Trump, Crockett Exchange Barbs Over Party Leadership

During a 'Meet the Press' interview, former President Donald Trump called Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett a 'low IQ person' and claimed the Democratic Party is in 'total disarray,' struggling to name other leaders besides Crockett and Bernie Sanders. He dismissed Sanders due to age and questioned the party's future leadership, while suggesting JD Vance and Marco Rubio as potential GOP leaders and voicing support for a strong two-party system. Crockett responded on social media, asserting Trump is 'terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth,' and publicly challenged him to an IQ test, a challenge she reiterated on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The exchange underscores ongoing tensions between Trump and rising Democrats, with Crockett leveraging the moment to reinforce her criticism of Trump and his policies. Crockett, who has also faced controversies, continues to push back against Republican attacks. The episode has drawn significant attention to the dynamics of party leadership and political rhetoric.
