Trump’s “Low IQ” Jab Sparks Senate Bid Frenzy

A Texas Democrat just launched a Senate bid by looping Donald Trump’s “low IQ” insults into her campaign ad, betting anti‑Trump rage can flip a red state your votes helped keep free.

Crockett Turns Trump’s Insults into a Campaign Brand

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has now jumped from a safe blue House seat into a Senate race, rolling out a launch video that literally opens with Donald Trump calling her “low IQ” and a “lowlife.” Rather than defend policy positions, she leans into Trump’s mockery as proof she “threatens” his agenda and claims his language is racially coded, hoping Democrat voters will reward confrontation over competence at a time Texans want security and stability.

The spot is designed to make Trump, not Texas, the main character. Crockett’s team uses his voice as the hook before pivoting to biography and progressive themes, betting that anger at Trump still drives turnout among liberals more than concerns about the economy, the border, or public safety. That tells you everything about where the modern Democratic Party is: obsessed with relitigating Trump instead of explaining how they would lower prices, secure the border, or defend American energy.

From “Hot Wheels” Insult to Progressive Hero Status

Crockett is not new to inflammatory rhetoric. She previously mocked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott by calling him “Hot Wheels,” a shot widely seen as targeting his use of a wheelchair. That episode triggered a censure push from Texas Republicans and confirmed for many voters that the same crowd lecturing about “kindness” and “inclusion” is perfectly willing to use personal insults when it suits them. Yet on the left, those same remarks helped build her reputation as a fighter, not a unifier, and pushed her further into the national spotlight.

Trump answered those attacks by calling Crockett a “very low‑IQ person” and a “lowlife” in media interviews, tying her to what he describes as a Democratic Party run by incompetent radicals. Crockett then rushed to cable shows to accuse Trump of promoting a “white supremacy agenda,” claiming his criticism of her intelligence was racially motivated rather than political. Instead of arguing issues like taxes, parental rights, or school discipline, the feud became another culture‑war spectacle where both sides traded insults while everyday families dealt with higher costs and lingering damage from years of left‑wing mismanagement.

Democrats Again Nationalize Texas with Anti‑Trump Politics

National Democrats have tried this playbook before in Texas. Beto O’Rourke, a media favorite, ran statewide on a Trump‑focused, progressive brand that played well on MSNBC but repeatedly fell short with the broader Texas electorate. Crockett is now testing the same formula: loud cable hits, heavy use of identity politics, and a message built around “resisting authoritarianism” rather than addressing local concerns such as energy jobs, property taxes, crime, and out‑of‑control illegal immigration that Trump’s new administration is finally cracking down on again.

For conservatives, there is a clear contrast. On one side, Trump’s America‑First agenda is once again securing the border, rolling back DEI bureaucracy, defending women’s sports, unleashing domestic energy, and insisting that federal benefits serve citizens before illegal migrants. On the other side, candidates like Crockett are trying to build entire statewide campaigns around personal beef with Trump, turning his insults into merchandise instead of explaining whether they support sanctuary policies, gun control, student‑loan bailouts, or climate rules that punish working families already squeezed by inflation.

What Crockett’s Bid Reveals About Today’s Democratic Party

Crockett’s rise tells you who the left now elevates. She is a civil‑rights lawyer turned activist lawmaker who built her brand on combative hearing clips, viral social‑media moments, and racial accusations against opponents. In that world, being attacked by Trump is not a cost; it is the credential. The more she calls him a “dictator” or worse, the more progressive donors open their wallets, even if her agenda would mean bigger government, softer crime policy, and more hostility toward traditional faith and family life.

Texas voters, especially conservatives and independents, now face a familiar choice. They can reward a media‑driven campaign that treats the Senate as a stage for endless Trump drama, or they can back leaders focused on border enforcement, cost‑of‑living relief, constitutional rights, and getting Washington out of their daily lives. Crockett’s launch video makes clear she is running to be a national symbol of resistance, not a partner in restoring order, growth, and respect for America’s founding values.
