Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is drawing fire after boldly declaring she would best President Donald Trump in an IQ test—comments that are sparking backlash and going viral online.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel, Crockett didn’t hold back when asked about Trump’s past comments targeting her intelligence. “He also called you low IQ, I’m sure you’re aware of that,” Kimmel prompted. “Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly, head-to-head against the president of the United States?”

“Absolutely,” Crockett said.

Throughout the interview, Crockett ridiculed what she described as a “lack of leadership” in America and slammed Elon Musk as “sinister,” saying, “he ain’t [a genius].”

She even implied Trump was trying to distance himself from Musk due to poor poll numbers, saying, “The stench ain’t getting off of you, Trump, honey.”

In the interview, Crockett also acknowledged her growing popularity online, joking about her many political feuds, including ones with Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Nancy Mace (R-SC), and even Ted Cruz (R-TX). She took another jab at Greene by saying, “She still winning, honey,” when asked if Greene still holds the title of “dumbest person in Congress.”

The Texas congresswoman closed her segment by urging Democrats to focus more on how they communicate rather than policy specifics, stating that voters care more about “vibes” and whether a politician “feels honest,” even if they don’t agree.
