Mere hours before Charlie Kirk’s memorial service, Republican commentator Scott Jennings unleashed on Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett for branding the late Turning Point USA founder a racist who “continuously targeted people of color.”
Crockett, who voted against a House resolution honoring Kirk’s life and condemning his assassination, lamented that more “caucasian” Democrats didn’t join the 58 “no” votes, calling it a “heartbreaking” failure to recognize the “harm” Kirk allegedly inflicted on communities of color.
Jennings, drawing from years of personal experience with Kirk, didn’t hold back. “Well, she’s lying,” he fired off, adding, “I mean, Charlie Kirk targeted nobody. He was not racist in any way.”
Scott Jennings just came out swinging in response to Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s vile comments about Charlie Kirk.

He said what no one else on CNN seems willing to admit…after the network gave her a platform to smear a man who hasn’t even been buried yet.@ScottJenningsKY then… pic.twitter.com/pKPUIZDjPX
He emphasized his deep familiarity with Kirk’s work: “I’ve listened to hours and hours and hours and hours of Charlie Kirk debates and talks and have been with Charlie Kirk and did events with Charlie Kirk and knew Charlie Kirk. There wasn’t a racist bone in his body.”
The timing made Crockett’s remarks especially galling to Jennings, who called them “nothing but a malicious smear, on the very day that people are remembering Charlie, and he’s going to be laid to rest.”
He tied it to broader Democratic hypocrisy, noting votes against the resolution and smears from figures like Rep. Ilhan Omar: “When I hear people say, we need to come together and both sides need to turn down the rhetoric, you know, a lot of the people saying that need to look inward right now.”
Kirk’ assassination has sparked fierce debates over political violence, with conservatives like Jennings pointing to left-wing rhetoric as a catalyst—echoing the suspect’s texts railing against Kirk’s “hatred.” On X, Jennings has amplified this narrative, compiling threads of online left-wing celebrations of Kirk’s death and warning against attempts to “both-sides” the tragedy.
Crockett doubled down during the interview, likening Kirk to a “Confederate relic” and again comparing President Trump to Hitler, even as host Dana Bash pressed her on her own inflammatory past statements.
The exchange highlights deepening partisan rifts, with Kirk’s widow, Erika, urging forgiveness in his memory amid the vitriol.

200,000 people in Arizona and millions all over the world honored Charlie Kirk’s memory with overwhelming love. Meanwhile, in DemocRATic Congress, you hear nothing but vile, vicious hate. You DemocRATs tried twice to get Trump and failed, you finally got Charlie, so who is next on your assassination list?
All of the hate and violence comes from the left.
The evidence mounts that no reconciliation with the Rancid Left is possible. The only viable strategy is how Reagan beat the Soviets: “We win, they lose”!
The little chocolate moron Crockett has a TDS filled blood clot for a brain. I cannot believe that my fellow Texans were so stupid as to elect this dumber than a dead tree stump racist low IQ jigaboo talking moron to Congress.
You can’t hate ratchets enough….. No matter how much you hate them already
Her stint in Congress is almost over for good.
