Dem Rep Claims Hispanic Voters Have ‘Slave Mentality,’ Can Barely Vote

By /

A Texas congresswoman’s racist claim about Hispanic and Black voters have raised eyebrows, yet her own party and many in the media have stayed quiet.

Key Facts:

– Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, described some Hispanic voters as having a “slave mentality” who “can barely vote.”
– Few Democratic leaders or major outlets criticized these remarks.
– Crockett also suggested Black men who voted for Trump did so out of “misogyny.”
– Vanity Fair published the interview but focused on praising Crockett for “schooling” colleagues.

The Rest of The Story:

Crockett’s comments paint Hispanic voters as opposing immigration despite their own status, implying they are out of touch with their reality.

She likened this to a “slave mentality,” suggesting self-loathing or internalized bias.

“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have.

It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them.

I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.”

Surprisingly, the backlash within her own party has been minimal, especially when compared to similar statements made by conservatives in the past.

Critics say this is evidence of selective outrage in identity politics.

If a conservative had made similar claims prominent Democrats and their media allies would be outraged and demand an apology.

While some expected prominent Democrats to condemn Crockett’s rhetoric, most remained silent.

Instead, the party leadership appears to be pressing forward with the same identity-based messaging that failed for all but the most radical leftists.

Commentary:

Crockett’s stance on both Hispanic and Black voters suggests Democrats are blaming voters rather than reconsidering their platform.

Instead of adapting, they appear to double down on blaming “internalized bias” or misogyny.

If Democrats continue to cater to a vocal fringe instead of addressing broader voter concerns, they will likely face further losses.

Even more voters who feel judged or dismissed may turn away from the Democrats.

Rather than lessons learned from the last election, the party seems to be repeating old patterns that could cost them again at the polls.

The Bottom Line:

Rep. Crockett’s controversial statements expose a deep divide in Democratic party politics.

Unless Democrats rethink their messaging, this will further undermine their support among Hispanics and Black Americans.
