It is an annual tradition on our Ringside Politics TV and radio programs to award a “Turkey of the Year” during Thanksgiving week. This designation is bestowed on an especially worthy politician, bureaucrat or celebrity who deserves such special recognition.
Our previous winners have included both Republicans, such as former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney, and Democrats, such as former President Joe Biden. Most of our Ringside Politics “Turkey of the Year” winners are distinguished by foolish behavior, an ornery disposition, and idiotic actions, just like their ugly bird namesakes.
This year, as usual, we asked our audience members to submit their nominations for 2025 “Turkey of the Year” consideration. To say we were bombarded with worthy candidates is an understatement. Undoubtedly, 2025 was a particularly good year for “Turkeys.”
The list of qualified nominees was extensive and included local favorites such as New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell, recently indicted, who left her successor with a $160 million budget deficit.
Others receiving consideration were U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the creator of the federal government shutdown, and U.S. Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who could be court-martialed due to his participation in the “Seditious Six” video.
An especially popular nominee was 2024 “Turkey” winner, former Vice President Kamala Harris, who embodies this award in every sense. However, no repeat winners are allowed, thus she was excluded from consideration.
Like Harris and other previous winners, our 2025 award recipient is a real “Turkey.” In fact, she is a “jive turkey,” a foolish congresswoman who exaggerates and makes empty promises. Of course, the 2025 winner of the Ringside Politics “Turkey of the Year” Award is U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).
Former employees have called Crockett a “diva” and a “boss from hell.” In response, Crockett said the criticisms are evidence that she has “arrived, honey.” In a New York Post expose, former employees said that Crockett was “a terror to work with,” was often “rude,” and would “scream” at her staff.
