U.S. Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) expressed her discontent towards a Democratic Senator who participated in ridiculing a recent “choose your fighter” video shared by Crockett and other progressive Democrats.The awkward TikTok video showcased Representatives Crockett, Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Underwood (D-IL), Clark (D-MA), Chu (D-CA), and Lee (D-NV), all of whom portrayed video game characters reminiscent of a 1990s Mortal Kombat game. In the clip, Congresswoman Crockett is seen energetically bouncing as if embodying a character from the game,
Similar to Mortal Kombat and other video games, each congresswoman’s “character” was assigned specific traits and special abilities. Crockett’s portrayal identified her as a public defender/attorney and humorously noted that she is “not a morning person.”This video was released shortly after the Democratic Party’s erratic behavior during President Trump’s joint address to Congress and has faced significant derision on social media.The White House rapid response social media account remarked, “Democrats Not Be Cringe Challenge,” on X, adding, “Level: Impossible.” Conservative commentator Ryan James Girdusky remarked, “There are just some people who don’t have anyone in their lives willing to tell them to stop.”
