Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett has insisted that committing a crime does not make you a criminal.
In an interview with the Netflix star Jonathan Van Ness, Crockett began by explaining that her entire left-wing worldview has been shaped by her time working in the criminal justice system.

“It’s just understanding what ends up having people become criminally impacted really informs so much of what I do legislatively, right?” Crockett continued.
“So, when people are like, ‘Oh, you know, crime is terrible.’ And, yes, it is. Because when somebody goes out and commits a crime, they don’t typically say, ‘Well, I’m a D, I’m a R, I’m a I.
“It’s not like, literally like, it’s about, how do you fix it? How do you make communities safer?”
Crockett went on to argue that being a criminal is actually about one’s “mindset” rather than any crimes they have committed.
“And, so, I do want people to know that just because someone has committed a crime, it doesn’t make them a criminal,” she explained. “That is completely different.
”Being a criminal is more so about your mindset. Committing a crime can come from a lot of different reasons,” she continued.

Over the past year, Crockett has become notorious for her vulgar language, shocking ignorance, and deliberately provocative remarks — especially when discussing President Trump or the wider conservative movement.
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Crockett downplayed the murder of Kayla Hamilton, a 20-year-old autistic woman who was raped and killed by an MS-13 gang member in 2022.
After pledging to vote against legislation named in Hamilton’s honor and designed to crack down on gang violence, Crockett accused Republicans of simply throwing a “random dead person’s name on something.”
