Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, responded to President Donald Trump<\/a> Sunday afternoon on X, saying he is “terrified” of “smart, bold Black women” telling him the truth.<\/p>\n

The post was in response to an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” where Trump said Crockett was a “low IQ person,” and voiced concerns about the future of the Democratic Party.<\/a><\/p>\n

“For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot,” Crockett wrote in the X post. “Every time you say my name, you\u2019re reminding the world that you\u2019re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking\u2026”<\/p>\n

The social media<\/a> response was not her first time addressing Trump’s remarks.<\/p>\n

Following the president’s interview, Crockett sounded off on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show, saying she would “absolutely” take a head-to-head IQ test against Trump.<\/p>\n

Crockett, a first-term Democrat who has been criticized for several controversial comments this year, often voices her opinions on social media \u2014 where she has accumulated more than a million followers.<\/p>\n

In March, she was scorched online for failing to apologize for calling Texas Republican\u00a0Gov. Greg Abbott<\/u><\/a>,\u00a0who uses a wheelchair, “Governor Hot Wheels.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

She claimed on X that she was not thinking about the paralyzed governor’s condition when she made the remarks, but then took shots at Trump supporters \u2014 calling her gaffe “yet another distraction.”<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m even more appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump\u2014a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities \u2014 are now outraged,” she wrote in the post. “Keep that same energy for all people, not just your political adversaries.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Finally, this is yet another distraction. Instead of obsessing over and hanging on to my every word, maybe my political foes should focus on doing the work of the people who elected us to improve their lives.”<\/p>\n

Randy Weber, R-Texas, Crockett’s fellow delegation member, responded to her explanation by telling her “words have meanings & actions have consequences.<\/p>\n

“I look forward to introducing my resolution to censure you for your words and actions,” Weber wrote.<\/p>\n

Crockett also previously called for DOGE head\u00a0Elon Musk<\/u><\/a>\u00a0to be “taken down,” and said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, should be “knocked\u00a0over the head, like, hard.”<\/p>\n

The White House and Crockett did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.<\/p>\n
