Was Donald Trump the Victim of White Privilege? A Democratic Member Wants to Know

For most of us, this election could not become more confusing. However, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Tx.) may have added a whole new level of confusion for many in suggesting that Donald Trump may have been the latest victim of systemic racism among law enforcement in the United States.

Trump previously cited his alleged abuse in the criminal justice system as a point of shared experience with some in the black community.

Crockett, however, seems to be willing to go further in suggesting that he may be the latest victim of a racist law enforcement system.

In the hearing with Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, the failure to stop and hold Thomas Crooks was raised by both parties in an unprecedented failure of security.

Crockett then got her chance and suggested that Trump may have come close to dying at the hands of white privilege.

“I want to talk about training and the fact that there was a little bit of confusion between this suspicious person and this perceived threat situation, and it seems like a different analysis is being done. One of my questions is what training your officers are getting on bias.

I’ve learned over and over again, dealing with law enforcement, that there’s generally no perception of threat when it’s a young white male, even if he’s carrying a long gun. Yet a lot of times, at least in this country, when it comes to law enforcement, there’s a perception of threat simply because a person has a little bit more melanin in their skin.

…Often times, one of the things that we’ve consistently advocated for on my side — and when I say my side, I mean when we’re faced with a tragedy where law enforcement has made a mistake — is bias training and whether or not our officers are getting it. So I’m curious, in some of the training that you’re talking about that’s part of your budget, is bias training part of it?”

Cheatle responded with “Yes, that’s true.” (An apparent response to the training element).

Notably, Crockett began by getting Cheatle to acknowledge that this was not a failure due to DEI, or Diversity Equity and Inclusion, policies. She then suggested that further DEI training may be needed in light of the assassination attempt.

To be clear, there is no evidence that Crooks was allowed to walk away after being spotted with a “long gun.” The current theory is that Crooks hid the gun before the event.

Moreover, he was identified as a possible threat due to being found with a golf range finder. However, that was not considered a barred or threatening device by the Secret Service.

Yet, Trump may find common ground here with Vice President Kamala Harris who has long maintained that “We do have two systems of justice” and has added:

“I don’t think that most reasonable people who are paying attention to the facts would dispute that there are racial disparities and a system that has engaged in racism in terms of how the laws have been enforced. It does us no good to deny that. Let’s just deal with it. Let’s be honest. These might be difficult conversations for some, but they’re not difficult conversations for leaders, not for real leaders.”

Trump may be willing to have the “difficult conversation” as the now purported victim of white privilege in the dismissal of would-be presidential assassins.

  2. Good theory on what Biden White House was doing by letting the ‘is he dead or alive’ rumors fly for days without ANY attempt to reassure the country —->

    “Could Joe Biden be dying?
    Sure.. Maybe…
    They are evil and need him out of the way for other chess moves, but don’t be surprised if they’re feeding you this garbage to steal the sympathy and martyrdom away from Trump.
    They tried to kill Trump and failed.
    What they could be doing right now is trying to build a fake story around Biden dying and then bouncing back as a survivor like Trump.
    They believe this would match Trumps martyrdom status.
    These ppl are desperate and sick”

    1. Yes these Dem operatives are desperate to cling to power.
      Not just sick, but actually quite evil.
      So is the wretched harridan, “Dr” Jill.
      Joe even took the big boy steps to board AF1 today.
      After putting the country through these past few days, the compliant propaganda press gently asked, “How are you feeling, sir?”
      FJB.

    3. “build a fake story around Biden dying and then bouncing back as a survivor like Trump.”
      So what is the end game in your scenario? Biden bouncing back and then announcing that “it was all a mistake, I’m still running for President”? You really think adding that clusterfornication to the quagmire that Democratic national politics is already would help more than hurt them? I’m also not buying any of the theories that Biden was dead or on life support at the time his withdrawal announcement was issued, not because I think they would have moral compunctions about such a ruse, but simply because I don’t see any way in which that would help their odds in November vs just announcing that he died, and Harris has taken over.

