YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Smear Campaign Started Instantly. Jasmine Crockett Was the Target. The Truth Comes Out.
Within hours of her announcement, the attacks began. What followed wasn’t random backlash—it was a rapid, coordinated effort to define Jasmine Crockett before voters could hear her case.
The day after Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett entered the Texas Senate race, a wave of attacks hit with unusual speed and intensity. Panelists break down why the smears didn’t originate organically and how familiar patterns emerge when Black women step into leadership. Credentials, record, and voter realities were ignored in favor of narratives designed to discredit. The timeline tells the story—and it wasn’t accidental.
Kaivan Shroff, the author of a new piece from The Daily Beast, titled "Democrats Must Stop Bickering--Jasmine Crockett Deserves Her Shot" spoke with Roland about the blatantly coordinated attack against Crockett.
🔥 Attacks on Jasmine Crockett began almost immediately after her announcement.
🔥 Panelists explain why the speed and messaging point to coordination, not coincidence.
🔥 Familiar patterns emerge when Black women seek leadership—credentials questioned, legitimacy challenged.
🔥 The facts don’t match the smears, and the timeline makes that clear.
