Rep Jasmine Crockett claims newly appointed under secretary Darren Beattie is a 'white supremacist,' says she's tired of 'white tears' over DEI

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) appeared on CNN’s Laura Coates Live on Monday evening, during which she said she was "tired of the white tears" about diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements and said that white men are being "coddled."

The comments came as Coates and Crockett were discussing Darren Beattie, who was appointed to serve as acting Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. Coates noted that Beattie previously wrote, "Competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work. Unfortunately, our entire national ideology is predicated on coddling the feelings of women and minorities, and demoralizing competent white men."

"He needs to go," Crockett said. "I mean, this is very simple. We right now have a white supremacist that is sitting in the White House. He is backed up by other white supremacists. And if you really want to know who the criminals are in this country, you can Google it," she continued, repeating a claim she made previously that "the people that commit 80 percent of the most violent crimes in this country are white supremacists."

Coates cut in, noting that Trump has denied such allegations, to which Crockett replied "I don’t care what he says." Coates continued, "I know your point, but he did fire Darren Beattie in reaction, they believe, in part to his attendance at that conference. Does that change your opinion anyway."

"No, it doesn't change my opinion because we saw what he literally recently just posted. And the coddling is for the white boys. That's what's happening right now. I am tired of the white tears. Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned," Saic Crockett.

"When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don't feel away and why you can't make me doubt who I am is because I know that I had to work 10 times as hard as they did just to get into the seat. When you look and you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. And that is the life that we have always lived. So, the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder."