      1. Wait. Are you saying that they keep Rio de Janeiro on South America now? Thanks for the update.

    3. David,

      CNN is saying the say about sharks off Brazil. Maybe they are getting high eating illegal who can’t swim.

  4. How disgusting that a member of the US Congress must play the “race card” and exhibit what a “victim” she perceives herself to be. When all else fails: race, race, race.

  5. SCOTUS decisions
    Trump trials delayed
    Fani on trial
    The debate
    Trump charges dropped
    Trump assassination failed
    Joe gets canned

    Here is the best news the libtards have gotten in 6 weeks:

    Kamala is your candidate.

    Cant really blame them for pretending to be happy.

  6. This is going to be revealed to be a gigantic coms mix up. But yeah, I could see white privilege in reverse though in letting the shooter get that close. Maybe if the shooter had just a little more white privilege trump would be a little more removed from the planet?

    1. ” I could see white privilege in reverse though in letting the shooter get that close.”

      The shooter got “that close” by climbing to the roof of a building that was not secured, as it should have been. How would the complexion of the climber change that? Did they request the CVs of everyone who had an inclination to climb the building the day before the even, and fail to secure only because all of the applicants were Caucasian?

    1. I wonder if mrs-dr jill will stage a farewell party for the out-going so-called “Director”? on her way back to the Pepsi company? mrs/dr jill probably headed the effort to give the job to someone who was a nice person on the RICO-family’s detail (and didn’t complain about the German Shepherds), despite the fact that she was totally unqualified for the job of leading the Secret Service. Just more DE, folks!!

      1. “on her way back to the Pepsi company?”

        Cheatle will be extremely lucky to get her old job back, or any job with major security supervisory responsibility. Any such move will be under the public microscope, and shareholders would likely have some negative input on that eventuality.

        1. I think Cheatle completed her 30-year stint with this stunt. She can probably retire quite comfortably now.

  9. Crockett was trying to put too much into her time. She’s usually a lot ore on point. Still, she’s just saying what we all know to be true.

    As for Don from Queens, it’s reasonable to look into how the legal system, in its desire to make trump essentially immune from the law, will open up many unintended consequences.

    Take away the privileges and let that orange swine roast.

    2. it’s reasonable to look into how the legal system, in its desire to make trump essentially immune from the law, will open up many unintended consequences. Take away the privileges and let that orange swine roast.

      You’re talking about the legal system that hid the Clinton Crime Cartel from 2008 to 2012, and then again in 2015-1206? The “no reasonable prosecutor” justice system?

      Same legal system that hid Biden White House Crime LLC (a limited partnership) from 2008 until it went up on the rocks when the Soviet Democrats lost the House to Republicans in 2022? Hiding years of Biden White House Crime LLC bribery and felony tax evasion with Special Counsels deliberately waiting for serial years of tax evasion to be nullified by the statute of limitations?

      And then that legal system and it’s Special Counsel attempting to issue a Get Out Of Jail Free For Everything You Did card to The First Gun Felon Crackhead Son?

      Oh wait! WAIT!!! The legal system that said that The Big Guy heading Biden White House Crime LLC was guilty of 40 years of serial felonies – but the prosecutor then stated he wouldn’t refer The Big Guy for indictment after he left the White House with the same Clinton Get Out Of Jail Free card i.e. “no reasonable jury…”

      You want to see those corrupt pigs and sexual perverts roast along with the orange swine? You could have asked for that before the limited immunity decision was issued

      Or is that different?

  10. In a hard fought race to see who is the dumbest member of Congress Crockett always seems to be in the running.

  11. Who has been the beneficiary of decades of affirmative action, special loans, contract set asides, ‘equity’ [thumb pn scale], ‘inclusion’ [separate graduations, dorms, etc], lowered standards, abandonment of law enforcement and, you know the thing? Hard to read ‘white’ privilege into that.

