Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) denounced Republicans as “racist” at a film festival in Martha’s Vineyard last week, where Rev. Al Sharpton referred to the “diva” congresswoman as “Jasmine Campbell.”
Sharpton’s brutal gaffe came as he reminisced about working on Shirley Chisholm’s 1972 presidential campaign, four years after she became the first black woman elected to Congress , and he compared Crockett to the trailblazing congresswoman.
“I lived to see Shirley Chisholm morph into Barbara Jordan, morph into Maxine Waters, morph into Ayanna Pressley and Jasmine Campbell,” Sharpton said during the fireside chat at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival. 3
