‘F--- her’: Jasmine Crockett torched by ex-Dem colleague over who

The most telling part of this story isn't the profanity, though that’s certainly what got everyone’s attention. A former Democratic congresswoman, Susan Wild, looked at Jasmine Crockett’s PAC endorsements and responded with a vulgarity so hot it could have come straight from a barroom brawl. It’s the kind of raw, unfiltered anger that happens when a political party’s internal contradictions finally snap. Crockett, the Texas firebrand, left a fellow progressive off her list, and Wild reacted like a betrayed sibling rather than a seasoned legislator.

You have to appreciate the irony. The party that lectures the rest of us about civility and democratic norms is tearing itself apart over a list of names. The fight isn’t about policy or principles — it’s about who gets to be in the club, who gets the attention, who gets the platform in the new woke hierarchy. Talarico is a young, reportedly effective state lawmaker, but Crockett apparently decided he wasn’t useful enough to her political brand. The reaction from Wild wasn’t just about him. It was about what Crockett represents: a rising generation of Democrats who are more interested in internet fame than in winning elections.

All this is happening while Republicans are having a genuine, messy, but ultimately open argument about real governance. The left, meanwhile, is busy eating its own over perceived slights and social media snubs. That’s not a strategy for governing a country. That’s the behavior of a group that has forgotten what it’s for. If the best the former colleagues on the left can do is curse each other out in public, they’re telling voters everything they need to know about who is ready to lead and who is just ready to perform. We’ll take our internal debates over their personal vendettas, any day of the week.
