During a high-profile live TV moment in 2025, Donald Trump insulted Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett by calling her "low IQ" in an attempt to undermine her credibility.
However, in a stunning and rapid response, Crockett decisively destroyed Trump in just 30 seconds, turning the tables on the former president.
The context for this exchange originated when Trump publicly challenged Crockett and fellow Democrats to take a live IQ test after boasting about his own cognitive scores. Crockett accepted the challenge with confidence, even suggesting playful add-ons like a sit-up contest to tie-break the test.
When Trump insulted her intelligence on live television, Crockett responded by pointing out a pattern she had noticed in Trump's derogatory remarks: they tend to target women, especially women of color. She further called out the president for spending more time trolling critics than focusing on serious issues like ending government shutdowns. Crockett's calm, sharp, and reasoned defense quickly won praise from viewers and media alike.
