There’s never a shortage of circus acts in Washington, but Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett just rolled out the big top with her latest stunt—publicly challenging President Trump to an IQ test. You read that right. The same woman who once called Texas Governor Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” now wants to go head-to-head in a brain battle with the 45th—and 47th—President of the United States.
Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Crockett was tossed a softball question about Trump’s comment calling her “low IQ.” With the sort of misplaced confidence we’ve come to expect, she shot back: “Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely,” when asked if she’d take a public IQ test with Trump. Somewhere, her staffers were probably furiously Googling “basic logic puzzles.”
Let’s not forget the context here. Trump’s original remarks came after Crockett’s classless swipe at Governor Abbott, mocking his disability by calling him “Hot Wheels”—a dig that even Democrats winced at. Crockett tried to spin it as a critique of Abbott’s migrant relocation policies, but no one’s buying that. Trump called it what it was: “a lie,” adding that Crockett is “a lowlife, and a very low IQ person.” He didn’t mince words. He never does.
Crockett, unfortunately, has become a rising star in today’s Democrat Party—not because of substance, but because of soundbites. She’s the poster child for the Left’s latest flavor-of-the-month strategy. According to The New York Times, this involves weaponized clapbacks and internet memes, all meant to sound edgy and “with it.” The problem? It looks like cheap performance politics to anyone outside the Twitter echo chamber.
Her viral moment came during a hearing, where she lashed out at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, mocking her appearance with the now-infamous “bleach blonde bad built butch body” jab. That gem got slapped on T-shirts and turned into a social media hit. Apparently, that’s all it takes to get booked on late-night comedy shows these days.
The reality is this: Crockett’s brand of politics might earn her applause from coastal elites and college TikTok activists, but it turns off regular Americans who are more concerned about inflation, crime, and the border than about which congressperson can land the next viral zinger.
An IQ showdown with Trump? Good luck. She might want to bring a calculator—and a dictionary.
