Lefty Rep. Jasmine Crockett dubs Trump a 'wannabe Hitler' over Epstein files drama

Outspoken Rep. Jasmine Crockett labeled President Trump a “wannabe Hitler,” drawing a parallel to the infamous Nazi leader while criticizing Republicans for their loyalty to him.

Crockett (D-Texas), known for her fiery language, launched the provocative remark against Trump while evaluating Republicans’ handling of the renewed controversy surrounding notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“I absolutely believe they will distance themselves from this as fast as they can,” Crockett said on MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports” on Saturday when questioned about whether Republicans would vote to release grand jury files on Epstein.

“They want to show that they’re loyal to this, you know, I don’t even know what to call him. I’ve called him so many things, but this wannabe Hitler for sure. They want to pledge their loyalty to him, and they know that he does not want this released.”

Trump and Republicans have been consumed by an Epstein firestorm after a memo from the Justice Department and FBI concluded the evidence indicates the deceased pedophile most likely didn’t have a client list and killed himself in prison.

That conclusion drew fury from the MAGA base, which promptly demanded more transparency from the Trump administration.

Trump had seethed at the demands and at one point, lashed out at the faction of his base as “weaklings” and “past supporters” who “bought into this ‘bulls—,’ hook, line, and sinker.”

Democrats quickly seized on the internecine battle within the GOP and introduced legislation to force the release of the Epstein files, drawing some Republican defections.

On Thursday morning, Trump declared that he is seeking the release of the grand jury testimony on Epstein — a step US Attorney General Pam Bondi quickly took.

Trump later groused Saturday that “nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request.”

Crockett surmised that Republicans will be careful about breaking ranks with Trump on the Epstein debacle due to fears it could damage the brand.

“I think they also are concerned about the damage that it may do,” she said. “If he’s trying to hide it, they understand that it is most likely problematic for him as well as the MAGA brand, as well as the Republicans.”

“So, I don’t anticipate that they will be on board for doing anything that may harm them or their fearless leader.”

All of this comes before lawmakers are poised to head home to their districts for the August recess. Some lawmakers, such as Libertarian-leaning Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), have concluded that constituents will likely put pressure on Republicans to push for more transparency on Epstein.

Crockett, whose frequent fiery rhetoric against Trump has a knack for going viral, has feuded with him publicly.

Last week, Trump called on Crockett and “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) to take an IQ test, strongly implying that his intelligence is far superior to hers.

“AOC, look, I think she’s very nice. But she’s very low-IQ, and we really don’t need low-IQ,” Trump told reporters on the White House lawn last Tuesday.

“Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”
