The attack on our National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. on Thanksgiving Eve served as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by those who serve our nation. As families mourned and America processed the loss of West Virginia National Guard Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and the critical wounding of her colleague, Americans looked to their leaders for words of comfort and calls for justice.
Instead, some politicians saw an opportunity to push divisive rhetoric that tears at the very fabric of our society. In the wake of an attack allegedly committed by an Afghan national, one congresswoman’s response wasn’t to honor the fallen or support law enforcement efforts—it was to suggest deporting American citizens based on their perceived political beliefs. (Yes, you read that right.)
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“Now you want to go against every single immigrant. That doesn’t make sense,” she said. “And it’s frankly not who we are because if that’s the case, let’s talk about the white supremacists and how many of them need to be kicked out of this country.”
“I can guarantee you, I can track down more crimes that they’ve committed because overall, immigrants have a lower, um, crime committal rate than white supremacists, but we don’t wanna talk about that in this country,” Crockett added.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “If that’s the case, let’s talk about the white supremacists and how many of them need to be kicked out of this country…”

Representative Jasmine Crockett’s suggestion that America should deport “white supremacists” instead of addressing illegal immigration represents a new low in political discourse. While a soldier who chose to stay in D.C. to “make a difference” lay dead, Crockett twisted the tragedy into an attack on American citizens she disagrees with politically. The sheer audacity is breathtaking.
A Pattern of Reckless Rhetoric
This isn’t Crockett’s first venture into inflammatory and factually questionable territory. She previously argued that “committing a crime doesn’t make someone a criminal,” claiming it’s about “mindset” rather than actions. (Let that marinate for a second.) She’s also refused to retract false accusations against EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, despite her staff’s “research” consisting of a cursory Google search. A Google search. That’s the congressional standard we’re working with here.
Her latest claims about crime statistics are equally divorced from reality. FBI data shows her assertions about “white supremacist” crime rates are demonstrably false. When you examine actual crime statistics—including the classification issues where Middle Eastern suspects are often recorded as “white”—her narrative completely collapses. One social media user found data showing 22 murders by Islamic extremists and Democrats versus one by a white supremacist this year. But hey, why let facts interfere with a good soundbite?
Here’s where it gets worse: Crockett completely misrepresented Specialist Beckstrom’s service. According to those who knew her, Beckstrom was “happy” to be serving in D.C. and had even chosen to stay when offered the chance to return home early. She wanted to make a difference—a noble calling that Crockett dishonors with her divisive grandstanding.
The congresswoman’s suggestion reveals a troubling worldview where political opponents are deemed less worthy of citizenship than people who enter the country illegally. Think about that. An elected official believes American citizens she labels as “white supremacists” (a term that’s lost all meaning in her hands) deserve deportation more than actual law-breakers. It’s a perspective that fundamentally misunderstands American values and constitutional rights. No government official should ever suggest stripping citizenship from Americans based on their beliefs, no matter how objectionable those beliefs might be.
Look, America faces real security challenges every single day. We’re mourning real heroes who died protecting us. What we need are leaders with backbones, not politicians hunting for viral moments on cable news. Crockett’s inflammatory rhetoric doesn’t just poison political discourse—it dishonors those who serve and undermines the unity we desperately need to address our challenges. America deserves better than politicians who exploit tragedy for soundbites while actively working to divide us. Much better.
Key Takeaways
- Rep. Crockett suggested deporting American “white supremacists” instead of illegal immigrants after guardsman’s death
- She misrepresented fallen soldier’s dedication while pushing divisive rhetoric
- FBI crime data completely contradicts her claims about crime rates
- Politicians exploiting tragedies for soundbites dishonor those who serve
