It's almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them.

"I don't believe that the people that voted for Trump believe in what they're actually getting. That is number one. What Trump said is that he was going to kick out the bad guys. And thats what I was talking about, Crockett said. She continued: I am talking about exactly what was going on when I was down there on behalf of the Beto [O'Rourke] campaign."
Jake Tapper questioned Rep. Jasmine Crockett about a December 2024 quote comparing some Latino Trump voters to a "slave mentality." Crockett said she did not mean every Latino and pushed back on the framing. Tapper noted roughly one million Latino voters in Texas supported Trump. Crockett said she believes some voters do not understand what they are getting from Trump and referenced his promise to "kick out the bad guys." Crockett said her comments came from conversations while campaigning for Beto O'Rourke and from engaging directly with Latino communities in Texas.
