Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett has taken a strong stand against President Donald Trump, demanding he rethink his foreign policy and relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin. After Trump's recent address to Congress, Crockett was asked by attorney Joe Gallina what she would say to the president, to which she boldly responded, “I would tell him to grow a spine and stop being Putin's ho.”
Crockett's comments come amid growing concerns regarding Trump’s alignment with Russia, particularly his handling of relationships with key international allies. She expressed dismay at the current situation, stating, “That’s all we got right now, is Putin's little ho that is out here really doing the bidding of Russia in a way we've never seen an American president do.” Her remarks sharply criticize Trump's recent interactions with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Vice President JD Vance, which reportedly devolved into a contentious shouting match.
Highlighting the broader implications of Trump’s foreign policy, Crockett condemned his threats of tariffs against Mexico and Canada. “Diplomacy doesn’t look like s---ting on our allies by telling them we’re going to impose tariffs to the north and south of us,” she asserted. She warned that such tariffs could harm American households by increasing the costs of essential goods, stating, “Because so much lumber and steel come from Canada, Americans will see housing costs go through the roof.” She urged the president to foster cooperation, noting that “as people are still complaining about their eggs, now they’re going to have to worry about the rest of their groceries.”
Crockett further voiced her frustration with Trump's leadership style, likening it to a reality television show. “It is time for him to grow a pair and start to do the work of an American president and stop pretending that he is on some terrible reality TV show that is looking for ratings,” she remarked. She hopes the public will turn its attention away from ratings-driven politics to more substantive conversations.
Crockett has become known for her candidness, also making headlines recently for her blunt response to Elon Musk, telling him to “F--- off.” Her willingness to speak out reflects the growing sentiment among some lawmakers who demand accountability from leaders in times of diplomatic crisis.
