One of the most consistent elements of the identity politics practiced by the left is its selectivity. Whether in politics or higher education, the outrage that comes from allegedly racist or insensitive comments is confined to targets on the right. A case in point is the deafening silence after a diatribe by Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, during which she accused Hispanic voters of having a “slave mentality” and said that they “can barely vote.” There was no vaporous segment on The View or condemnations on the floor from members.
Crockett has been celebrated in left-wing publications such as Vanity Fair for schooling her colleagues, which she describes as “old as sh*t.”
She offered Vanity Fair her “distilled summary of what happens within the Latino community.” Not surprisingly, it is identity politics with a race edge:
“I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”
“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves. It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote that are having this kind of attitude.”
The attack on Hispanic voters as including people who “literally just got here and can barely vote” did not even generate objections from many Democratic Hispanic groups. Imagine if Trump or a conservative commentator made this comment.
Ironically, just before the election, I wrote how recent immigrants seemed to have a particularly strong connection to our defining and collective values. That does not appear a view shared by the congresswoman.
Crockett was, if anything, inclusive in her attacks based on gender and race. She also attacked black men and women for voting for Trump. She just dismissed black men as hating women: “I’m going to chalk up to misogyny.”
What is unimaginable is that any woman or person of color could vote on the merits against the Democrats.
Notably, after her loss, Hillary Clinton offered the same attacks on women as voting against her only because they are weak and self-loathing.
She claimed that Kamala, who notoriously avoided interviews and could not think of “a thing she would do differently” from Biden, “ran a flawless campaign.” The problem is again self-hating women and minorities, adding, “I don’t trust White women. I said, I’m just telling you, and I think you need to have conversations with your sisters, because they are the group that failed Hillary Clinton.”
The claim that Hispanics “can barely vote” would not be tolerated from someone on the right. It is reminiscent of the controversy involving Democratic lawyer and former Clinton campaign general counsel Marc Elias over what some called inherently racist comments about Georgia voters. Elias argued that Georgia voters could not be expected to be able to read their driver’s licenses correctly — a statement that seemed to refer to minority voters who would be disproportionately impacted by such a requirement.
What is striking about the Vanity Fair article is that Democrats continued to rely on identity politics despite every indication that it was not working. Now, after losing both houses and the White House, they are doubling down on identity politics.
Outgoing Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Jaime Harrison used his farewell address to warn Democrats not to abandon identity politics as the touchstone of future campaigns.
Jonathan Turley is the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University. He is the author of “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage.”
You can’t mix water and oil, which requires an emulsifier. The political emulsifier required to effect that mixture in America is welfare, affirmative action, quotas, forced busing, public housing, DEI, WIC, SNAP, TANF, HAMP, HARP, HUD, and all the other “free stuff” and “free status” that beneficiaries can conjure.
Americans pay taxes in order that they might give their money and their country away as rapidly as possible.
Who does that —-?
Fools, that’s who.
Love it. Crockett is making enough waves to land on Turley’s assigned take down list. She’s been awesome since her days in state government in Texas, her constituents are fortunate to have her…
Can’t wait to see what she has to say about Turley. Bahahahahahaha.
As an aside, Turls, how does it feel to know after volunteering to be this generation’s Roy Cohn that it still can’t get you past Gaetz and Bondi in the AG stakes???
^^ The very definition of stupidity ^^
Americans, you may not have a country.
You are required by law to give it away.

Jasmine is a Cracker, keeping blacks in-line on the democrat plantation, nothing more, nothing less
Today the subject of Professor Turley’s column is elected Democrat Representative Crockett.
Yesterday’s subject of Professor Turley’s column was elected Democrat District Attorney of Atlanta, Fani Willis.
A few days ago his column’s subject was the elected Democrat Vice President, VP Kamala Harris.
Just prior to the election, the column’s subject was former President Obama, lecturing ‘the black bro’s’ on their systemic misogny towards Harris and Uncle Tom attitude towards Trump.
1. Who was the last Democrat (ignoring these four Democrats) who campaigned by talking to black Americans as Americans – rather than addressing them as though they are nothing but downtrodden victims of white Republican racism?
2. And when was the last time Professor Turley said “All of these racist, vicious race baiting demagogues and their issues I write about, from Crockett today all the way back to Obama, are my fellow Democrat lawyers besmearing our profession while also making their living in politics”?
Those seem to be two very fair questions. There seems to be a trend of consistency that justifies both those questions.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas
“WE DIDN’T ASK TO BE HERE”
“WE WERE STOLEN”
“You tell me which white men were dragged out of their homes. You tell me which one of them got dragged all the way across an ocean and told that you are gonna go and work. We are gonna steal your wives. We are gonna f— your wives. That didn’t happen. That is oppression. We didn’t ask to be here. We not the same migrants that ya’all constantly come up against. We didn’t run away from home. We were stolen.”

