In a jaw-dropping MSNBC interview on Sunday, March 2, far-left Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) unleashed a barrage of baseless attacks on former President Donald Trump, accusing him of being an “enemy to the United States” for advocating peace and questioning the current administration’s approach to global conflicts. This latest rant from Crockett illustrates just how far some Democrats are willing to go to paint Trump as a villain—especially when his desire for peace in Ukraine disrupts their endless pursuit of war and interventionism.
The comments came just days after a tense meeting between Ukrainian President Zelensky, President Trump, and Vice President Vance on February 28. The session quickly soured, with Zelensky angrily shouting at both Trump and Vance before being ejected from the White House. Following the debacle, Trump made the bold decision to halt American aid to Ukraine, a move that Crockett and her far-left colleagues quickly condemned, sparking her wild rant on MSNBC.
Crockett, in a desperate attempt to defend the Biden administration’s failed Ukraine policy, accused Trump of lying about the war’s origins. “We’re talking about Ukraine, a country that was invaded first,” she stated, while disregarding the growing concern that Biden’s handling of the war, coupled with the ongoing open-ended support for Ukraine, could drag America into a larger conflict. Crockett then moved on to the unsubstantiated claim that Trump was “Putin’s puppet”—a tired talking point rooted in the long-debunked Russia Hoax. “We kept saying that Trump was nothing but Putin’s puppet,” Crockett continued, seemingly ignoring the fact that Trump’s policies were far tougher on Russia than any of his predecessors, including military aid to Ukraine before Biden took office.
But the real shocker came when Crockett labeled Trump “an enemy of the United States” simply because of his push for peace. According to the Texas Democrat, Trump’s stance on de-escalating tensions was somehow a betrayal of the American people. “Unfortunately, we have someone that is occupying the White House, and as far as I’m concerned, he is an enemy to the United States,” Crockett said, despite the fact that Trump’s non-interventionist approach sought to reduce the risk of global conflict and avoid World War III. It’s hard to imagine a more misguided take on foreign policy than this—advocating for peace now makes you a traitor?
The interview went off the rails further when Crockett inexplicably suggested that Trump’s desire for a peaceful resolution with Russia and his focus on American interests was somehow tied to a plot to become a dictator. “Because you want to convince your followers that you should be a dictator too,” she claimed, echoing the left’s tired accusations that Trump wanted to hold onto power indefinitely. She failed to offer any proof for these outlandish claims, instead focusing on a narrative meant to distract from the Biden administration’s disastrous handling of both foreign and domestic affairs.
In one of the most bizarre segments of the interview, Crockett also hinted at a conspiracy theory about Trump weakening national security and allegedly handing over oversight of America’s nuclear stockpile to tech mogul Elon Musk. Despite no evidence to support her wild accusations, Crockett boldly claimed that Trump and Musk were dismantling “checks and balances” to further their supposed authoritarian ambitions.
These fringe claims by Crockett underscore the desperation of the left to discredit Trump and his supporters. As they continue to push their radical agendas, they label anyone who dares to disagree as un-American. The truth is that Trump’s vision of peace and national security—focused on protecting America’s interests—could not be more at odds with the left’s dangerous, interventionist policies. Sadly, the Democrats’ reckless approach to global politics seems hell-bent on dragging America into endless wars while maligning any attempt at peace as treasonous. It’s clear who the real enemies of peace are.
