- Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, said podcasters and comedians Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang were saying "the quiet part out loud" in their criticism of her Senate bid, suggesting the statement was about her race.
- "I really do think that the host said the quiet part out loud, which basically was: If a White man couldn’t do it, then why would a Black woman even have the audacity to think that she could?" Crockett said in an interview in January, according to the Washington Post.
- "I don’t know however many White men, and they’ve all lost.
- The only thing we know for sure is that a White man can lose."Rogers and Yang, hosts of the "Las Culturistas" podcast, faced backlash after Rogers urged listeners not to donate to Crockett’s campaign, criticizing politicians who ‘make things about themselves.’ Yang agreed with Rogers, but both apologized days later for the remarks.
