U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is coming under fresh fire for voicing what’s being called a “fake ghetto” accent in an apparent attempt to appeal to black voters.
New video clips of the congresswoman have been posted on X, demonstrating two versions of Crockett, one sounding highly educated, and another less than erudite.

In the first clip, the so-called rising star of the Democrat Party says eloquently: “First of all it’s good to see you in the new year. You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin, now it looks like a little bit over a year ago that I would be running for Congress.”
In the second juxtaposed clip, Crockett sounds more urban, saying: “Maybe ’cause these people, they are crazy. ‘Cause they always talk about how Christian they is.
“Yeah, I don’t know how many o’ dem on dat side are getting divorced ’cause they gettin’ caught up sleeping’ with they coworkers, staffers, interns, all the things. Yeah, you ain’t gotta believe me.
“Just go Google. You’ll find some of it. I’m tellin’ you, and the wives is bein’ messy and petty. They puttin’ in the divorce. I’m like, ‘Woo! That’s gotta be true ’cause your lawyer would know that they gonna lose it … .’”
Investigative journalist Laura Loomer said of the urban-sounding Crockett: “How the hell did this Shaniqua get into Congress? Can we get an Ebonics translator option on X?
“This is who @TheDemocrats call the new face of their party. A literal hood rat.”

Other commenters online noted:
“I need it translated to English.”
“It’s a fake ghetto shtick. She’s way upper middle class. And I predict she will drop that BS when she is up for reelection within new district parameters.”
“Except that she’s posing as a hood rat which to me is worse than wearing blackface on Halloween. She literally thinks she has to speak ghetto to identify with blacks because she’s a privileged rich educated lawyer. Can you get anymore racist than that?”
“As a child, this woman attended Mary Institute and Saint Louis Country Day School, in a zip code that is literally 2% black, and Rosati-Kain Academy, which is in Central West End, the most affluent neighborhood in St Louis. She grew up middle class with both parents at home.”
“That’s an act. And a poor one at that. I’ve said it before, it takes more to become a janitor working for the government than it does to become a congressperson.”
Her little act is very insulting to everyone. pic.twitter.com/adNmd4eeDw
