In a stunning display of backwards thinking, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) told viewers on MSNBC's "The Weeknight" Friday that "real patriotism means to push back against" President Donald Trump's immigration policies. The comments came as Trump's mass deportation operation enters its second week, removing thousands of illegal aliens from American communities.
Crockett's bizarre interpretation of patriotism flies in the face of what most Americans understand the term to mean. Real patriots support enforcing our laws, protecting our borders, and putting American citizens first – not coddling foreign nationals who broke our immigration laws to get here.
The Texas Democrat's comments sparked immediate backlash on social media, with patriots calling out her twisted logic. One user on X pointed out the absurdity, writing "Another mentally ill Democrat makes a wish instead of a solid factual decision!"
"No way this fake ghetto queen isn't a thief inside the Democrat Machine," another social media user fired back, tagging FBI Director Kash Patel in frustration over Democrats' continued obstruction of immigration enforcement.
This is the same warped mindset that got America into this mess in the first place. For four years under Biden, Democrats redefined "compassion" to mean allowing millions of unvetted foreigners to pour across our borders, overwhelming our schools, hospitals, and communities. Now they're trying to redefine "patriotism" to mean opposing the very policies that will restore order and security.
President Trump was elected with a clear mandate to clean up the immigration disaster left by the previous administration. His deportation operations are removing gang members, criminals, and those who have repeatedly violated our immigration laws. How exactly is opposing these common-sense measures "patriotic"?
The answer is simple: it's not. Real patriotism means putting America and Americans first, securing our borders, and enforcing our laws equally. Crockett and her fellow Democrats can twist words all they want, but the American people see right through their games. We voted for deportations, and we're getting them – whether radical Democrats like it or not.
