Jasmine Crockett confronts Stephen A. Smith’s remarks head-on turning criticism into a moment of defiance.NH
Following Stephen A. Smith’s tirade against Jasmine Crockett and those alike, the U.S. Representative for Texas has reacted.
She replied with a prayer hands emoji to rapper Willie D’s comments about Smith.
“Stephen A. Smith taking shots at Jasmine Crockett ain’t just messy, it’s weak,” he stated in a repost shared on Crockett’s Instagram Stories. “Dude is sitting on one of the biggest mics in America, and instead of using it to uplift, he’s tearing down a Black woman who’s out here putting in real work. That ain’t critique, that’s betrayal. Jasmine Crockett ain’t the problem.”
He described Crockett as “the kind of woman who walks into rooms full of snakes and makes the snakes flinch.” When it came to Smith, Willie noted, “Stephen showing us what happens when the paycheck gets louder than the principle. That’s sucker shyt, straight up.”
Last week on Smith’s podcast, Straight Shooter with Stephen A., he called Crockett out.
“How a Jasmine Crockett chooses to express herself, I’m like ‘Is that gonna help your district in Texas?’ Aren’t you there to find a way to get stuff done as opposed to just being an impediment to what Trump wants?,” Smith expressed of Crockett’s critiques of the current head of state.
Oddly enough, he first praised Crockett on the episode. “I’m not calling her out because I don’t like her. I think Jasmine Crockett is an intelligent, accomplished woman,” he noted before mocking her. “‘I’m just gon’ go off about Trump, cuss him out every chance I get, say the most derogatory and incendiary things imaginable and that’s my day’s work.’ That ain’t work!”
Crockett has not responded to Smith’s statements directly.