Yowsir!
It seems that Turley may have difficulty with reading comprehension, or perhaps he is being disingenuous as he often is. It’s expected that none of the MAGA fans here will read or comprehend what Rep. Crockett was saying.
Turley consistently twists context and criticizes others for being confrontational. It’s not surprising since he relies on the low IQ and laziness of his MAGA readers to just buy whatever he says as gospel. I wonder when his first criticism of Trump or Musk will appear after the inauguration.
Rep. Crockett’s blunt and aggressive opinions resemble those of Trump’s supporters, which can be seen as a sign of her honesty. Turley, however, seized the chance to criticize Democrats for actions that Republicans frequently engage in.
Apparently the racists on the right recognized their own rhetoric in her and accused her of being racist. At least Turley admits ifs a rare thing. Apparently there are more racists on the right than in the left.
George, here is a deal for you, you side with this moron Crockett, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, AOC, Tlaib, Omar, Schiff and Swalwell and the majority of us on this site will side with Trump, Elon Musk, Vivek, Vance, RFK, Tulsi and other smart people and we will see who wins.
You keep siding with Joe Biden, the biggest loser to ever make it in high level politics, the most corrupt president ever, the dumbest man to enter the WH ever and we will just watch as you eat your words after he pardons his brother and a few other people we assume may be criminals. Go on hot shot, hitch your puny wagon to JOE FREAKIN’ BIDEN. It is laughable.
Hullbobby, you sound jealous. Trump is not even in office and he just managed to mess things up. He’s going to raise prices and inflation. He’s already hedging against lowering grocery prices after promising to lower them.
“The Three Biden Stooges who use our host’s blog as though belonged to them in order to Speak Their Truths to Professor Turley that I can imagine.”
“And George comes here every day to tell us how superior his knowledge and opinions are compared to Turley’s, who George finds as ‘disingenuous’ and ‘dishonest’ and guilty of intentionally avoiding certain facts that George believes in his wisdom as important, and how other commenters here simply lack ‘reading comprehension’ skills (even though George didn’t seem to understand the difference between ‘infer’ and ‘imply’.”
…”Or the difference between a cite that supports his position and one that contradicts it.”
Might be he’s on the young side. If so, they probably didn’t teach any actual English at his schools. Taught him that a female is a womyn. Speaking of which, isn’t female also poisonous? Maybe should be femail? Aren’t most postal workers femails?
“Most postal workers” will vote to be Teamsters, making the same $170K the UPS delivery workers make after the Postal Service is privatized.
UPS was “gifted” parcels, the most profitable segment—the cream off the top—of the old post office, while the postal service was left with the expensive, unprofitable, daily, door-to-door delivery—every house, every business, every day.
This is not even a response to the article. It in no way address or offers any sort of retort to anything Turley wrote in the article. It doesn’t address the key well documented points that Turley offers such as the obvious and in everyone’s-faces lack of consistency in calling out these sort of comments on the right while the media provides “crickets” when done on the left.
This diatribe by the cowardly individual hiding behind the fake name “George” is nothing more than what he writes in almost every single comment he makes. Its an “editorial” nothing more.
He just continues to insult Turley and anyone speaking in any way for Trump in a typical left wing editorial that usually has little to nothing to do with the article he’s responding to.
That’s because there is no response to such hubris by the left wing media, to constantly call out such statements on the right but when the left issues one they go silent.
This is what the article is about. It has nothing to do with what this pinhead moron troll has written.
All he is doing, is using Turley’s platform to post his own pinheaded and downright convoluted editorials.
GEORGE=DUM Biden/Kamala voter
Jonathan: Rep. Jasmine Crockett put her finger on the problem for Latinos who voted for DJT this year–particularly male Latinos. Latino men are equally susceptible to DJT’s “macho” swaggering braggadocio and misogynistic tendencies as any other groups of male voters. By voting for DJT “macho” Latino men think they are being “more American”.
Latinos have the same concerns as other Americans–the price of groceries, housing, healthcare and everything else. DJT already went back on his promise to reduce the price of “groceries”. If he goes through with his promise to increase tariffs on China, Canada and Mexico, Latino families are going to face skyrocketing prices for everything. Latino males are going to lose their jobs. Will they have the same views toward DJT when their spouses and girlfriends demand “mas dinero” for the essentials? We’ll find out in the next two years when DJT can’t deliver on his “promesas”!
Seems out leftist friends are in such a panic that all their narratives have failed they are now claiming that Musk is in control of Trump. Did they not claim that Trump had such a huge ego, such a narcissist? So, now they have to claim Musk is in control. Does that not undermind their own claims? I mean, if Trump has such an ego, is such a narcissist, would he really give up control to someone else?
Hey! Leftist Democrat losers! Your narrative is failing. Again.
How marvelous!
They appear to believe somehow that bemoaning Musk, while hiding behind their own Soros, and childishly claiming Musk is President, while we now know that for the last four years the receptionists and restroom janitors at the White House have been performing the Presidential duties, making international decisions, and playing pinochle to win a friend or a cousin the vaunted Presidential pardon, is something that would be negative towards Americans. Like weekend at Biden’s never happened or something.
That is because Jazzy C has taken notes and cues from her idol, Maxine Waters, that outrageous statements that would crucify the average Karen cannot be criticized by civilized society! Only oppressors and colonialists would dare refute her logic or limited anecdotal observations of people in her social circle. Her skills as a social scientist are unmatched with the exception of those with an actual education! Just total discredited nonsense by this half-wit!
Darwin may have theorized the Democratic Party of 2024 as most likely to fail having not meet fitness for survival, paraphrasing “those best adapted to their environment are more apt to survive”. Arbitrary derogatory characterizations can lead to rejection of not only the issue but those casting the aspersions’.
We could also use Sir Isacc’s first and three laws of motion: uniform motion will remain in motion until an external force acts, and for every action there is equal and opposite reaction, to paint a picture of what just happened in American Politics.
Geo w, “fitness” references number of offspring who or that survive to reproduce. Humans- woman A has 10 live births, 2 survive to reproduce. Woman B has 2 live births and 2 survive to reproduce. The fitness of woman A and B is equal. Survival of the fittest. What does woman C do in terms of fitness and woman D has 0 pregnancies.
Can someone please clarify the correct terminology for the incoming administration.
Is it President Trusk ???
Or is it President Mump ???
Either is acceptable.
As long as it is not Harris.
How does it feel to be such a loser?
Gigi’s sole contribution is ad hominem.
Glorious.
Brilliant!

