In a statement that has already sent shockwaves across the political spectrum, Representative Jasmine Crockett, the rising Democratic star from Texas, urged party supporters to “flood” the state ahead of the next election. Her goal, she said, was to counteract what she called a systematic effort by Texas lawmakers to suppress Black and Brown voters through a controversial redistricting plan. But the way she framed her plan — including a pointed reference to “racist” whites fleeing to Arkansas — has ignited a firestorm, drawing praise, condemnation, and fierce debate on social media and news outlets alike.
