ROLLING CONTROVERSY: Far-left Dem Jasmine Crockett faces week of backlash amid 'unhinged' comments

"It's Ted Cruz," she went on. "I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like you go clean off on him."

"We in these hot a-- Texas streets, honey. Y'all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a-- mess, honey!" she said, laughing.

"I don't imagine the Democrats are going to have a person like that running their party," the president said.

"Why would I apologize when I put out a statement? My statement was clear," Crockett said when confronted on the matter.

In her online statement, Crockett claimed: "I wasn't thinking about the governor's condition - I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable."

"Literally, the next line I said was that he was a 'Hot A-- Mess,' referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition," she wrote.

Kimberly McClain, Crockett's chief of staff, responded to a request for comment by Fox News, saying, "Please be assured that the Congresswoman, in no way, meant any harm toward the Governor OR meant to take lightly any medical conditions that he may have."

Just last week, the congresswoman reposted a post featuring Abbott in the White House, which read, "Rolling up to the White House to cheer on the president destroying the agency that makes sure kids in wheelchairs have equal access to education is wild."

"In this election, we allowed ourselves to be divided. We allowed them to distract us, and we allowed them to talk about the trans folk," Crockett said. "According to them, the trans kids, they want to play sports. That is the biggest issue that we've had. Since when? Since when? Find the little trans child that is ruining your life. I mean, I'm just like, what are we doing? Like, what are we doing?"

The scrutiny this week created renewed criticism on Crockett's past remarks about Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., being in an interracial marriage.

"The fact that you're sitting around talking about 'life was better under Jim Crow,' like, is this because you don't understand history? Or literally it's because you married a White woman and so you think that whitewashed you?" Crockett told The Breakfast Club in June, as reported by the Washington Free Beacon.
