In a shocking display of opposition to America First trade policies, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) openly rooted for Mexico and Canada in their economic dispute with President Donald Trump, even as his administration works to protect U.S. industries and combat unfair trade practices.
During an interview on The Breakfast Club, Crockett took aim at Trump’s newly imposed tariffs, praising Mexico and Canada for their resistance. She went as far as to call the administration a “crazy regime from Mar-a-Lago”, while claiming that the two foreign governments are “speaking truth to power.”
Her remarks come after Trump enacted a 25% tariff on Mexican and Canadian imports, along with a 10% tariff on Chinese goods, in response to these nations failing to meet their obligations on illegal immigration and the flow of illicit drugs into the U.S. Rather than acknowledging these national security concerns, Crockett chose to side with foreign governments over her own country’s leadership.
In retaliation, Mexico and Canada announced their own tariffs on U.S. goods, with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticizing Trump’s move as divisive. Meanwhile, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected Trump’s pressure to take stronger action against the drug cartels wreaking havoc at the U.S. border.
Crockett’s comments highlight a growing divide between Democrats who prioritize globalist policies and Republicans focused on protecting American workers and national security. Instead of standing with American industries and border security efforts, Crockett is publicly cheering for foreign governments working against the U.S.—a move that raises serious questions about where her loyalties lie.
This latest episode further underscores why Trump remains the dominant leader in reshaping trade and immigration policy, despite opposition from Democrats more concerned with appeasing foreign interests than standing up for the American people.
Democrat Jasmine Crockett: “I’m rooting for Canada and I’m rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild, but they are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now.”
What’s your response to her?
