Crockett's remarks come on the heels of a contentious back-and-forth with President Donald Trump on Sunday.
"For you to be in charge of the WHOLE country, you sure do have my name in your mouth a lot. Every time you say my name, you’re reminding the world that you’re terrified of smart, bold Black women telling the truth and holding you accountable. So keep talking," Crockett said.
Trump on Sunday told Kristen Welker, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," that Crockett is a "low I.Q. person," calling her the future of the Democratic Party, which he described as in "disarray."

The White House's rapid response account replied to the comments on X, calling Crockett "another unhinged Democrat inciting violence."
Earlier this year, Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Crockett of "threatening lives" and said she should apologize for her rhetoric against Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) for saying, "'All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.'" Crockett would clarify that her comments were intended as "nonviolent" resistance.
Crockett was also criticized this year for calling Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, who is in a wheelchair, "Governor Hot Wheels." She tried to walk back the comments after her remarks went viral, calling the outrage a "distraction" and claiming she was "appalled that the very people who unequivocally support Trump – a man known for racially insensitive nicknames and mocking those with disabilities – are now outraged."
