Jasmine Crockett’s reign of terrifying idiocy is over – for now, at least.
Crockett suffered an embarrassing defeat to former middle school teacher James Talarico in the Texas Senate Democratic primary Tuesday. She even tried to chalk up her loss to a dark cabal of Republicans who “rigged” the race. Delusional, to say the least.
Of course, we are all feeling a delicious wave of schadenfreude. Crockett deserved to lose. And, even if I were a staunch Democrat, I would have to admit the truth: she has no business representing Texas in the U.S. Senate. She had no business serving in the House. She is a deeply unserious person. She is a clown.
But there is also a much more revealing story hidden behind the obvious – that Crockett lost solely because she is an unbelievably vacuous airhead. No, her loss represents way more than that. It’s a political explosion. It will send shockwaves so far into the future that it will even shape the landscape of the Democrats’ 2028 presidential primary.
