In recent remarks that have ignited fierce debate, Representative

Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), known for her affiliation with the progressive “Squad,” found herself at the

center of controversy after expressing support for foreign nations over

the United States. During an interview on a popular New York City radio show, Crockett openly

declared that she was “rooting” for Canada and Mexico—nations she praised for

their candidness and forthrightness in standing up to what she characterized as a “crazy

regime” in the United States. These comments have drawn significant criticism from

conservatives and American patriots alike, who view them as a dismissal of national

loyalty.

Crockett’s remarks came during a discussion on The Breakfast Club, a show well known

for its hard-hitting political dialogue. “The fact that I’m rooting for Canada and I’m

rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild,” she stated. Her unexpected endorsement of these neighboring countries was paired with pointed criticism of the current state of

American politics. According to Crockett, both Canada and Mexico have been “speaking truth to power” in contrast to what she perceives as an increasingly dysfunctional

U.S. administration. This perspective, particularly the idea that foreign nations are somehow models of resistance against domestic issues, has led to accusations of anti-

American sentiment.
