DEMOCRAT CHAOS: Crockett Jumps Into Colbert-Talarico Senate Drama as Left Eats Itself

The Democrat Party's internal warfare is heating up as Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) inserted herself into the growing controversy between late-night hack Stephen Colbert and Texas Senate candidate James Talarico. What started as a simple interview booking has exploded into a full-blown leftist meltdown that has patriots grabbing the popcorn.

Talarico, one of several Democrats desperately hoping to challenge Texas Republicans for a Senate seat, was reportedly scheduled to appear on Colbert's failing CBS show. But something went sideways behind the scenes, and now the Democrat machine is in damage control mode.

Crockett Throws Gasoline on the Fire

Never one to miss an opportunity for attention, Crockett couldn't resist jumping into the drama. The progressive firebrand's comments promise to turn this into a much bigger story than Democrats want, especially as they're already struggling to find viable candidates in deep-red Texas.

This is exactly what happens when the radical left tries to eat their own. Talarico represents the new generation of woke Democrats trying to push even further left, while establishment figures like Colbert suddenly find themselves not progressive enough for the base they helped create.

For Texas patriots, this Democrat infighting is a beautiful thing to watch. While Republicans under President Trump's leadership are focused on securing the border, bringing jobs back to America, and making our communities safer, Democrats are busy stabbing each other in the back over late-night TV appearances.

Texas Stays Red

The reality is that no Democrat – whether it's Talarico or any other radical leftist – has a prayer of winning statewide in Texas. Voters in the Lone Star State have seen what Democrat policies do to states like California and New York, and they want no part of it.

As this drama unfolds, one thing is crystal clear: the Democrat Party is fracturing from within. When your own allies are causing controversies before you even get on a failing late-night show, maybe it's time to reconsider your life choices.

Will this controversy sink Talarico's already doomed Senate bid, or will it just be another forgotten footnote in the Democrat Party's continued collapse? Either way, Texas Republicans are laughing all the way to another election victory.

While I'm no fan of the Democrats, this kind of infighting isn't good for Texas overall. We need a functional opposition party to keep everyone honest, even if I disagree with their policies.

Crockett jumping in just proves this is all about personal ambition, not serving the people of Texas.

I remember when my local Democrat party imploded over similar nonsense back in 2018. Same playbook - personal attacks, backstabbing, then they wonder why they can't win elections.

Finally! The mask is coming off and we're seeing what the Democrat party really is - a bunch of power-hungry politicians who will eat their own to get ahead. This infighting is exactly what happens when you have no real principles.

Couldn't agree more. They're so busy fighting each other they can't govern effectively.

This is what happens when your party is built on identity politics instead of actual policy. Eventually the coalition falls apart because there's no shared vision.

Can someone explain what exactly triggered this whole mess? I've been following Texas politics for years and this seems like it came out of nowhere.

From what I understand, it started over committee assignments and escalated into a full blown power struggle. Typical Democrat drama.
