(TJV NEWS) Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) made a controversial statement during a recent radio interview, suggesting that the Democratic Party is looking for the “safest white boy” to run for president in 2028.

Speaking on Urban View with Clay Cane and Reecie Colbert, Crockett addressed internal concerns within the party about nominating a woman, claiming past losses have made some Democrats fearful of doing so again.

“So there’s a lot of people that are like, you know what? Like, let’s go find the safest white boy we can find. I mean, I’m just saying,” she remarked.

She went on to say that major Democratic donors are already lining up behind a specific candidate—who, according to her, is “not a Black person nor a woman.”

Crockett then turned her attention to former President Donald Trump, calling him a “misogynist” and accusing him of stirring up sexism in the electorate.

While her comments have stirred backlash online, Trump’s approval rating has recently hit a post-inauguration high, according to Breitbart News.
