Watching Jasmine Crockett sob publicly while trying to smear political opponents is a spectacle Americans should be alarmed by, not comforted by. There is a difference between legitimate grief and performative theater designed to score partisan points, and Crockett’s performance crossed that line into something both insincere and dangerous. Hardworking citizens deserve leadership that seeks truth, not theatrics that stoke division.
The incident that sparked Crockett’s remarks—an ICE operation in Minneapolis in which Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot—has already ignited nationwide protests and a furious media debate about law enforcement protocols and the use of force. Video and reporting show the encounter was chaotic and has raised serious questions about whether the shooting was justified, prompting demands for thorough investigations.
But let’s be clear about what Crockett actually said while pivoting to that tragedy: she invoked Charlie Kirk’s murder and suggested Republicans treated that death with a troubling lack of humanity. Her line, “I remember when Charlie Kirk got killed,” was delivered with dramatic effect and immediately weaponized by media allies to rewrite the narrative and excuse political violence. Americans should reject any politician who casually uses a real man’s death as a cudgel to score ratings.
Charlie Kirk’s assassination was a real and shocking crime that rocked the nation, and federal authorities have been working to hold the suspect accountable amid evidence of politically charged messaging left at the scene. This is not a moment for partisan poker-faced amnesia; it is a moment for sober, unwavering condemnation of violence against anyone for their beliefs. Conservatives mourned Kirk and demanded justice, and that same standard must apply across the board.
Yet Crockett doubled down elsewhere by minimizing how inflammatory rhetoric can create a climate where violence becomes more likely, insisting that name-calling like “wannabe Hitler” bears no responsibility for radicalization. That excuse is weak and dangerous—words matter and leaders should be held to a higher standard than late-night internet activists. When elected officials refuse to acknowledge how fevered rhetoric can lead to real-world harm, they abdicate responsibility for the safety of citizens.
The backlash to all this has exposed a broader rot: on the left, too many in media and institutions reflexively defend their own and punish dissenters, even as some educators and public employees faced probes for celebratory or threatening comments about Kirk’s death. This is not about silencing pain or critique, it’s about refusing hypocrisy—if violence is wrong, it’s wrong whether it targets conservatives or anyone else. The country cannot survive double standards applied to human life.
Conservative patriots should demand more than crocodile tears and political theater from leaders on the left. We should insist on a full, transparent inquiry into the ICE shooting, equal condemnation for the murder of Charlie Kirk, and accountability for any public figures who recklessly inflame passions. If America is to remain a free and decent republic, we must reclaim moral clarity and stop letting partisan performance replace genuine leadership.