THANK GOD. We dodged a bullet!!
Thanks to Musk, I think we doge’d another one.
Don’t you just love the ethics of the Supreme Court

Now do Joe Biden.
Don’t you just love the ethics of the Supreme Court Millions of dollars for Justice Thomas, beans and crap for you.
Now, now, little cowardly Anonymous Democrat… any reason you parroted the people at Politico that assured you Justice Thomas is unethical? The same Politico who assuring you that the Russia Dossier proves Trump is a Russkie agent, and that laptop isn’t Biden’s, it’s Putin’s election campaign disinformation?
Why aren’t you talking about the ethics of The Wise Racist Latina Womyn, Justice Sotomayor, merching out her position on the court to by getting publishers to print and sell her childrens’ books? Ten million and counting!
Why aren’t you talking about the ethics of the Questioning Birthing Person Justice, Justice Jackson, a mother who said under oath that she could not explain what a woman is, even after took a peek into her panties to see what was smiling back at her?
If you can’t answer those questions, answer this one:
Why would you believe anyone here believes you deserve the tiniest shred of credibility – or a belief you actually care about ethics in either SCOTUS or in the Biden/Harris White House?

Have any of you MAGA chucklemonkeys been wondering why Elon Musk suddenly started pouring huge amounts of money into Trump’s campaign just a few months before the election ?
What happened at such a late time in the election campaign to prompt his massive donations?
Well, at about the same time it was discovered that Spacex and Musk were being investigated by at least three federal agencies: the Defense Department Office of Inspector General, the Air Force, and the Pentagon’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security.
Apparently there have been some serious security breaches with highly classified information at Spacex, which has contracts to develop the Starshield spy satellite program for the Pentagon. This is by far the most sensitive and secret program in the intelligence community. In order to have access to information about this program individuals must have the highest possible security clearance. In this case it is a special Air Force clearance known as Special Access Programs. This is a clearance even higher than TS/SCI (Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information).
A relatively small group of Spacex engineers have this clearance.
The Air Force denied this clearance for Musk last year because of his failure to report his mental illnesses, Aspergers Syndrome and depression.
He also failed to report his use of illicit drugs, LSD, magic mushrooms and marijuana.
He also failed to disclose his use of ketamine to treat his depression.
He also failed to disclose his contacts with foreign adversarial leaders, including Putin and Orban.
All of these failures are absolute disqualifying factors for denial.
What this means is that Musk may not have access to any information about the spy satellite program. He is also forbidden to even physically enter any facility where this program is being developed, and is absolutely forbidden from attending meetings where the program is discussed. However, Musk has blatantly defied these restrictions, and has tried to sit in on meetings where highly sensitive matters are discussed. This has created problems for the engineers who do have special clearance. They are obliged by the terms of their clearance to self-report any known breaches. If they fail to report breaches, and it is later discovered that they have failed to do so, then they immediately lose all clearances and will never again be eligible for any level of security clearance. Several of them have reported Musk’s violations, thus triggering the investigation. A number of them have been subsequently fired by Musk, and others have resigned rather than face the consequences of failing to report Musk’s violations The Pentagon is now concerned that the program is in disarray, and possibly compromised.