  12. Jonathan: On behalf of Dennis McIntyre (who is still busy working on your previous post’s comments section), I would like to ask you a question:

    1. Vice President Harris is busy on the campaign trail today, attempting to wrap up her/your party’s coup over party members getting to choose their own nominee. President Biden is secluded back in his basement with The First Babysitter, Jill, presumably at least still alive if not sentient.

    2. Israel’s Prime Minister just arrived in America yesterday. Neither the president, the Vice President, or The First Babysitter Jill were there to greet him in his first state visit since Trump was president.

    With Biden In The Basement v. 2.0 and Vice President Harris putting all her energy and time into consummating the Soviet Democrat coup to drive the president out and defranchise party members, can you or more radical members of your political party like Dennis McIntyre tell Americans who’s actually running the USA right now?

    That’s a fair question as we now know Biden has clearly lost his mind (along with the support of party power brokers) and the only thing on Harris’s mind is completing the party coup and focusing what she has for a mind and her energy on her intended presidential campaign.

    Could the president now sitting behind the curtain be the smartest guy Biden knows? The man White House Biden staff called his primary counselor, The First Gun Felon Son, Hunter?

    Who is running the USA until Biden leaves office or dies first?

    It certainly isn’t Biden. And Harris isn’t going to care from now until the election – unless she thinks the issue is of advantage to her and worth investing time in.

    Where have the 24th Amendment hysterical screamers from Trump’s first year in office disappeared to?

  13. Trump is a Person of Orange (PoO).

    Diversity [dogma] (i.e. color judgment, class bigotry) is a judgment.

    DEI/IED/DIE are apt labels.

    Trump has been the target of Party Equity Inclusion (PIE).

    All’s fair in lust and abortion.

  14. How did the assassin, Crooks, know that he would have an opportunity to set up shop and take a shot anywhere in or near the venue?

    Why was Crooks confident that he would be out of sight or reach of the USSS?

    Jack Ruby was able to enter through a door in the police station that was left open for him to gain access and take his shot against Oswald.

  15. LOL — Darren is blocking comments right and left. Good job being for “free speech,” Turldog.

      1. AND now I’m blocked from upvoting comments. The online world just keeps getting more and more free-speechy

  16. What?
    Why is it when people talk about DEI, it comes out sounding like word salad?

      1. Some of them may just be too damned stupid to apprehend the results.

    2. Those who have promoted the victimology called DEI are nothing more than racists and sexists. They refuse to consider merit and believe opportunity to succeed is not enough.

    3. I had to chuckle Upstate. You said what was on my mind. They speak in a language that I’m not wired to comprehend. I honestly believe these neo-Marxists invented a language designed to make any practitioner of it sound intelligent, while simultaneously charging any listener questioning it with a career-ending ism allegation. In reality, they are as much an imbecile as Rep. (own goal) Dan Goldman.

  17. Your god trump is stooping to new lows in his whining about having to debate a woman. The poor baby has no masculinity left to fight with.

    2. Please define what you mean by your reference to “woman”. What is a woman?

    4. Please Cite Trump whining about debating Harris ?
      Trump would wipe the floor with Harris.
      Harris is a clueless light weight.
      She was absymal in the 2020 democratic debates.
      She got her clock cleaned by Tulsi and dropped out.

      Trump has no problem debating women. He very effectively dealt with Clinton

  18. One moment, excuse me, please.

    The American Founders would like to say a few words.

    Go ahead, Gentlemen.

    Ahem,
    _________

    Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1798, and 1802 (four iterations for clarity)

    United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,” March 26, 1790

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof…

    1. Constitutional Confederate Kluxxer George remains stuck in time in the racist Democrat Confederate south:
      The American Founders would like to say a few words. Go ahead, Gentlemen. Ahem,

      Attention! Attention, post Civil War America to Confederate Kluxxer George:

      1. You lost the Civil War. And your right to enslave black Americans with that loss.

      2. The American Founders are NOT an elected Congress; a constitutional expert like you cosplay as should know that. Ditto racist Democrat presidents like Wilson and FDR are not Founders.

