The Morning Briefing: Jasmine Crockett Is Lucky We Don't Do Witch Trials Anymore

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is at a Slap Chop revival confab somewhere outside of Sioux Falls.

Thursday was a day full of tech hiccups, among them a lengthy nationwide internet outage for a few providers, including mine. There was another one Thursday night. I don't want to be too paranoid, but there is an article by Dmitri Bolt over at Townhall that says Iran may soon start attacking out cyber grid.

Freakin' mullahs.

One of the big reasons that I never get panicky about anything that the Republican Party does or does not do these days is that the competition from the Democrats is...not emotionally or mentally well. I've been writing for months that I kind of miss the days when the Dems were better at this. Yeah, they've always been a little off, but every one of them is swimming in the deep end of the crazy pool these days.

Crazy can still win elections, but I like our odds better while they're all flying spittle and drama queen tears (looking at you, Alex Padilla) over there.

It's going to be that way for a while too. The Democrats — and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media — celebrate lunatic behavior. "Unhinged" is actually a résumé builder for Democratic politicians rising up through the party. Just look at the career path of America's Dumbest Bartender —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. We all knew who she was about four days after she first got into office because the political press hacks were drawn like moths to a flame to every idiotic and unstable thing that she said.

It looked like Squeaky was going to have a death grip on the Democrats' Loudmouth Crazy Lady trophy for a long until Jasmine Crockett came along a couple of years ago. Crockett is probably smarter than AOC, but she thinks it gives her the street cred that she never really had if she acts like a moronic insane asylum resident. I wrote in March that I was waiting for the Crockett/AOC "Congressional Dumb-Off," which I still think will happen. I can't imagine Squeaky letting Crockett's gaping maw eclipse her in the spotlight for too long.

Crockett has the straitjacket soapbox for the moment, however. In some recent, barely coherent remarks, Crockett said that anyone who supports President Trump is "sick." Proving that she's the one with a mental disorder, Crockett wrapped up her denigrating screed with a call for unity.

I don't know about you, but I'm not feeling the love after being called "sick."

My Townhall colleague Rebecca Downs has video of Crockett's verbal assault here. Rebecca's post also features a response to Crockett's remarks by Patriotic America's Sweetheart — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

In bringing up the congresswoman's remarks and asking Leavitt to respond, a reporter also pointed out how Crockett is "a rising star in the Democrat Party right now," which Leavitt concurred with, calling it "quite something to behold, actually." With laughter in her voice, Leavitt added that "I hope that she continues to be a rising star for the Republican Party at least!"
"I think it's incredibly derogatory to accuse nearly 80 million Americans of mental illness," Leavitt continued. "The last time I checked, Jasmine Crockett couldn't dream of winning such a majority of the public as President Trump did."

A star for the Republican Party indeed — I don't think that the bitter divisiveness Crockett and the other "luminaries" in the Democratic Party are peddling does anything to recapture the electoral ground they lost last year. They think it does, though, and we should encourage them to hold onto that thought.

Jasmine Crockett and the people around her think that she has some kind of broad appeal. She represents a D+25 district; a dirty sock that was a registered Democrat could get elected there.

If the Dems want to try and make a national star out of the exceedingly vile Crockett, let them. They can find out the hard way just how well their nastiness brand is selling in regular America.
