Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett of Texas suggested that Hispanic Americans who voted for President-elect Donald Trump may have done so because they had a “slave mentality.”
Trump's landslide victory was fueled by historic turnout for Republican candidates by minority voters who traditionally voted blue. Voters across the board said they preferred President Trump to Vice President Kamala Harris because of his economic and immigration policies, but Crockett blamed this on a minority's “slave mentality” and “misogyny.” did.

President Joe Biden's numbers were slightly worse in 2020, winning by 43 points among college-educated minorities and by 46 points among non-college-educated minorities. This trend culminated in 2024 with Harris, who succeeded in securing the college-educated minority vote by just 35 points and the non-college-educated minority vote by just 32 points.

I've never encountered anything like that in the African community. I've never encountered anything like that in the Caribbean community. The only people I encountered were Hispanics.”
“It reminds me of when people talk about a kind of 'slave mentality' and the kind of hatred that some slaves would have for themselves,” Crockett continued. “The mentality they have is almost slave-like. As immigrants, many of them, to hear how anti-immigrant they are, it's insane to me. What I'm talking about is , people who are literally just here and can barely vote.”
Crockett also blamed misogyny, not policies, for Harris' failure among black male voters.
“I will say that black people have historically been very loyal,” Crockett said. [turnout] Although there has been some peeling, these numbers are still there for black people. And that bit of detachment is from a black man, and I'm going to chalk that up to being misogynistic. ”
