"Crockett is testing out the coarser, insult-comedy-style attacks that the GOP has embraced under Trump, the general idea being that when the Republicans go low, the Democrats should meet them there. Is that where the rest of the party might be heading?"
"If someone on this committee then starts talking about somebody's bleach-blonde, bad-built, butch body, that would not be engaging in personalities, correct?"
Atlantic staff writer Elaine Godfrey was removed from a campaign rally in Texas hosted by Representative Jasmine Crockett, a Democratic candidate in a Senate primary. Godfrey, who has covered national politics for years, noted this was unusual as she is typically turned away at Trump rallies rather than Democratic events. Crockett is known for her confrontational style and combative approach to politics, employing insult-comedy-style attacks similar to those used by Republicans. Godfrey previously profiled Crockett for The Atlantic, during which Crockett attempted to prevent the story from being published. The incident raises questions about whether the Democratic Party may be adopting more aggressive, confrontational tactics in response to Republican strategies.
