Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas lashed out at Vice President JD Vance over comments he made ridiculing her "street-girl persona" as fake.
Crockett was asked by Joy Behar to respond to Vance's comments when she appeared on "The View" on Tuesday.
'Let me be clear: I understand what happens in the streets, but I don't have to, quote, unquote, be a "street girl!"'
"She wants to be a senator, though her street-girl persona is about as real as her nails!" Vance said to loud applause from a Turning Point USA audience.
"So, first of all, my nails are real!" Crockett replied to laughter from the studio crowd.
"But I will say, what a lot of people don't understand ... is that Republicans are a lot better at doing focus groups. Right?" she added. "And so Democrats, we rely on poll, poll, poll, but focus groups allow you to kind of get down to the nitty-gritty of why people feel a certain way about certain things."
Crockett is running for a U.S. Senate seat from Texas after Republicans redrew their congressional district lines to increase their odds of winning the midterm elections.
"Well, I can tell you that right now, what disturbs them is that I am able to get at a demographic that Democrats have been losing. Consistently in third-party polls, as well as my internal polling, it shows that those that don't have a college degree, by over 70%, choose me," she continued.
"Well, that's a demographic that we've been losing — so now he's like, 'No no no, it's all fake. Don't believe that.' No, the reality is that I was a criminal defense attorney. I was a public defender. I am somebody who walked into plenty of jails and dealt with real killers," Crockett said.
"So let me be clear: I understand what happens in the streets, but I don't have to, quote, unquote, be a 'street girl,'" she concluded.

"Don't you think that that's racist? What is it?" Behar asked.
"Joy, you know it's racist!" Crockett replied. "We know that, right?"
Video of Crockett's comments were posted to social media.
Crockett is ahead of her competitor for the Democratic nomination, according to a recent poll.

President Donald Trump urged Congress to loosen up on a key Republican amendment that prevents taxpayer-funded abortion.
Trump said Republicans need "to be a little flexible on Hyde" in order to make health care a winning issue for the GOP. Notably the Hyde Amendment prevents tax dollars from funding abortion services but makes exceptions for cases of rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother.
'I'm not flexible on the value of every child's life.'
"You have to be a little flexible on Hyde. You know that. You got to be a little flexible," Trump said Tuesday. "You got to work something. You got to use ingenuity. You got to work."
These remarks were quickly met with pushback from prominent pro-life groups as well as Republican lawmakers who called the amendment a nonnegotiable.

Republican Sens. James Lankford of Oklahoma and Roger Marshall of Kansas both stood firmly against watering down or giving up on the Hyde Amendment despite the pressure from the president.
"I'm not flexible on the value of every child's life," Lankford told Huffington Post.
“I certainly understand where the president's coming from, but I'm unapologetically pro-life," Marshall added.

Pro-life groups like Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America pointed to Trump's past support for the amendment, calling it a "minimum standard" for the Republican Party.
"The voters sent a GOP trifecta to Washington, and they expect it to govern like one," SBA President Marjorie Dannenfelser said in a statement. "Giving in to Democrat demands that our tax dollars are used to fund plans that cover abortion on demand until birth would be a massive betrayal."
“President Trump has consistently supported the Hyde Amendment. He pledged repeatedly to make it permanent law, including in health care coverage, and one of his first actions upon taking office last year was prioritizing the reversal of President Biden’s Hyde violations."
