WATCH: Committing Crimes Does Not Make Someone A Criminal, Crockett Says

Published 2 hours ago

on September 18, 2025

By Cullen McCue

U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) raised eyebrows during a recent appearance on the “Getting Better” podcast with Jonathan Van Ness that committing a crime does not make one a criminal.

“Understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right? So when people are like, oh, you know, crime is terrible. And yes, it is, right? Like, because when somebody goes out and commits a crime, they don’t typically, you know, say, well, I’m a D or I’m a R or I’m a I,” the congresswoman said.

“And so I understood what was kind of pushing them there. And so I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal. That is completely different. Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come for a lot of different reasons.”

Crockett has long been a proponent of “criminal justice reform” policies like sending social workers to respond to certain calls instead of police, defunding police budgets and eliminating cash bail.

Being stupid doesn't make someone a dumb Congresswoman.

Crockett argues a person committing a crime 'doesn't make them a criminal'
Story by Alexander Hall • 53m

FOX News
Rep. Crockett argues that committing crime should not necessarily classify a person as a a criminal

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, argued that people who commit crimes out of desperation should not always be considered as criminals.

Crockett appeared on Jonathan Van Ness’ "Getting Better" podcast, where the host asked her to share one key fact she wishes more people knew about crime in America.

 
"I would imagine that you worked with a lot of people that were like wrong place, wrong time, like didn't have a voice, like were falsely accused," he said. "What do you wish that people knew?"

Crockett said her work with indigent clients in Texas led her to "understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively."

There are no guilty people in prison.
Just ask any prisoner if they really did it:

I was framed.
I'm just taking the rap for my brother.
They got the wrong guy.
I couldn't afford no fancy lawyer.

Uh-huh. :jail:

Well I guess then that getting elected to Congress doesn't make you a Legislator or a Representative either.

What Crockett is saying is crime is political, and anytime you commit an act of harming the opposition that's not a crime.
