Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett has emerged as a leading progressive voice but faces sharp criticism from Republicans. Former GOP Congressman Trey Gowdy mocked her on Fox News, highlighting past controversial comments, including instances where Crockett allegedly mocked disabilities and questioned opponents’ mental health. Gowdy argued that such remarks risk alienating voters.

In a recent interview, Crockett confirmed she would “absolutely” advocate for an impeachment inquiry into former President Trump if Democrats regain the House majority in 2026. She highlighted investigating issues such as alleged emoluments violations and pardons, signaling a tough and confrontational stance ahead of the upcoming midterms.

Her outspoken approach continues to draw both praise and backlash, making her a notable figure in the political landscape as the 2026 elections approach.
