A viral clip over the weekend captured liberal radio host Stephanie Miller bending down and planting a kiss on Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s sneakers — then proudly posting photos of the stunt to social media and crowing that she “worships the ground” Crockett walks on. The footage, shared widely across X and other platforms, left millions cringing and asking how a grown woman thought this public display would earn her credibility.
This isn’t allyship, it’s spectacle — a performative display of white guilt dressed up as devotion. Conservatives have watched for years as a culture of idolization grows on the left, where applause and theatrical submission replace real policy scrutiny and common-sense accountability. The image of a mainstream media figure literally groveling at the feet of a rising politician says more about the left’s celebrity worship than it does about public service.
The episode reportedly unfolded at an event celebrating California’s passage of Proposition 50, and the photos and videos quickly sparked mockery and outrage online. What should have been a short, forgettable moment instead became Exhibit A for critics who say Democrats substitute pageantry for substance.
Make no mistake: Jasmine Crockett has been elevated by the media to a national stage, and she is openly weighing a Senate bid, which helps explain why this embarrassing adulation landed with such an impact. When pundits and hosts start performing ritual obeisance for a politician still learning the ropes in Washington, it reveals a disturbing willingness to turn public servants into untouchable idols rather than hold them accountable.
This is the dangerous dance of fake activism — a polished PR performance that substitutes virtue signaling for governing. Instead of asking Crockett tough questions about policy or record, an entire media ecosystem seems content to kneel and cheer, producing a feedback loop where spectacle is rewarded and seriousness is punished. Americans deserve representatives who serve their districts, not cult-like followings that mistake theatrics for leadership.
Worse, we live in an era where video can be manipulated and reality can be blurred by AI, making it easier for the left’s theater to be amplified or, worse, fabricated for maximum outrage. Voters should be skeptical of what they see online and demand verification, but they should also be skeptical of the media narratives that elevate showmanship over substance. The rise of generative video technology only makes that media literacy more urgent for every citizen.
At the end of the day this stunt should embarrass everyone involved — the host who performed it, the politicians who laughed it off, and the outlets that tried to spin it into “empowerment.” Conservatives will keep calling for standards, accountability, and a return to a politics that prizes competence over cult. If Democrats want to be taken seriously in 2026 and beyond, they’ll need to stop kneeling for clicks and start answering hard questions on policy and performance.
