![CROCK OF... Texas Rep Launches Foul-Mouthed Attack on President Trump, Calls on Dems to 'Get Aggressive' [WATCH]](https://teamredvictory.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/CROCK-OF-Texas-Rep-Launches-Foul-Mouthed-Attack-on-President-Trump.jpg)
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) faced backlash Monday after a podcast clip surfaced of her claiming local law enforcement’s role is to “solve crime” rather than prevent it.
“I want to be clear that, like, law enforcement isn’t to prevent crime. Law enforcement solves crime, OK? That is what they are supposed to do,” Crockett said during last week’s episode of the Grounded podcast. “They are supposed to solve crimes, not necessarily prevent them from happening per se.”
The video quickly went viral, with critics seizing on the remarks.
Crockett — one of the party’s most outspoken progressives — made the comments while blasting President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, ICE, and other federal agencies to crack down on crime in Washington, D.C.
“I think it has been terrible,” she said. “How is it that we have a government that is hostile towards its people? … We are in the midst of a hostile government takeover, and it is our government that is bringing the hostility.”
Crockett argued federal agencies are not trained for what Trump is using them for, before adding her controversial point on policing.
The Texas Democrat was blasted online for her comments.
“WTF?! Jasmine Crockett: ‘Law enforcement isn’t to PREVENT crime! Law enforcement solves crime, okay? That is what they are supposed to do.’ Just when I thought Democrats couldn’t get any dumber, JASMINE CROCKETT opens her mouth again.”

Law enforcement officer and consultant Deon Joseph responded to Crockett’s claim.
“Jasmine Crockett is wrong. It is our job to prevent crime. We just need more support. I didn’t sign up to just wait for people to be victimized,” he wrote on X, in addition to sharing a video response.
