Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett called President Donald Trump a “wannabe Hitler” on Saturday during an MSNBC interview focused on the growing controversy over Jeffrey Epstein’s sealed grand jury files.
“They want to show that they’re loyal to this… wannabe Hitler, for sure,” Crockett said of Republicans on “Alex Witt Reports.”
“They want to pledge their loyalty to him, and they know that he does not want this released.” (RELATED: Karoline Leavitt Shreds Jasmine Crockett’s ‘Incredibly Derogatory’ Remark About Trump Supporters Being Mentally Ill)

Crockett’s remark follows a week of intense political infighting over the Justice Department’s memo suggesting Epstein died by suicide and did not keep a client list. The conclusion sparked fury among Trump’s base, prompting the president to initially lash out at his supporters as “weaklings” who “bought into this bulls—.”
Amid mounting pressure, Trump later called for the release of Epstein’s grand jury testimony — a move that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi carried out Thursday. But he soon dismissed the effort, insisting it wouldn’t be “good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request.”
Crockett accused Republicans of sticking with Trump out of fear. “If he’s trying to hide it, they understand that it is most likely problematic for him as well as the MAGA brand,” she said.
The Texas Democrat’s comments came just days after Trump took personal aim at her and “Squad” member New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, calling for both lawmakers to take IQ tests.
“AOC, look, I think she’s very nice. But she’s very low-IQ, and we really don’t need low-IQ,” Trump said last Tuesday on the White House lawn. “Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”
