Watch Jasmine Crockett Try to Rationalize How People on the Left Can’t ‘Make a Shot From 200 Yards'

Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett tried to downplay left-wing political violence on CNN Tuesday by claiming liberals don’t grow up shooting guns and therefore pose less of a threat.

A Friday poll from YouGov found that 25% of respondents who identify as very liberal believe political violence is sometimes justified. In an appearance on “The Arena,” host Kasie Hunt asked directly whether political violence from the right is worse than from the left. Crockett dodged and branded the entire comparison “false.”

“Please tell me who is fostering this gun culture, right? I mean, the reality is that the average person on the left probably couldn’t make a shot from 200 yards because they haven’t been playing with assault rifles since they were a little kid. Like that is just the reality of how people on the left typically work,” Crockett told Hunt. “And if we believe that political violence is a problem in this country, if we believe that our children on campuses, just because they want to go out and have a day of free speech on campus, may be subjected to this kind of violence, then maybe we need to start talking about legislation that will keep these types of weapons out of certain people’s hands.”

Crockett floated red flag laws as a possible solution and ended her remarks by urging mitigation efforts to protect political expression across the spectrum.
