It was “Roast Night at the White House” as President Trump unleashed his latest zinger, calling Texas congresswoman Jasmine Crockett “low IQ” during a heated Oval Office announcement that sent social media into overdrive. MAGA supporters cheered the jab, flooding X and Truth Social with memes and fiery hashtags, while Crockett fired back on national television, turning the smackdown into a viral showdown that’s now dominating headlines coast to coast.

The drama began when President Trump, fresh off announcing the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, took a direct shot at Crockett, one of his most vocal critics. The president didn’t stop there—he signaled plans to go after Democratic donor George Soros and other party members, turning his press conference into a political battle cry that electrified his base.

Within minutes, Trump’s “low IQ” comment was trending, with supporters calling it “classic Trump truth-telling” and sharing memes of Crockett alongside Trump’s most famous put-downs. Conservative commentators praised Trump for “calling out the opposition,” while MAGA influencers declared it a “win for free speech.”

But Rep. Jasmine Crockett wasn’t about to let the insult slide. Appearing live on MSNBC, she delivered her own scorching rebuttal:
“When you stand up to a bully, you win. Do not back down. Do not bend. You allow them to go and wage their threats.”

Crockett urged Americans not to give in to intimidation, warning that democracy itself is at risk if people allow threats and insults to silence dissent. She accused Trump of trying to weaken democratic institutions, and cautioned that some of his supporters seem eager to follow his lead.

The Texas Democrat didn’t stop there. She turned her sights on Trump’s administration, claiming officials routinely ignore or misuse the law. Crockett singled out Attorney General Pam Bondi, who’s faced backlash for controversial statements about prosecuting hate speech and her involvement in the Comey indictment.
Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia quickly backed Crockett, slamming Bondi’s handling of the case as a “political hatchet job” and predicting that the courts would see through the administration’s tactics.

Crockett remained defiant about Comey’s legal prospects, insisting he has strong ground to fight the charges. “If [Trump] decides that he wants to continue down this path, I think that they’re going to continue to lose,” she said, adding that Comey is unlikely to accept a plea deal and will battle the case to the end.

As the feud escalates, the showdown has become a rallying point for both sides—Trump loyalists celebrating the president’s no-holds-barred style, and Crockett’s supporters mobilizing against what they see as bullying and threats to democracy. With the country watching, this spicy exchange is more than just a headline; it’s the latest flashpoint in America’s ever-intensifying political drama.