Musk desperately wants Special Access Programs clearance, but there is absolutely no way that this will happen through normal channels. However there is one way to bypass the official channels. Trump can simply order that Musk be given the clearance. Remember when Jared Kushner was denied Top Secret Clearance. Trump simply ordered that the clearance be issued.
Now we know why Musk suddenly poured hundreds of millions into Trump’s campaign.
He is trying to purchase a Special Access Programs clearance.
There is another secondary reason for Musk’s support of Trump. He has a personal ambition to be the first ever trillionaire. He is half way there already. However to achieve his goal he needs massive tax cuts for himself and his companies. Obviously he has cut a deal with Trump to push for tax cuts. If there are massive tax cuts, then this will explode the deficit, UNLESS there are massive draconian cuts in government spending. So, Trump put him in charge of DOGE, and Musk will attempt to eliminate as much spending as he can by destroying Social Security and Medicare.
So you see, dear MAGA chucklemonkeys, Musk’s motives are purely selfish. He only cares about his own personal ambitions, and everyone else can suffer the consequences of his greed.
TL;DR
Have any of you MAGA chucklemonkeys been wondering why Elon Musk suddenly started pouring huge amounts of money into Trump’s campaign just a few months before the election ?
Actually, no, feckless Anonymous Democrat coward. What we notice and remember is that Commie Biden Useful Idiot zombies in the Democrat Borg didn’t have a problem with Zuckerburg pouring half a billion dollars into Democrat districts in the 2020 election to get out the maximum number of Democrat votes for Biden in the states Zuckerburg selected for those Zuckerbucks.
Please Believe Me – Not Your Lying Eyes™ Is that your cunning and clever plan with this post?
So tell us, Anonymous commie – why WOULDN’T we think your ‘opinion’ is nothing but the angry wailing of cowardly Anonymous commie losers, reeking of the stench of Biden Bull Schiff?
That would be the current dementia patient semi-comotose in the Oval Office who sold America to the ChiComs and Putin to assuage his personal greed, with all Americans suffering the consequences.

Look at that! The Democrat social influencers going to such massive lengths to attempt to discredit Musk in any way possible!
What a powerful indicator of the magnitude of terror they are experiencing in what he will do to their criminal politicians, bureaucrats and the remainder of the Democrat-Mainstream Media Propaganda Complex. Including this Democrat blog bot, of course.
And as always, whether an attack or defense, they channel the guilt from their crimes and immorality from themselves onto those they wish to destroy.
So while they celebrated years of Biden selling those Biden Special Access Programs to the Communist Chinese and Putin out of the Vice President’s office, and Zuckerburg violating FEC laws to buy votes for Biden in 2020 – now they claim it is actually Elon Musk and President Trump who did all of that.
The greatest insult from these morons isn’t that they direct their blatant lies at us. The greater insult is that they have convinced themselves we’re as moronic as they and their fellow Democrats, so much so that we will believe their lies and not notice that they’re channeling their guilt on us.
Please provide links so we can verify. If this is true ( at this time we have no info ) than this would be a concern.

MAGA chucklemonkeys ?? …..yourself!
“Now we know why Musk suddenly poured hundreds of millions into Trump’s campaign.
He is trying to purchase a Special Access Programs clearance.”
Which means that Trump is a better negotiator than is JB.
Biden and his kleptocratic family only received a paltry few millions for giving China security clearances.
We will have to brace ourselves for the likes of Jasmine Crockett and learn to abide her racist provocations. She is, after all, elected from a district where the majority of voters “can barely vote.” It’s a condition that makes it likely she will remain a nuisance for as long as she wants to serve her majority Congress.
