Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), an outspoken critic of President Trump, called the commander in chief a “piece of s–t” Sunday during a progressive rally in Arizona.
The foul-mouthed congresswoman’s latest jab adds to her running tally of crude insults aimed at Trump and other Republican pols.
“Listen, Donald Trump is a piece of s–t. OK, we know that,” Crockett said at the “Won’t Back Down Tour” in Phoenix, an event organized by progressive activist group MoveOn.
“He is, he is,” the Texas Democrat continued as the crowd cheered her on, “but in a functioning democracy, he still would not be able to get away with this.”
Crockett accused House and Senate Republicans and the entire judiciary – “especially the Supreme Court” – of being “complicit.”
“They refuse to put guardrails on themselves,” Crockett said of Supreme Court justices. “So it’s time for us to do it for them.”
The 44-year-old congresswoman’s appearance at the rally comes weeks after she criticized “Squad” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) “Fighting Oligarchy” tour for being self-promotional rather than about “the team.”
The nationwide rallies headlined by the lefty pair “kind of makes people be like, Oh, it’s about them, right? Instead of the team,” Crockett argued during a May meeting with Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.), as detailed in an Atlantic magazine profile of the Texas Democrat published last month.
Crockett referred to Trump, 79, as a “wannabe Hitler” in an interview with MSNBC last month, where she also acknowledged that she’s running out of insulting epithets to direct at the president.
“I don’t even know what to call him. I’ve called him so many things,” she said.
Crockett has previously referred to Trump as a “dictator,” an “enemy to the United States,” a “buffoon,” and a “mofo.”
Crockett also raised eyebrows for referring to Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Last month, Trump told The’s Post’s Miranda Devine, on her “Pod Force One podcast, that Crockett is the “new star” of the Democratic Party, while ripping her as “a low-IQ person.”
