Recent comments by Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) about what she characterized as the GOP’s hypocrisy around pro-life beliefs sent the hosts at the far-right outlet Newsmax into a spiral Monday, with the entire three-person panel lashing out at the Texas Democrat one after the other.
Appearing on MS NOW recently, Crockett condemned the Republican Party’s purported dedication to pro-life ideology, which she argued to be distorted due the GOP’s support for things like President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is poised to boot as many as 22.3 million Americans off of food assistance over ten years, which included millions of children.
“This is the party that says that they care so much about life until life actually shows up at their front door,” Crockett said in a recent appearance on MS Now.
“This is also the party that is supposedly about Christianity, and I just imagine what they would have done to a little baby Jesus, but that’s a whole other issue. It is really so heartbreaking, we know that under the prior Trump administration it was the children in cages.”
Newsmax aired a clip of Crockett’s comments, which in turn sent the conservative panel into a frenzy.
“Okay, a million things here, number one, who built the cages, Jasmine? It wasn’t Trump!” said Newsmax host Alex Kraemer. “I’m sorry, I’m disgusted, how dare you say what Republicans would do to Jesus! What in the world is she talking about?”
Newsmax host Alison Maloni jumped in on the dog pile, using her attack on the Texas Democrat to also promote Trump’s mass deportations.
“I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about, but the fact that she says Christians don’t care about life; you know what they care about?” Maloni posed. “They care about the children and the women who have been raped, murdered [and] beaten by people who are here illegally, they care about the safety of people on our streets, they care about American citizens.”
Newsmax host Marc Lotter joined in on the attack as well, calling Crockett a “joke” and condemning the entirety of the Democratic party.
“The Democrat Party is an anti-faith party of all things, and the only thing they like are illegal immigrants, handouts,” Lotter said, who previously served in Trump’s 2020 campaign.
“I’m not going to question Jasmine Crockett’s faith because that’s not my job to do that, but she’s a joke on everything else, and so why wouldn’t I not consider her take on Christianity to be nothing more than a joke?”
