Jasmine Crockett walks back claim Hispanic Trump voters have 'slave mentality'

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, denied believing that Hispanic Trump voters had a "slave mentality" when asked about her past claims on Tuesday.

CNN's Jake Tapper reminded the Texas Senate candidate of comments she made to Vanity Fair in 2024, when she compared Latinos who voted for President Donald Trump to slaves who would "hate" themselves.

"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," she said.
