Meanwhile, Trump supporters saw the incident as further proof that the Democratic Party is imploding. One person summed up the reaction among conservatives: “They have nothing left in their tank… it’s glorious.”

Crockett, a member of the far-left “Squad” faction of the Democratic Party, is no stranger to controversy. She has frequently made inflammatory remarks and has embraced radical leftist policies, making her a frequent target of Republican criticism.
