Jasmine Crockett Mocks ‘Mediocre White Boys’ Complaining About DEI

Jordan King, Newsweek, February 4, 2025

Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett slammed “mediocre white boys” complaining about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, telling them: “If you are competent, you are not concerned.”

Crockett was on CNN‘s Laura Coates Live show, discussing the reported appointment of Darren Beattie—a speechwriter fired by Trump in 2018 after it emerged he had attended a conference with white nationalists—in a top State Department role.

Coates mentioned that Beattie, who previously told the Washington Post that he was not racist, posted last year: “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.”

Crockett responded that “coddling for the white boys is what’s happening right now,” adding: “I am tired of the white tears. Listen, if you are competent, you are not concerned.”

She went on: “When I walk into Congress every single day, you know why I don’t feel a way 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.”

Later on, while discussing Trump’s deportation plans, the Texas Democrat said: “The only people that came and colonized this place are your ancestors, Trump.”
