Jasmine Crockett Smears Melania Trump, Gets Debunked by the New York Times

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) just tried to score political points by attacking First Lady Melania Trump and ended up embarrassing herself with a claim even the New York Times debunked seven years ago.

During a recent immigration debate, Crockett mocked Melania’s 2001 EB-1 “Einstein” visa, implying that she lacked the qualifications for a visa reserved for individuals with “extraordinary ability.”

“Last time I checked, the First Lady had none of those accolades under her belt,” Crockett sneered. “It doesn’t take an Einstein to see that the math ain’t mathing here.”

What Crockett didn’t mention is that the New York Times hardly a right-wing outlet already confirmed in 2018 that Melania met the legal criteria for the EB-1.

  • The Times reported Melania satisfied at least three of ten required categories, including appearing in major publications like British GQ and Sports Illustrated.

  • The law does not require Nobel Prizes or Olympic medals a myth perpetuated by uninformed critics.

  • Even the Times’ immigration law sources admitted that models of lesser fame than Melania have earned EB-1 status.

As Chris Wright, a Los Angeles immigration lawyer, told the Times: “The notion that you somehow have to be a genius or Einstein is utter fiction.”

Ironically, legal experts cited in the same article said even Albert Einstein himself might have had difficulty getting this visa by today’s standards, due to its vague and subjective final evaluation process.

Crockett’s desperate attempt to turn immigration policy into a personal attack on the former First Lady didn’t just backfire it exposed the Democratic Party’s obsession with Trump family smears, no matter how unfounded.

Instead of focusing on border security, fentanyl trafficking, or foreign visa abuse by cartels, Crockett is wasting time dredging up old anti-Trump conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up under scrutiny and haven’t for years.

The real question is: why does the Left keep targeting Melania, a legal immigrant who actually followed the system? Maybe it’s because her success story undermines their narrative of victimhood and broken immigration.
