Jasmine Crockett says she would ‘absolutely’ take head-to-head IQ test against Trump

During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the show’s host played clips of Trump criticizing Crockett. "He also called you 'low-IQ,' I’m sure you’re aware of that," Kimmel said. "Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly, head-to-head against the president of the United States?"

"Absolutely, absolutely," she replied.

In the wake of Crockett calling Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair to get around, "Governor Hot Wheels," Trump said of Crockett, "she’s a lowlife, and she’s a very low-IQ person," per the Daily Mail. "I don’t imagine the Democrats are going to have a person like that running their party."

Crockett later tried to walk back her comments, claiming that she "wasn’t thinking about the governor’s condition."

"I was thinking about the planes, trains, and automobiles he used to transfer migrants into communities led by Black mayors, deliberately stoking tension and fear among the most vulnerable. Literally, the next line I said was that he was a ‘Hot A** Mess,’ referencing his terrible policies. At no point did I mention or allude to his condition."

Trump said of Crockett at the NRCC gala, "How about this new one they have? Their new star - Crockett? How about her? Are they serious about that? That’s their new star?" IF that’s their new star, they’re in serious trouble.”

Trump added at the time, “They’ve totally lost their confidence, and it’s a hard thing when you lose your confidence, but they have. They’ve taken a lot of beatings and now they’re going to rely on Crockett to bring them back."
