Jasmine Crockett and Gavin Newsom claim Trump's crime crackdown on 'black woman-led' cities is racist

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sat down with California Governor Gavin Newsom on his podcast, where the Democrat lawmaker and the governor agreed that President Donald Trump's crime crackdown in DC is a sign of racism, because the city is led like a black woman.

Newsom asked Crockett about her thoughts on the crackdown in crime in DC, and what "dots" need to be connected as Trump has deployed the National Guard to help curb criminality.

Crockett responded, saying that the crackdown is "dystopian" and that the "militarization" of law enforcement started in the state of California, when Trump sent the National Guard to Los Angeles, which Crockett referred to as a "black woman mayor's city." Karen Bass is the mayor of LA.

She then added, referring to DC, where Muriel Bowser is mayor, "And now we are in yet another black woman-led city and taking over." Crockett went onto say, "To me, it goes again to the level of racism and hate that is constantly spewed out of this administration. Now, they hate for you to call them what they are. But listen—I mean—if it walk like a duck, quack like a duck, then I guess it is a duck. So, like, racism is racism, and you are specifically targeting um these black-led areas."

Newsom nodded along when Crockett made the comments, and then later in the interview said, in reference to Crockett's earlier comments, "The city—yes, you're right. And I think it is absolutely legit—run by an African American woman. You start to find those dots, and they have a lot in common with what you were referring to."

Crockett also claimed during the interview with Newsom that MAGA "are the most unpatriotic people we have in this country," and that Democrats "are the real patriots" that have to "Take our flag back and show people what America is about."
