Crockett Decries President Trump's 'White Supremacy Agenda'

President Donald Trump’s (R) decision to freeze federal funding has ignited fierce criticism from Democrats who argue it disproportionately harms low-income and middle-class Americans. Speaking to her followers on an Instagram live, Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) decried the “white supremacy agenda.”

“This is a white supremacy agenda that was laid out in Project 2025,” Crockett stated during Instagram live.

“If you go back on YouTube and look at some of the clips of various members in committee asking people such as the guy that they’re trying to put over the OMB, he is somebody that I questioned for sure about this Project 2025 agenda because he is one of the authors of Project 2025," she continued. "I am trying to tell you that they don’t care about the middle class.”

The man in question is Russel Vought, the president's choice to head the White House budget office who also helped draft the controversial Project 2025.

In light of the decision, Rep. Crockett suggested that Democrats need to unite around the idea that they are working for the middle class, which she argues they didn't do in the 2024 election.

"Democrats need to stop saying that we didn’t have a middle-class agenda. No, our middle-class agenda has been taking care of people for a very long time, and Ima be clear, it’s not just a middle-class agenda, it is a poor folk agenda as well,” Crockett argued.  “The idea that people right now are struggling, not knowing whether or not Head Start will actually be available so that they can go out and work, and then the next thing we know, we know that the Republicans are gonna say, ‘You need to pick yourself up by your bootstraps,’ even though you can’t go to work, and you want to go to work.”

“We are headed for a full-on recession, and that is not me trying to be an alarmist. That is me trying to get you to pay attention.”
