lunatic.” And Texans, who once saw their representatives as steely-eyed defenders of law and order, are now contemplating who can unseat her in 2026.
Ironically, Democrats continue to accuse Trump of lawlessness—while defending actual lawbreakers. At this point, they don’t even pretend to care about crime, border security, or the rule of law. They just want the Donald gone. And if that means cuddling up to MS-13, so be it.
Donald Trump, Defender of Borders
The contrast couldn’t be clearer. Trump’s presidency—then and now—has focused on protecting Americans by enforcing immigration laws and restoring national sovereignty. Democrats scoffed when he labeled MS-13 “animals.” Yet here they are, warmly defending one.
The worst part? There’s no apology. No shame. Just more press tours, more tears, and more lunacy.
But Americans are watching. And they remember who built the wall, who cleaned up crime, who respected law enforcement—and who didn’t.
Key Takeaways:
- A Democrat lawmaker claimed an MS-13 gang member is less criminal than President Trump.
- President Trump’s deportation policy legally prioritized protecting Americans from violent gangs.
- Democrats now openly defend criminals to score political points against Trump.
- The left prioritizes emotion over law and order—endangering public safety for progressive narratives.
