Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) believes Democrats have to “punch” to win elections in Texas, stating that Republican politicians such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) need to be “knocked over the head, like, hard.”
Crockett made the remark during an interview with NBC 5’s Phil Prazan and Dallas Morning News’s Gromer Jeffers. She was asked, “How do you win elections in Texas as a Democrat? What do you do? Especially statewide.”
“I think that you punch,” Crockett said, answering the question with colorful and violent imagery. “I think you punch. I think you’re ok with — you’re ok with punching.”
“You know, I think, and I love Colin, and I think towards the end, he started to punch a little harder,” she said, continuing to use this language despite years of the left accusing the right of using violent and divisive rhetoric.
Then she upped the ante.
“But, like, it’s Ted Cruz. I mean, like, This dude has to be knocked over the head, like, hard, right?” she said. “Like, there is no niceties with him, like, at all. Like, you go clean off on him, right?”