      3. Acts of Congress, whether before or after you lost the Civil War, can and often are repealed, amended, or completely replaced.

      4. The SCOTUS Dredd Scott decision saying black Americans couldn’t own guns because they were only property has also gone into the trash can of history.

      1. Who’s the REAL idiot? — the stooge or the guy that’s stupid enough to argue with the stooge?

          1. Actually, my “reply comment” paraphrases a famous Mark Twain quote.
            But it’s not surprising that you and the fools that upvoted your idiocy are too stupid to know that.
            This is literally the dumbest place on Earth. Turleyville attacts idiots the way sh*t attacts flies, and for the same reason.

        2. Are you suggesting that the Founders and Framers were, in your Marxist miasma, “racist” and bigoted, and, therefore, criminal, anti-American, and unconstitutional?

          That seems a bit out of context and counterintuitive, wouldn’t you agree? 

          Oh, my!

          The Founders had no reason or right to live, and every last vestige of their very existence must be extirpated from American history along with their Constitution and Bill of Rights.

          Alternatively, free people are free to make choices, while anti-constitutional, anti-American communists are forcibly compelled to toe the party line.

          And America lost its freedom in 1860 at the behest of Lincoln’s fellow traveler, Karl Marx.

          Indeed, reprehensible slavery must and, ultimately, would have been legislatively abrogated, understanding that slavery was losing favor throughout the Western world and “withering on the vine.”

  19. Another tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. If you believe this racist rot, check what you’re using to shine your shoes.

  20. The black population is 13% of the US population. Black males are approximately 6.5% of the US population. 50% of gun murders in the US are committed by black males, 6.5% of the population. White privileged people are 85 % of the population and 15% of gun killings are committed by 42.5% of the population. In NYC 50% black males are carrying guns legally or illegally. If a cop stops and frisks black males for one day therell be a 50% confiscation or find. If a cop stops white males for one day and frisky the confiscation will be less. White privilege isn’t in play nor melanin.

    1. “White privileged people are 85 % of the population”

      Are you stupid, or just ignorant?

      Whites are 60% of the population.

      1. At least they didn’t overestimate the white privileged population to the extent some overestimate the minority underprivileged population, which by some accounts stands at 175%

        1. Never ascribe literal understanding to the illiterate, or numerical understanding to the innumerate.

      2. 68% white, 13% black 18% hispanic, 6% Asian. Of course Hispanic is not a real racial group. Some hispanics are white and some or black, but most are mixed white and Indian thus the total per centage shows over 100%. It is strange but now people are deciding anyone who is considered white has to be from a European back ground. The vast majority of North Africans (mostly arabs) consider themselves white and they see themselves totally different from the Blacks of the rest of Africa. In general the same can be said of Afgans. Then again if people actually take an advanced DNA test people will find the vast majority are of mixed blood. I myself look white but have Blood lines from India, Vietnam, South American Indian, and Puerto Rican. That is just from my mother’s side. It is much harder to determine the male side from DNA. But it is silly to try to make us different via skin color. Even in Africa some areas of skin color are very dark and others much lighter. Science tests and my life experience (75 years) have shown me that people of all skin color can be strong or weak, smart or dumb, brave or cowardly. Culture and education, along with individual grit make a large determination, of what each of can do and become.

        2. Is my white friend who was born in South Africa an African-American? He routinely claims to be when asked on various questionnaires and applications. Why are people from Spain (BTW, that’s in predominantly white Europe) considered Hispanic?

      3. Only in the Snickers Universe. It is the Milky Way galaxy they say. Small star system in an elliptical galaxy. The yellow sun system has no formal name. How about M&Ms. 85% stands.

      4. As in saying 85% of the USA lawful residents are non-“black” privileged people.
