Jasmine Crockett rejects violence claims after Charlie Kirk death
Story by Adeola Adeosun • 14h 
Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat, defended some of her past comments during a Friday appearance on The Breakfast Club radio show, rejecting accusations that Democrats' language contributed to political violence following the fatal shooting of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University (UVU) on Wednesday. 
The congresswoman distinguished between what she characterized as rhetorical criticism and direct calls for political violence, specifically defending her previous use of terms like "wannabe Hitler" to describe President Donald Trump.
The White House sharply condemned Crockett's comments, with spokeswoman Abigail Jackson telling Newsweek in an email: "Jasmine Crockett is the queen of divisive rhetoric and it's despicable that she would try and point fingers at President Trump for the assassination of his dear friend, Charlie Kirk."
Newsweek reached out to Crockett's office via email on Saturday for comment.
