Fox News host Harris Faulkner resurfaced instances of Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas making comments that could be construed as calls for violence Monday.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a “Prove Me Wrong” event held by the conservative group for high school and college students at Utah Valley University Wednesday. Crockett had previously claimed during a Friday appearance on “The Breakfast Club” that her past comparison of President Donald Trump to German dictator Adolf Hitler did not amount to inciting violence.

“I’m glad she [Crockett] gave us a challenge,” Faulkner said to Lara Trump, the president’s daughter-in-law and fellow Fox News host appearing as a guest on “The Faulkner Focus.” “There are plenty of things that she has been saying. When you are calling someone Hitler, you are calling for violence.”

Trump survived two attempts on his life during the 2024 presidential campaign, one during a July 13, 2024 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the other on Sept. 15, 2024, while Trump was playing a round of golf in Florida.
Faulkner then played a montage of clips where Crockett called Trump the “Temu Hitler,” a reference to a bargain shopping app, while also saying Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas should be “knocked over the head, like, hard.”
“I mean, I have heard it before. That’s why there are instructions on the shampoo bottle is because of that woman, but that’s evil. That’s beyond stupid,” Faulkner said.
“Yeah. I’m also old enough to remember [Democratic California Rep.] Maxine Waters saying, if you see somebody from that administration at a gasoline station, get up in their faces, push back on them,” Lara Trump responded, referencing a viral clip of the congresswoman from 2018. “We have multiple incidents. Maybe we should send them to Jasmine Crockett so that she can take a look at all of those.”
Waters repeatedly urged protesters to confront Trump supporters and Trump administration officials during the president’s first term.
