Jasmine Crockett Struggles After Being Cornered Over Reparations-lllllllll
Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas offered a lengthy, meandering response about her position on reparations during a Thursday appearance on REVOLT News’ “The People’s Brief.” Crockett, who is running for the U.S. Senate, previously said on “The Black Lawyers Podcast” in April 2024 that she was open to exempting Black Americans from paying taxes as a form of reparations.
During the REVOLT News interview, host Lynae Vanee said there was “some misinformation” about Crockett’s stance, but Crockett did not clearly restate or clarify her position.
“I think that anybody that knows me knows that I’m a fan of, you know, making sure that people understand our contributions as well as acknowledging the harm that has happened as it relates to our people,” Crockett said. “And so for me, it’s always been about what is it that we can actually get passed?”
“Because I feel like what we do is we constantly have the conversation and we’re like ‘Reparations, reparations.’ But it’s like, all right, so if we were to move forward in any way, what does that look like?” she continued. “And so, you know, I look at it like I think it takes kind of some bold, unapologetic people to move the needle.”
No American alive today was ever a slave or born into slavery in the U.S.
Crockett then shifted her focus to criticizing President Donald Trump for suggesting that those prosecuted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot should be compensated, as well as for his proposal to make the tax cuts from 2017 permanent.
“We know that Donald Trump advocated for reparations for January 6ers, right?” she said, as though compensation for wrongful prosecution and payments to former slaves is the same thing. “And so it’s like, why is that not a big controversy, right? Like, I mean, that’s a bit more controversial in my mind, right?”
“So why is it that we can sit here and be okay with the fact that billionaires are going to get historic tax cuts that are permanent and we’re not talking about like really evaluating what could move the needle as it relates to how far behind we got because of our contributions basically just from slave labor and yeah,” she added.
Crockett also said she was working on “truth and reconciliation” in the House. She introduced the “United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Concurrent Resolution” in June to create a congressional commission examining the effects of alleged “systemic racism” against black Americans, along with continuing “racial inequities” that she never named.
Per the Daily Caller, just over one-third of Americans even support paying reparations to descendants of slaves. It’s not clear if there is any similar data showing support for or against paying white immigrants to the U.S. ‘reparations’ for being discriminated against when they arrived from Europe.
Crockett’s decision to launch a campaign for the U.S. Senate in Texas has sparked frustration among some House Democrats, who worry her bid could complicate the party’s efforts in the state.
Crockett, known for her outrageous remarks about Trump, is viewed by some Democrats as a polarizing figure who could make it harder to appeal to swing voters in a statewide race.
Several party strategists also fear that if she becomes the nominee, her presence at the top of the ticket could affect competitive House races that may determine control of the chamber next year.
“She might win a primary, but she ain’t winning a general in Texas,” a senior House Democrat who, like others quoted by Axios, spoke on the condition of anonymity to offer straightforward thoughts about a colleague.
“It’s concerning for [swing] districts … I think it’s a bad decision,” a second Democrat told the outlet.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
