Jasmine Crockett opened her Senate campaign with an ad using recordings of President Trump repeatedly insulting her intelligence. Twitchy ridicules the ad and argues it could hurt her campaign.
Jasmine Crockett began her Texas Senate campaign with a video featuring President Trump repeatedly calling her “low IQ,” and she posted the ad on X. The article mocks the campaign’s choice to use Trump’s comments and argues the approach may not work for her.
