DALLAS, TEXAS — Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, a first-term representative from Texas, stirred conversation online on Sunday with a blunt statement about former President Donald Trump and the political climate ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
In a tweet posted late Saturday, Crockett wrote, “Ok I’m not clicking on anything else about the orange one… I’m protecting the last little bit of peace that I have before the next 4 years of hell is unleashed. ✌🏾” The post, referencing Trump, has since gained significant traction, sparking reactions from both critics and supporters.
The tweet comes as Trump continues to dominate headlines, leading the Republican primary field by a wide margin and facing multiple ongoing legal battles. Crockett’s statement reflects growing political tension as the country braces for what many anticipate will be a polarizing general election campaign.
Crockett, a Democrat who represents Texas’ 30th Congressional District, has been an outspoken critic of Trump and his policies. Her tweet underscores the frustration and concern shared by many in her party about the possibility of a Trump re-election bid.
