Rep. Crockett insists 80% of extreme crimes are by 'white supremacists,' gets corrected

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is two for two in recent claims, getting publicly corrected on one topic and "community noted" on another.

The Post Millennial documented her insistence that all of those extreme crimes, or at least almost all, are done by "white supremacists."

Commenting on President Donald Trump's agenda to find and arrest – and deport – illegal alien criminals, she said, "And honestly, I don't know how else to describe this, other than evil. It's evil that is literally sitting in the highest seat in the world."

She said, "I know there's a lot of propaganda that's out there, but one of the things that I made clear is that it's not immigrants that are committing all the crimes. You can go out and find any random criminal of any race, I just want to be clear, but going out and finding one terrible situation and then taking a paintbrush and saying this applies to all of them is wrong. Let me make sure y'all got the facts, most extreme crimes that take place in this country are committed by white supremacists. 80% of extreme crimes are committed by white supremacists in this country. Do you know who went up there on January 6? White supremacists. This ain't me just telling you, you can Google this if you don't believe me, but it was the Oath Keepers. It was the Neo Nazis. It was the Proud Boys. They are all white supremacists."

The report noted, "Of the 7,964 arrests for murder or non-negligent manslaughter in 2019, the latest Crime in the United States report available by the FBI, 4,078, or 51%, were black suspects, while 3,650, or 47 percent, were white suspects. An additional 125 were American Indian or Alaska Native, 83 were Asian, and 28 were Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander."

She then gave her version of the facts regarding Wednesday night's midair collision between a passenger jet traveling from Wichita, Kan., to Washington, and its collision with a military helicopter, a tragedy that left all 67 people presumed dead.

Twitchy, citing Crockett's claim that President Trump froze hiring for air traffic controllers, explained, "What did Rep. Crockett know for sure? Something incorrect: Community Notes, do your stuff!"

Linked was an Office of Management and Budget memo that stated that exemptions to the hiring freeze included, "Positions related to immigration enforcement, national security, or public safety."
