BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett Torches Texas Governor Greg Abbott in Escalating Feud—Says He “Deals More Death Than Life” to His Constituents
In a searing and unfiltered rebuke, Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett delivered her most scathing remarks yet toward Texas Governor Greg Abbott, accusing him of leading with deadly negligence and failing the people he was elected to protect. The remarks come as their political feud intensifies amid a broader battle for the future of Texas—and perhaps American democracy itself.
During a recent interview, a reporter asked Crockett what she would say if given the chance to speak directly to Governor Abbott. Her response was as cutting as it was unapologetic:
“I would have some choice words,” she replied with a laugh. “Me and Greg are not friends. On his watch, we’ve had Uvalde. On his watch, we’ve had El Paso. On his watch, we’ve had the Guadalupe flood and kill people.”
Her words weren’t just rhetoric—they were backed by chilling statistics.
A Deadly Record Under Abbott’s Watch
The tragedies referenced by Crockett are among the deadliest in modern Texas history. The Uvalde mass shooting in 2022 left 22 people dead, many of them schoolchildren. Just a few years earlier, 23 were killed and 22 injured in a racially motivated mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso. Both incidents reignited national debates on gun control—but in Texas, they were followed by even looser firearm laws.
Then came the Guadalupe River flooding—an environmental catastrophe that has, to date, claimed at least 134 lives, with over 100 still missing. According to watchdog reports, the disaster was preventable. A $54 billion backlog in flood prevention and infrastructure projects sat untouched, while Abbott’s administration prioritized slashing property taxes by $51 billion.
To Crockett, the pattern is obvious—and damning.
“Consistently, he seems to be a governor that deals more death than life to his constituents,” she said. “And so it’s time for him to come to the realization that he may be in over his head.”
Gerrymandering and the Fight for Representation
The Crockett–Abbott clash isn’t only about past failures—it’s also about the future of political representation in Texas. Crockett has been one of the most vocal opponents of Abbott’s support for redistricting efforts aimed at suppressing minority votes.
Under pressure from former President Donald Trump and MAGA loyalists, Abbott and the Republican-controlled legislature are reportedly preparing a special session to redraw electoral districts—many of them currently held by Democrats representing Hispanic and Black communities.
Critics have called it a modern-day gerrymander designed to shift political power by erasing minority voices.
“It’s a direct attack on democracy,” Crockett declared in a previous statement. “And I’m not going to sit quietly while they steal the voices of my constituents.”
A Rising Democratic Star
Jasmine Crockett, a civil rights attorney and freshman Congresswoman representing Texas’ 30th district, has quickly risen through the ranks as a fearless advocate for justice, transparency, and progressive reform. Her unapologetic tone and deep connection to underrepresented communities have made her a rising star in the Democratic Party—and a top target for conservative backlash.
But Crockett appears undeterred.
In a political landscape often dominated by cautious talking points, she has carved out a space by saying what others only dare whisper.
And Texans—particularly those devastated by Abbott’s policies—are listening.
The Stakes Couldn’t Be Higher
The showdown between Crockett and Abbott is not just personal. It’s not even just political. It’s existential—for Texas, and for the broader American experiment. As climate disasters worsen, gun violence persists, and voting rights hang by a thread, leaders like Crockett are framing the fight as one between life and death, truth and power, democracy and autocracy.
In that framework, Crockett’s charge is clear:
“We need leaders who protect people, not endanger them. Who elevate communities, not erase them. And I’m here to make sure Texas remembers that before it’s too late.”
With a potential 2026 gubernatorial run being quietly floated among insiders, it may not be long before this feud becomes a full-blown campaign.
One thing is clear: Jasmine Crockett isn’t backing down. And Greg Abbott isn’t ready for what’s coming next.
