Crockett Rebukes President Trump's 100 Days in Office

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) took to the House floor this week to rebuke President Donald Trump's (R) 100 days in office. While Republicans have celebrated the beginning of President Trump's second term, Rep. Crockett and Democrats have called it a threat to the Black community.

The Texas Democrat commented that in the first 100 days of President Trump's second term, Americans have had to "unfortunately endure a lot of pain." Instead of contributing positive policies for the country, Rep. Crockett argues that President Trump has wasted his time "cosplaying as the next pope."

Rep. Crockett accused the Trump administration of deliberately dismantling protections and undermining equity efforts, calling the administration “hellbent on dismantling the very systems designed to protect the most vulnerable amongst us.”

“This administration clearly is not ready to lead,” Rep. Crockett argued. “They are only here to tear down. And, for Black Americans – those of us who’ve always carried the weight of a broken system and bad policies – the danger is real, is tangible, and it is urgent.”

She pointed to several policy reversals made since President Trump’s return to the oval office, including the Department of Education’s withdrawal of guidance supporting inclusive Black history education. Instead, she said, the administration is pushing a “patriotic education” agenda that “skips over slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, and systemic racism.”

She similarly criticized President Trump’s executive order reinstating “common sense discipline” in schools, which she argued reverses progress in addressing racial disparities in student punishment.

“Make no mistake, these decisions have a direct impact on Black children. Children who deserve a fair shot to learn in safe and supportive environments,” she expressed.

As part of the president's first 100 days in office, he signed an executive order to promote excellence and innovation at historically black colleges and universities.

The initiative looks to “elevate the value and impact of our nation’s HBCUs as beacons of educational excellence and economic opportunity that serve as some of the best cultivators of tomorrow’s leaders in business, government, academia, and the military.”
