Crockett’s SHOCKING Party Betrayal

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, long a fierce critic of conservatives, now turns on her own Democratic Party, accusing the left of racism in a stunning display of internal leftist hypocrisy that delights patriots watching the chaos unfold.

Story Highlights

Crockett blasts “the left” for darkening her skin tone in attack ads during her Texas Senate Democratic primary, exposing racial tensions among Democrats.
Rival James Talarico faces accusations of calling Colin Allred a “mediocre Black man,” igniting a firestorm just weeks before early voting.
Stephen Colbert’s interview with Talarico sparks FCC complaints and claims of censorship, boosting Talarico’s fundraising to $2.5 million.
Crockett positions herself as victim of “well-intentioned white folk,” contrasting her past attacks on the right and highlighting Democratic infighting.

Primary Controversy Erupts in Texas Senate Race

James Talarico, Texas state representative, faces allegations from a TikTok video surfacing in early February 2026. The video claims Talarico described former Rep. Colin Allred as a “mediocre Black man” in a private January conversation, while praising Crockett as a “formidable, intelligent Black woman.” Talarico denies racial intent on Monday, insisting he critiqued Allred’s campaigning style. Allred endorses Crockett and warns against tearing down Black men to compliment Black women. This clash divides Democrats as Texas shifts rightward after President Trump’s 14-point victory.

Crockett Escalates Accusations Against the Left

On February 20, 2026, Crockett publicly condemned the left for racially tinged attacks during a fundraising push. She disputed Talarico’s denial, targeting “well-intentioned white folk” and claiming opponents darkened her skin in ads—a tactic she says she expects from the right but not her party. Crockett spoke to media on February 18 after a deposition, framing the disputes as unexpected from left-leaning sources. This pivot amuses observers, given her history of accusing conservatives of racism while defending Democratic policies.

Colbert Interview Fuels Media Firestorm

Stephen Colbert hosted Talarico on February 16, 2026, posting the interview online after FCC equal-time concerns blocked broadcast. The clip garnered 8 million YouTube views, surging Talarico’s fundraising. Crockett confirmed no Colbert invitation before or after. FCC Chair Brendan Carr labeled it a “hoax” for clicks and money. CBS denied censorship claims from Colbert. Talarico, polling at just 13% Black voter support, appeals to white liberals, while Crockett rallies her base amid redistricting wins blocking maps targeting minority districts.

Black History Month timing amplifies Crockett’s narrative of affronts from within. Precedents include her 2025 CNN “white tears” DEI comments and SNL apologies for electability jabs deemed racist. TikTok influencers drive the “mediocre” claim from an unrecorded talk, polarizing voters.

Implications for Democrats in Red-State Primary

The feud polarizes Black Texans, key to turnout, boosting Crockett short-term but exposing Democratic racial fractures long-term. Talarico’s gains may suppress overall participation in the high-stakes primary rematch post-2024 losses. Viral clips dominate discourse, reviving DEI debates amid Trump-era shifts. Economic spikes hit ad spending and fundraising, while TikTok emerges as a battleground. Critics question Crockett’s electability in general election, echoing past media doubts. This infighting undermines leftist unity conservatives cheer.
