Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, has said that recent violence in the United States is coming from the "MAGA" wing of the Republican Party.
Speaking to comedian Hasan Minhaj this week, Crockett said: "Violence doesn't come from Democrats, just to be clear. Obviously, anyone can be a criminal. But it is MAGA. It is the specifically MAGA faction. I don't think traditional Republicans are getting engaged in all of this."
When the topic of the two assassination attempts on then-candidate Donald Trump in 2024 arose, Crockett dismissed both Thomas Matthew Crooks and Ryan Wesley Routh as "Trump supporters."
Authorities have found no motive or political association with Crooks. Routh is known to have supported Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2020 Democratic primary cycle.
The representative of Texas' 30th Congressional District did not mention the vandalism of Tesla dealerships aimed at punishing Elon Musk, and the recent violence and shootings at Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention centers in Texas and Oregon.
At least 25 people were killed in Black Lives Matter protests in the spring and summer of 2020.
