Jasmine Crockett Slammed for Vulgar Rap Video Promoting Michigan Democrat

In yet another moment of political theater that leaves Americans wondering if anyone in Washington still takes public service seriously, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing widespread backlash after appearing in a bizarre and vulgar TikTok video endorsing Michigan Lt. Gov. Garlin Gilchrist’s run for governor.

The video, shot for TikTok and posted during a campaign event in Detroit, begins with Gilchrist lip-syncing to the 1993 ballad “What’s Up” by 4 Non Blondes while text flashes across the screen: “POV you’re about to elect Michigan’s first Black governor.” Seconds later, the camera flips to Crockett, who proceeds to channel rapper Nicki Minaj, dancing and mouthing lyrics like:

“Bites ain’t sh and they ain’t sayin’ nothin’, A hundred mothafu**ers can’t tell me nothin’…”

Yes, a sitting member of Congress performed this on camera as part of a gubernatorial endorsement.

The reaction has been swift and brutal:

• “Idiocracy was a documentary,” quipped NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino.

• Robby Starbuck asked, “Can you imagine our founders watching this…”

• Radio host Justin Barclay said bluntly, “If one were seriously running for governor in Michigan, Jasmine Crockett wouldn’t be on your list to work with.”

Newsmax contributor David Harris Jr. noted the absurdity of it all, paraphrasing Gilchrist’s message as: “Take it from Jasmine Crockett, Trump can’t tell me nothin’.” This was apparently supposed to rally voters.

What it did instead was make a mockery of both the office Crockett holds and the campaign Gilchrist is running. It also reinforced growing concerns that the modern Democratic Party is more interested in viral gimmicks and social media stunts than actual leadership.

Here’s what voters are asking:

• Why is a member of Congress rapping vulgar lyrics on TikTok instead of solving real problems?

• Is this the type of judgment we want behind legislation and executive power in Michigan?

• Why does this feel more like a frat party than a political campaign?

Let’s not forget: Garlin Gilchrist isn’t some fringe candidate he’s the sitting lieutenant governor of Michigan and one of the top contenders to replace Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. He’s already endorsed by far-left Rep. Rashida Tlaib and was recently the first Democrat in the field to declare the situation in Gaza a “genocide,” aligning himself with the radical anti-Israel wing of the party.

Now he’s appearing in profane TikToks with Crockett, whose primary contribution to national politics seems to be viral temper tantrums and shouting matches in House hearings.

This video didn’t project strength. It projected unseriousness. And it underscores the growing cultural divide between the political elites in leftist circles and everyday Americans who just want leaders with maturity, focus, and basic decency.
