Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing renewed scrutiny after an X user uncovered an old video showing her speaking in a markedly different manner than her current public persona.
The resurfaced footage has raised questions about whether Crockett’s shift in speaking style is a deliberate political strategy rather than an authentic reflection of her character.
In the recently surfaced video, Crockett’s tone, dialect, and delivery are noticeably different from her current speaking style in Congress.

The stark contrast has led to speculation that she may have adjusted her speech to appeal to specific voter demographics.
Crockett has built a reputation for making inflammatory remarks and engaging in performative politics, often adopting a dramatic and confrontational style.
Some critics argue that her speech pattern shift is an intentional political maneuver rather than an organic evolution.
Crockett recently made headlines for her remarks regarding U.S. foreign policy under President Donald Trump, displaying a lack of understanding of global affairs.
“I don’t even know why we fightin’ with Greenland. Why we fightin’ with Greenland? We fightin’ with Canada,” Crockett said.
“We fightin’ with Mexico. Yet we in love with Putin. What is happening? Like this is not America. This is a terrible nightmare. Somebody slap me and wake me the [expletive] up,” she added.
The comments quickly went viral, with social media users ridiculing her choice of words and tone.
One X user questioned her qualifications, writing, “How does someone like that get elected?”
Another added, “Texas, how tf did you vote this clown in?”
During the same exchange, Crockett launched a personal attack on President Trump, saying,
“I would tell him to grow a spine and stop being Putin’s ho.”
The remark drew sharp criticism from conservatives, including commentator Clay Travis, who posted,
“Jasmine Crockett, a congresswoman from Texas, calls Trump ‘Putin’s ho.’ Democrats are lost, y’all. I’ve never seen a party destroy itself like this.”
Many X users pointed out the irony of Crockett’s remarks, considering her drastic change in speech patterns. Some argued that her aggressive rhetoric was an act of desperation.
“They need to keep trotting her out there—bonus for Republicans!” one user joked.
Crockett recently weighed in on Trump’s record-high approval ratings, suggesting that the reason for his support is a lack of education among voters.
“My takeaway is just like the election, we’ve got to do better at education,” she said.
The comment sparked further criticism, with many pointing out the condescending tone and disconnect from working-class voters.
As scrutiny over her shifting persona and controversial remarks continues, Crockett remains a polarizing figure in Congress.
Whether her approach resonates with voters or backfires remains to be seen.
