The Morning Briefing: It's Time Once Again for a Quick Jasmine Crockett-Bashing Break

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Phonwynge tended to speak highly of anyone who appreciated corduroy and an onion-heavy brunch.

On Monday's episode of "Five O'Clock Somewhere" I mentioned that I enjoy focusing on all of the good stuff that's going on in the world of politics right now, which is quite a lot for those of us who have been riding the Trump Train for a while. Yes, there is plenty of irritating news as well, but on balance, it's been a good start to the Trump 47 era.

I keep talking and writing about the good news because it's important to counter the barrage of horse manure coming from the left. It can all be very disheartening, even when we know it's fake news.

I wrote last week that President Trump is taking big swings and connecting for a lot of home runs. The truth of that is driving the Democrats ever more insane. Their media mouthpieces aren't handling it very well, either. The poor dears are trying to spin the aforementioned horse manure into gold in an ongoing Theater of the Desperate performance. For example, former CNN flack Chris Cillizza thinks that America's Dumbest Bartender, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has the best chance of being the Democrats' 2028 presidential nominee. My Twitchy colleague Brett T. covered that here.

That's what could be referred to as a best-case scenario for the Republicans.

Another Democrat who's getting a lot of propping up by the flying monkeys in the mainstream media is Jasmine Crockett, the faux street-tough congresswoman from Texas. The most recent press attention that's come her way isn't turning out that well for her, though. The Atlantic did a profile on her titled "A Democrat for the Trump Era." This is rich — the author says that her foul-mouthed approach is merely her way of "testing out the coarse style of politics that the GOP has embraced."

Sure, it's the Republicans' fault that she's an off-putting windbag.

My friend and HotAir colleague John Sexton wrote an article about the profile, and there are some real doozies in there. Her fellow Democrats in Congress aren't all thrilled with her, finding her "loose cannon" mouth to be a liability. She made a pitch to be the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee based solely on the fact that she has a large social media presence. No, really. That didn't impress her colleagues.

Here's more from John's post:

Case in point, when Crockett learned that the author of the Atlantic piece had contacted a lot of her fellow Democrats for comment, she wasn't very happy. Maybe she had a good idea what some of them were likely to say about her. She tried to retroactively cancel the profile days before it was published.

The X and Facebook proggies might like Crockett's shtick, but she'll need to win over some hearts and minds in her own party if she's going to be their 2028 golden girl.

Crockett isn't a refreshing voice for the Democrats; she merely makes their cry for help louder. The fact that she and Squeaky get any mention as big players in the party shows just how badly the Democrats are flailing. Gavin Newsom is all-in for 2028, of course, but he's not going to pass any diversity tests. They're determined to get a woman into the White House, and nothing could be better for the Republicans than for Crockett and Ocasio-Cortez to keep getting a lot of attention.

If we're really lucky, they'll both be on the ticket.
