Rep. Jasmine Crockett Suggests ‘Slave Mentality’ Drove Hispanic Voters To Support Trump

Rep. Jasmine Crockett is reflecting on why more Hispanic voters have been supporting President-elect Donald Trump.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Crockett suggested that many Hispanic voters have a distorted view of Trump’s stance on immigration and mass deportation, stating:

“I’ve not run into that with the Asian community. I’ve not run into that with the African community. I’ve not run into that with the Caribbean community. I’ve only run into it with Hispanics. When they think of ‘illegals,’ they think of, you know, maybe people that came out of the cartels and that kind of, like, the criminal-type book or whatever. It’s insane.”

She continued:

“It almost reminds me of what people would talk about when they would talk about kind of like ‘slave mentality’ and the hate that some slaves would have for themselves… It’s almost like a slave mentality that they have. It is wild to me when I hear how anti-immigrant they are as immigrants, many of them. I’m talking about people that literally just got here and can barely vote, that are having this kind of attitude.”

Reports state that in the 2024 election, Trump saw a significant increase in support among Latino voters. Polls show he secured 46% of the Latino vote, marking a 14-point shift from 2020 and the largest share since polling began in 1976.
