Rep. Jasmine Crockett is addressing right-wing talking head Laura Loomer’s racist attack against her last week.
As The Grio reported, while speaking at the annual Congressional Black Caucus, Crockett cracked a joke about the fact that she looks younger than Loomer without the help of cosmetic procedures.
“I know that some think that I am, you know, younger than I am…but just so ya’ll know, I am 12 years older than Laura Loomer,” Crocket, who is 44, told the crowd, who laughed and cheered her on. “And to be clear, there is no Botox.”
What did Laura Loomer say about Jasmine Crockett?
It all started when Loomer, who refers to herself as an “investigative journalist” and a “free thinker” on her X profile, made nasty comments about Crockett following her statements regarding how America was celebrating Charlie Kirk as a hero following his assassination.
“It hurts my heart that only two caucasians voted against honoring Charlie Kirk,” Crockett said during an appearance on CNN, according to Blavity. The “two caucasians” she was referring to are Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) and Mike Quigley (D-Ill.).
Not a fan of her stance regarding Kirk, Loomer quoted a tweet of the clip featuring Crockett, saying, “It hurts my heart that we have ghetto black b***es who hate America serving in Congress. @JasmineForUS.”
Laura Loomer called Jasmine Crockett ‘ghetto and low IQ’
Loomer added fuel to the fire after she caught wind that Black women, who were older than her, were calling out how much younger they look than her.
“All of my comments are being flooded with overweight African American women who are posting selfies on my pics of themselves with their arm fat and thigh fat busting out of their leggings they think are pants,” she tweeted. “They seem to think they look good.”
“They are big mad over my tweet about ghetto Crockett,” she added. “Oh well.”
Loomer followed up with more to say about Black women after someone pointed out that she was also getting slammed on TikTok.
“I don’t care. I don’t care to see the videos of ghetto women telling me what they think about my appearance because I called their hoot rat Queen Jasmine Crockett GHETTO,” she tweeted. “She is ghetto and Low IQ and even President Trump said so.”
“Those women who are on Tik Tok and blowing up my comments sections should actually try to be productive members of society and build a legacy instead of being basic women,” her tweet continued. “Many of them should hit the gym as well. They can mock me all they want. I do not care. If they aren’t making my happier or making me money, I do not care what they have to say.”
