"He also called you low IQ, I'm sure you're aware of that. Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly head-to-head against the President of the United States?"

While at the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner on Tuesday, April 8, Donald Trump didn't hesitate to criticize Jasmine Crockett.
"This new star, Crockett. How about her? Is that real? Are they serious about that? That's their new star? If that's their new star, they're in serious trouble," Trump told the crowd.
"I mean, this is — Crockett! Oh man, oh man. We've done a job, but they've totally lost their confidence, and it's a hard thing when you lose your confidence, but they have," the president continued. "They've taken a lot of beatings and now they're going to rely on Crockett to bring them back."

While chatting with
Jimmy Kimmel, Jasmine Crockett also mentioned
Kilmar Abrego Garcia's unlawful deportation.
"I mean, we know that they admitted that they were wrong. Now they're trying to double back and say, 'Well, he's this terrible person and all this kind of stuff,'" Crockett noted.
"But here's the reality. As far as I'm concerned, he's a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House, because last time I checked, he doesn't have any criminal convictions," Crockett noted, referring to how Donald Trump is a convicted felon.

Donald Trump's administration branded Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case an "administrative error," leading the Supreme Court to rule that the Maryland resident needs to be returned to the U.S.
However, Trump's team and El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele have implied that Abrego Garcia will remain in the South American country's prison system.
