In a fiery and now-viral exchange, Fox News contributor and Gutfeld! co-host Tyrus unleashed a blistering takedown of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) following her controversial comments comparing illegal immigration to slavery. Known for his unfiltered commentary and unapologetic defense of conservative values, Tyrus didn’t hold back—slamming Crockett’s remarks as not only “divisive” but “an insult to the legacy of slavery.”

The Outburst: Crockett’s Controversial Comments Spark Outrage

The firestorm began when Rep. Jasmine Crockett, during a recent public appearance, suggested that illegal immigration in America mirrors the exploitation of African slaves in the antebellum South. While she claimed to be drawing attention to systemic oppression faced by marginalized communities, the backlash was immediate—and fierce.

Conservatives accused Crockett of making a false moral equivalence between two vastly different issues. Critics argued that comparing slavery—a brutal, centuries-long system of racial bondage—to today’s illegal immigration debate not only distorts history but disrespects the generational trauma endured by African Americans.

Tyrus, who rarely shies away from controversy, took aim at Crockett’s remarks in a now-viral commentary that aired on Fox News and was widely shared across platforms like X and Rumble.

Tyrus Unleashes: “She’s Using Slavery as a Political Weapon”

In his scathing monologue, Tyrus accused Crockett of using race and the legacy of slavery as a political weapon to score points with progressive voters.

“She’s using slavery and the black community to serve her own political narrative,” Tyrus declared. “It’s a disgusting tactic and an insult to the legacy of those who truly suffered during slavery.”

He continued by lambasting what he sees as a pattern of hypocrisy among progressive lawmakers, saying many claim to champion justice and equality while perpetuating division and manipulating racial narratives for political capital.

Tyrus emphasized that while slavery was a horrific and unique institution rooted in race-based dehumanization, illegal immigration is a complex legal and national security issue. “They’re not even in the same galaxy,” he said bluntly.

The Broader Issue: Racial Division in Political Discourse

Tyrus didn’t stop at Crockett. He called out the entire left-wing political playbook, accusing Democrats of using race to divide Americans rather than unify them.

“This is what happens when the left doesn’t have solutions—they go straight to race,” he said. “When you use slavery as a political cudgel, you not only do a disservice to its victims, you cheapen the real struggles of people today.”

Tyrus argued that progressives often use identity politics to pit marginalized groups against one another, instead of focusing on policies that help all Americans. “The Democrats will tell you they care about immigrants and the black community, but then use them both for political manipulation,” he said.

Critics vs. Supporters: The Political Fallout

Crockett’s defenders argue that her comments were taken out of context and that she was highlighting the exploitation of undocumented immigrants. But many, even some moderates, believe she crossed a line.

Comment sections, call-ins, and conservative blogs lit up with praise for Tyrus. Hashtags like #TyrusDestroys and #StopRaceBaiting began trending, as Americans weighed in on the clash. Fans called Tyrus’ takedown “refreshing,” “bold,” and “long overdue.”

Meanwhile, Crockett has yet to directly respond to Tyrus, but allies in progressive circles have tried to reframe the debate, accusing conservatives of “weaponizing outrage” while ignoring systemic inequities.

Why This Moment Matters

Tyrus’ response to Crockett’s remarks taps into a larger cultural tension—how race, history, and modern policy intersect in public discourse. While many Americans agree that both immigration and racial inequality are issues worth addressing, conflating them—especially in the way Crockett did—can muddy the conversation and create more division than solutions.

Tyrus’ appeal to “historical integrity” resonated with many who believe slavery’s legacy should be treated with the seriousness it deserves—and not used as a political analogy.

“Politics should be about fixing problems,” Tyrus concluded. “Not about throwing around race-based rhetoric just to inflame or guilt people into submission.”

Conclusion: A Fiery Exchange That Won’t Be Forgotten

This exchange between Tyrus and Rep. Jasmine Crockett underscores a critical turning point in America’s ongoing debate about race and identity in politics. As progressives continue to lean into racial narratives, conservatives like Tyrus are pushing back harder than ever—demanding honest conversations, not emotional manipulation.

For many viewers, Tyrus’ impassioned takedown wasn’t just about Crockett’s remarks—it was a rallying cry for political clarity, unity, and truth.
