Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said Tuesday that she would “absolutely” take an IQ test against President Trump.
She made the remarks on Jimmy Kimmel’s ABC show Tuesday, when he noted that the president had referred to Crockett as “‘low IQ.’”
“Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly, head-to-head against the president of the United States?” Kimmel asked.
Crockett cut in multiple times during Kimmel’s question, responding that she would “absolutely” do so, and then gave a final “Absolutely,” following Kimmel’s question.
Trump referred to Crockett as “a very low IQ person” while appearing on host Vince Coglianese’s show on Washington, D.C.-based WMAL radio in March.
During Crockett’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance, a clip was played of Trump from the National Republican Congressional Committee Dinner a few weeks ago in which he said that if the Texas Democrat is her party’s “new star, they’re in serious trouble.”
“It says a lot when you literally are supposed to be the leader of the free world and you’re worried about a rising sophomore in the House,” Crockett said in response to the clip.
In mid-April, Crockett questioned the president’s mental fitness during economic instability that came as a result of his aggressive tariff agenda.
“The fact that no one is questioning his mental acuity or fitness to serve is beyond wild to me,” she said during an MSNBC interview at the time.
“Like the fact that they sat around, called Joe Biden ‘Sleepy Joe Biden,’ and as I said before, at least you could sleep at night because you didn’t have to worry about your 401(k) disappearing overnight,” she added.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
