During an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, President Trump directed a pointed jibe at Representative Jasmine Crockett, labeling her “a very low IQ person.” He mused publicly whether she might share lineage with the legendary Davy Crockett—even though there is no known connection.
The comment follows Crockett’s recent harsh criticism of Trump at a Phoenix rally, where she referred to him as a “piece of s—.” She has since defended her outburst, characterizing Trump’s insult as consistent with his broader pattern of targeting people of color with demeaning rhetoric.
This verbal confrontation is the latest in a series of escalations between the two, underscoring their growing antagonism and ongoing clash in public discourse, as both continue leveraging heated language to reinforce their political personas.
