Jasmine Crockett drops SHOCKING statement about parents of victim murdered by Karmelo Anthony

Many in the black community have responded negatively to the verdict in the Karmelo Anthony murder trial, but few have reacted as poorly as Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas did.

Anthony was found guilty Tuesday of murdering 17-year-old high school star athlete Austin Metcalf at a track meet in Frisco, Texas, last year. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison.

'It's impossible to have a conversation with people who live in this level of delusion and perpetual fake victimhood.'

The case sparked a bitter debate on social media as some suggested that Anthony was prosecuted unfairly because he is black and the victim was white.

Crockett went even further to insult the parents of Austin Metcalf in order to inflame her fans and supporters.

"Black women, especially black women who have black male children, live in fear and agony every single day, a fear and agony that, I promise you, the Metcalfs probably never spend a day living that way," she said.

"We're gonna have to have just some real conversations about race in this country," she added, "but also just, like, what are we going to do to protect ourselves."

Crockett made the comments on her livestream show, "Clock It with Crockett," which can be viewed on her YouTube channel.

The snippet of her downplaying the Metcalf family's pain was posted to social media, where many reacted with rancor.

"Idolizing skin color has completely robbed you of common sense and decency. How dare you compare just being a black woman to the horror of losing a child," Shemeka Michelle replied.

"Jasmine Crockett believes the mere existence of black women in America is more painful than a white family watching their son murdered and living with that reality. It's impossible to have a conversation with people who live in this level of delusion and perpetual fake victimhood," T.J. Moe responded.

"This is disgusting! They lost their son. They look at their remaining son and see what their dead child would look like if he had a chance to age with him. Can she imagine that?" another user replied.

Crockett failed to secure the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat for Texas after running in order to punish Republicans for redistricting the state.

She was beaten by Democratic state Rep. James Talarico, who is now running against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) in the pivotal race that could determine control of the Senate.
