<p>White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt roasted Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) from the briefing room on Thursday, mocking her over her recent suggestion that President Donald Trump&#8217;s supporters suffered from mental illness.</p>
<p>Leavitt laid into the Texas Democrat in response to a question from The Daily Wire&#8217;s own Mary Margaret Olohan, who mentioned Crockett&#8217;s comments: &#8220;She said Trump supporters are &#8216;mentally ill&#8217; before calling for bipartisan support against the president. Can you respond to that, especially since she&#8217;s a rising star in the Democratic Party right now?&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s incredibly derogatory to accuse nearly 80 million Americans of mental illness. Last time I checked, Jasmine Crockett couldn&#8217;t dream of winning such a majority of the public.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/mJCftlHdDh">pic.twitter.com/mJCftlHdDh</a></p>

<p>&#8220;She is a rising star,&#8221; Leavitt responded with a smile. &#8220;It&#8217;s quite something to behold, actually. I hope that she continues to be a rising star, for the Republican Party at least.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s incredibly derogatory to accuse nearly 80 million Americans of mental illness. Last time I checked, Jasmine Crockett couldn&#8217;t dream of winning such a majority of the public as President Trump did,&#8221; Leavitt continued. &#8220;And the America First movement, which President Trump has built, is filled with hard-working patriots, forgotten men and women, business owners, law enforcement officers, nurses, and teachers, and middle America, as we all know, from where you all grew up outside of this beltway.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s who makes up this president&#8217;s movement, and Jasmine Crockett should go to a Trump call sometime and she can see it for herself,&#8221; Leavitt added.</p>
<p>Crockett raised eyebrows when she told Katie Couric, on her &#8220;Next Question&#8221; podcast, that widespread support for President Trump was essentially proof positive that the United States was dealing with a &#8220;mental health crisis.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve got a mental health crisis in this country because everyone — no matter how you affiliate yourself — should be against Trump. Period. This is not partisan for me. Like, I would give anything to have — sad to say — George Bush. Like, give me any regular Republican nowadays, and I would be happy,&#8221; Crockett said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know how far he has to go before we can come together and just say, &#8216;Enough is enough.&#8217; Like, this should not be partisanship.&#8221;</p>
