PASS THE POPCORN: Jasmine Crockett is Now Accusing the Left of Racism (VIDEO)

Did you ever expect to see the moment when Rep. Jasmine Crockett would accuse fellow liberals of racial bias? That’s the situation now unfolding in the Texas Democratic Senate primary, where she faces state Rep. James Talarico.

The controversy centers partly on Talarico’s appearance with late-night host Stephen Colbert, which Crockett supporters view as an effort to sideline her campaign. Notably, Crockett herself has not been invited onto Colbert’s show.

According to reporting from The Daily Caller, Crockett suggested during a Thursday campaign event that criticism from within her own party was driven by race. Polling averages from RealClearPolling at the time showed Crockett and Talarico essentially tied in the Democratic primary contest.

Speaking in Richardson, Texas, Crockett emphasized her qualifications and said she found it unusual to face attacks from the left. She also alleged that some campaign ads had altered her appearance, claiming her skin tone had been darkened—something she interpreted through the lens of her experience as a civil rights lawyer.

Jasmine Crockett just blew up the Talarico/Colbert narrative:

Crockett told attendees she believed these attacks were linked to her identity as a Black woman, saying she had been asked repeatedly about the issue and viewed the situation as indicative of bias.

Some observers argue that party strategists see Talarico as the stronger general-election candidate, and that internal maneuvering reflects that belief. Critics counter that preferring a white candidate over a Black candidate raises uncomfortable questions about racial dynamics within the party’s own ranks.
