Rep. Jasmine Crockett launched her Texas Senate campaign with an ad featuring clips of President Donald Trump insulting her. The article reports praise from liberal commentators and mockery from conservative critics, alongside Crockett’s remarks at a campaign event.
Crockett announced her Senate campaign in a video posted Monday that used audio of Trump’s past remarks about her.
