Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas is filling the ‘leadership’ void in the Democrat Party. She’s quickly becoming the ignorant, racist face of the rudderless faction. Unsurprisingly, her ignorance extends to the U.S. Constitution. She believes ‘hate speech’ is not protected by our First Amendment rights as laid out in the nation’s founding document.
Here’s what she had to say during a recent hearing on censorship. (READ)
“The thing about the Constitution is that it has always been a balancing test. There are limits to this. And right now what we continue to hear from a certain side of the aisle is that there are no limits to this lawlessness. In fact, there are limits, and I can tell you that one of those limits typically is around hate crimes. You may or may not know that when it comes down to it, if somebody decides that they want to send something hateful in, say, the US mail, they can actually go to prison for that—up to 5 years in prison. So yes, there are always going to be limits.”
It’s just as cringe hearing it pour out of her mouth. (WATCH)
During a hearing on censorship, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett falsely states that hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment.
This level of ignorance about the Constitution should disqualify you from holding office.

She’s a lawyer too.

She’s a lawyer and an elected government official. That’s pretty scary!
Thankfully, there was someone present to take her back to grade school. Check this out.
Later, @shellenberger (who is not a lawyer) corrected Congresswoman Crockett (who is a lawyer), explaining that the law she was thinking of applies to criminal threats, not mere hateful speech. pic.twitter.com/7675jAtUQi

I like how he just pointed out that a middle schooler grasps this concept but not Crockett 🤣🤣🤣

There really should be a basic test before they are sworn in … history, civics, government. Their ignorance is so embarrassing.

What is their oath to uphold the Constitution worth if they don’t understand it?
— Laura Powell (@LauraPowellEsq) February 14, 2025
That’s a great point. How can one swear an oath to uphold something they don’t understand?
We’re pretty sure she would fail to protect our speech rights.
That is exactly what it’s meant to protect the speech you don’t like. By the way to her hate speech is anything you say she doesn’t like.

If every word spoken or written made everyone happy we wouldn’t NEED the 1st Amendment!

It’s kind of frightening that this is what one of our politicians believes, but I bet she’s not the only one.

As a poster said, it would be nice for elected officials to pass a civics test before taking office. We doubt that would ever become a rule, though. Crockett doesn’t understand how freedom of speech works, and she’s a rising star in the Democrat Party. That should frighten us all.
