“80 percent of extreme crimes are committed by white supremacists in this country.”

During her district swearing-in ceremony for the 119th Congress on Tuesday, Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed that "evil" is in the Oval Office and suggested that President Donald Trump’s supporters are white supremacists.
"Y’all, it’s getting real. It’s been eight days. Eight days, y’all, eight," Crockett said. "And we were only in for three of them. It’s been eight days. And honestly, I don’t know how else to describe this, other than evil. It’s evil that is literally sitting in the highest seat in the world."

View on XNoting that she now serves on the House Judiciary Committee and her first hearing was on immigration, Crockett told the crowd, "I know there’s a lot of propaganda that’s out there, but one of the things that I made clear is that it’s not immigrants that are committing all the crimes."
You can go out and find any random criminal of any race, I just want to be clear, but going out and finding one terrible situation and then taking a paintbrush and saying this applies to all of them is wrong."
She continued, "Let me make sure y’all got the facts, most extreme crimes that take place in this country are committed by white supremacists. 80 percent of extreme crimes are committed by white supremacists in this country. Do you know who went up there on January 6? White supremacists. This ain’t me just telling you, you can Google this if you don’t believe me, but it was the Oath Keepers. It was the Neo Nazis. It was the Proud Boys. They are all white supremacists."
Of the 7,964 arrests for murder or nonnegligent manslaughter in 2019, the latest Crime in the United States report available by the FBI, 4,078, or 51 percent, were black suspects, while 3,650, or 47 percent, were white suspects. An additional 125 were American Indian or Alaska Native, 83 were Asian, and 28 were Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.
Addressing Democrats and the 2024 election, she said, "we need to recognize that there is no such thing as perfection that is walking on this earth. And I think some of us got caught up and because we didn’t have our perfect candidate. Some of us decided that we would stay home."
