Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) called Donald Trump an “old white nepo baby,” adding to her colorfully pointed terms for the president. (Watch the video below.)
On Saturday’s MSNBC show “The Weekend: Primetime,” Crockett assailed his “rogue administration” for trying to work around a court order to stop the deployment of troops to Portland, Oregon. One court said the relatively small protests didn’t warrant such a response.
The president and allies continue to demonize immigrants, the congresswoman noted.
“It is all of our problems because immigrants contribute to this country. Stop falling for the okey doke. Stop believing the lies that they are putting out there in the terrible racist tropes that they are constantly using to rile people up,” she said.
“It is time to recognize that while you thought the enemy was the immigrant, or you thought the enemy was the trans person, or you thought the enemy was the Black folk, or you thought the enemy were the women,” she continued. “When the reality is that the only person that is harming you right now, if you are struggling to make sure that you can pay your bills, if you’re struggling to feed your family, if you are struggling to find a job, if you are struggling to keep your business open, or if you are a farmer.”
She continued, “While we currently have record-level bankruptcies by farmers, it is not any of those people on the list. It is the old white nepo baby that is sitting in the White House that is causing all the destruction, pain and problems that you are enduring.”
Crockett’s broadside follows other sharp criticisms of the president featuring click-friendly put-downs as Trump repeatedly questions her intelligence.

She has called him a “wannabe Hitler,” mocked him without naming him and even straight up said he was a “white supremacist.”
Old White Nepo Baby might catch on. The acronym, OWNB(ee), is kinda catchy.
